It totally exceeded all our expectations!

The Belvia Construction Company have recently finished our single storey extension. I cannot recommend James and his whole
team enough. Every single one of them worked so hard, were very helpful, polite and considerate and gave us immense confidence in their workmanship. James kept to his schedule and was extremely organised and hands on. He offered advice when we were hesitant, but equally was always willing to make a few minor changes along the way.
The team made what we had been fearing would be a huge upheaval, so much easier and more pleasant than we ever expected!
James said he wanted us to come down each morning and really love our extra space – it totally exceeded all our expectations!
We would recommend The Belvia
Construction Company 100%!
Thank you, James and Co!

The finish is of a very high quality

Jimi and the team were professional throughout the renovation of our main bathroom. Each trader that entered our home was polite, considerate and performed their part of the renovation to a very high standard. The finish is of a very high quality and we will definitely be asking them back for more work to be carried out within our home. Thank you to everyone at The Belvia Construction.

A superb job of our new kitchen

James and his excellent team at Belvia made a superb job of our new kitchen. Right from the planning stage, it was clear we were dealing with people who have a great eye for detail and really care about doing the job well. When the work started, they were totally reliable, arriving when they said they would and leaving the kitchen neat and tidy at the end of each day. We are really pleased with the result and would recommend Belvia to anyone who is looking for an expert builder. It was also definitely good value for money, and we are delighted with the work. Thank you, again, James!

We would recommend Belvia Construction to everyone!

We would recommend Belvia construction to everyone! James and his team are excellent and their attention to detail, quality of work and efficiency was very welcomed with a project scheduled to wrap ready for Christmas, and delivered just in time for the tree to make an appearance and all our family to arrive to stay!
We set out to remodel and renovate the downstairs of our home & the exterior facade and were so impressed throughout the 4month build process. Welcoming a team into your home with 2 young children and whilst living upstairs can feel a little daunting but the team were just brilliant, super approachable, lovely with the kids and so easy to have with us, not to mention spotlessly tidy!

James’ communication was fantastic throughout the planning phase and whilst the build was underway, both on-site and over email & whatsapp. Nothing ever felt too much trouble (even when we hit the natural challenges of a remodel of an old property), he was always great at helping us steer toward decisions when needed, giving us advance warning of key deadlines and timelines for materials or fittings to arrive, and is a true professional!
We are already planning our next project with the Belvia team and really can’t thank them enough for all their hard work landing our project and creating a space we love – and all importantly, on time and to budget! Thank you!

The attention to detail and communication level was second to none

James and his team at Belvia were responsible for overseeing a refurbishment of our main family bathroom.
This is the second time we’ve had Belvia in our home, previously it was for a rear extension of our property some 5 years ago.

Whilst this project is nowhere near the size of our first with James, the attention to detail and communication level was second to none. Belvia combined multiple trades to ensure a smooth transition as the project progressed and we couldn’t be happier with the finished product.

Couldn’t recommend enough.

All work was done to a very high standard

So impressed with Belvia construction,we moved to a property that needed new kitchen, bathroom and en suite.
James gave great advice with the planning of the works.
All work was done to a very high standard from stripping the rooms back,moving door frames and walls to the fitting of new kitchen,bathroom suite and en suite also new unvented hot water cylinder/system and flooring throughout.
A big shout out to the lads Ryan,Ellis,Barry,John Jo and Ryan (sorry if forgotten anyone) very reliable and friendly team and hard working and did an amazing job.

Outstanding 5 star building services from Belvia Construction

From the start Jim gave us total confidence that Belvia were an incredibly professional and capable building company. They always arrived when they promised, they left everything tidy, the lads (Ryan, Ellis & Luke) were very polite and knew exactly what they were doing. Every aspect of the build was undertaken with the highest level of quality. Things we mentioned early on in the process were remembered and implemented exactly as we required. Our friend (also a builder) visited and was really impressed with the finish, which is no mean feat.

We are overwhelmed with the final result – it is even better than we expected and there is nothing we would change. We would 100% recommend Belvia Construction. Many thanks to Jim and the team.

James and the Belvia team have recently completed a kitchen design which included removing a dividing wall to create a kitchen diner for us.

Frequently Asked Questions

While our core strength lies in construction, we recognise the importance of seamless collaboration. We have a network of trusted architects and designers we can recommend to assist with your project’s initial design and planning stages. We’ll work closely with these professionals to ensure a smooth transition into construction and that your vision is fully realised.

Transparent pricing and proactive cost management are cornerstones of our approach. We’ll provide a detailed, itemised quote upfront, outlining all anticipated costs. Throughout the project, we’ll closely monitor expenses, track any changes or additions, and communicate with you transparently to ensure your project stays within budget.

We believe in open and transparent communication. You’ll receive regular updates on your project’s progress, including detailed reports, photos, and on-site visits as needed. We also encourage open dialogue throughout the build, so you’re always aware of what’s happening and can address any questions or concerns promptly.

Yes, every project at Belvia has a dedicated project manager who will serve as your main point of contact. Your project manager will oversee the entire process, ensuring seamless coordination, clear communication, and timely execution. They’ll be readily available to answer your questions, address any concerns, and keep you informed every step of the way.

We take environmental responsibility seriously. We manage waste disposal in accordance with all local regulations and industry best practices. We strive to minimise waste wherever possible and recycle or repurpose materials whenever feasible. We’ll ensure your site remains clean and organised throughout the project, and we’ll leave your property in pristine condition upon completion. We will discuss any skip requirements with you before starting the project.

In many cases, you won’t need planning permission for a kitchen extension if it falls under permitted development. This usually covers single-storey extensions that stay within set limits, for example, extending no more than 3 metres from the rear of a semi-detached/terraced home or 4 metres from a detached home, keeping the height within limits, using similar materials, and ensuring the extension doesn’t take up more than half of your garden.

However, you will need planning permission if you’re planning something larger or more complex, such as extending beyond these limits, adding another storey, altering the roof significantly, or building in a restricted area.

If you’re unsure whether your plans qualify as permitted development, it’s best to check with your local council or speak to a member of our team who can advise you based on your specific requirements and layout. Even when planning permission isn’t required, building regulations approval will still be needed before work starts.

Absolutely! We can work with your existing layout or completely reconfigure the space. During the consultation, our designers will assess what works best for your needs and budget.

Kitchen extensions can vary greatly in price, with the cost being dependent on the size, specifications, and structural requirements. Get in touch with a member of our team for a free quotation.

Kitchen renovations can typically be completed in 3-6 weeks, while extensions and more complex projects can take 8-20 weeks. We’ll provide you with a detailed timeline when we take on the project.

Many single-storey extensions can be built under Permitted Development without formal planning permission. Larger builds, double-storey extensions, and properties in conservation areas usually require a planning application. We assess your property and advise on the correct route before any work begins. Read our full planning permission guide.

Single-storey extensions typically start from £2,250 + VAT per square metre, while double-storey builds start from £4,500 + VAT per m². Final costs depend on size, structural complexity, and finishes. We provide fixed-price quotations after surveying your property – see our full cost breakdown above.

Most single-storey extensions take 10–14 weeks from breaking ground to handover. Double-storey and wrap-around builds typically take 14–20 weeks depending on complexity. We provide a detailed project timeline before work starts. For a full stage-by-stage breakdown, read our house extension building process guide.

In most cases, yes. A well-designed extension in Essex can add between 5% and 15% to your property’s value, depending on the type of extension and local market conditions. Open-plan kitchen-diners and additional bedrooms with en-suites tend to deliver the strongest returns.

Yes – the majority of our clients remain in their homes throughout the project. We plan the build sequence to minimise disruption, and we keep the site clean and secure at the end of each working day. We’ll discuss any temporary arrangements (such as kitchen access during a kitchen extension) before work starts.

Yes. Building Regulations approval is required for every house extension regardless of whether planning permission is needed. We manage the full Building Control process, including applications, site inspections, and obtaining your completion certificate.

Absolutely. We regularly build side return, rear, and single-storey extensions on semi-detached and terraced properties across Essex. Party wall agreements may be required, and we’ll guide you through that process.

A Party Wall Agreement is required under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 if your extension is built on or near a shared boundary with a neighbouring property. This applies to most semi-detached and terraced house extensions. We’ll advise you on whether one is needed and help you serve the correct notices.

In some cases, yes – particularly if the existing property has structural limitations, the cost of extending approaches the cost of rebuilding, or you’ve purchased a separate plot. A new build also benefits from zero-rated VAT, unlike extensions which attract 20% VAT. See our new builds and custom house building page for costs, timelines, and how the process works.
