Architect-Designed High-End Residential Refurbishment & Extension

A contract-administered, turnkey transformation featuring architectural glazing, bespoke glass roof and full services recommissioning.

MD Building Services delivered this architect-designed, high-end residential refurbishment and extension as a fully turnkey project under Contract Administrator (CA) instruction, ensuring controlled delivery, technical compliance and exceptional build quality throughout.

The project involved a complete reconfiguration of the existing house, a contemporary architectural extension with large-scale glazing, and the full recommissioning of all electrical, plumbing and heating systems — finished to an exceptionally high specification.

Architectural Extension with Bespoke Glazing & Glass Roof

The centrepiece of the project is a contemporary architect-designed extension, created to maximise light, space and connection to the garden.

Works included:

• Large-format architectural aluminium glazing systems
• A bespoke structural glass roof to one side of the extension
• Installation of structural steelwork to support wide openings
• Precision detailing to achieve minimal frames and clean sightlines

This architectural glazing transforms the internal environment, flooding the home with natural light and creating a modern, open-plan living space.

Full Internal Reconfiguration (Architect-Led Layout)

Working strictly to architect-issued drawings and under CA management, MD Building Services delivered a complete internal reconfiguration of the property.

Scope included:

• Structural alterations and steel installation
• Removal and creation of internal walls
• Reconfiguration of living, kitchen and circulation spaces
• Improved spatial flow between existing house and new extension

All works were delivered in accordance with specifications, inspections and approval processes.

Complete Electrical Rewiring & Plumbing Replacement

The property underwent a full recommissioning of all building services, bringing the home up to modern performance and safety standards.

This included:

• Full electrical rewiring throughout the house
• New lighting layouts, power distribution and switching
• Complete replacement of plumbing systems
• New hot and cold water services
• Coordination with kitchen, bathrooms and heating systems

All services were installed to current regulations and coordinated with the wider architectural design.

Luxury Kitchen, Bathrooms & Underfloor Heating

MD Building Services installed a new high-specification kitchen along with multiple luxury bathrooms, all finished with meticulous attention to detail.

Works included:

• Bespoke kitchen installation
• High-end sanitaryware and fittings
• Precision tiling and detailing
• Installation of a full underfloor heating system throughout the property

The underfloor heating provides energy-efficient comfort while supporting clean architectural finishes.

Architectural Windows, Bespoke Oak Porch & External Enhancements

Externally, the property was elevated with premium architectural elements designed to complement the extension.

These included:

• Installation of new aluminium windows throughout
• A bespoke oak porch, crafted to enhance the entrance
• High-performance glazing for thermal efficiency and aesthetics

These features unify the old and new elements of the house into a cohesive architectural statement.

Turnkey Delivery Under Contract Administration

Although delivered as a full turnkey project, all works were completed:

• Under Contract Administrator (CA) instruction
• To architect-issued drawings and specifications
• With formal inspections, approvals and reporting
• In coordination with building control and consultants

This ensured quality assurance, cost control and programme discipline from start to completion.
