Extensions and added storeys
We build timber-framed houses and extensions in the Helsinki region. Jason qualified as a carpenter in 2001 and has worked in construction in six countries, and the company has operated in Helsinki since 2011.
An extension is often the most sensible way to get more space without moving. We build extra rooms, glazed porches, rooms over garages and whole new wings.
On new builds we do the framing and interior work to the client's designs.
Common questions
Do I need a building permit for an extension?
Almost always yes. Start the permit process early.
Should I extend or move?
It depends on the plot, the house and your needs. We go through the options with you, and you decide.
Can a second storey be added?
Sometimes. It depends on the structure and the local plan, and needs a structural engineer.
Who does the drawings?
We work with designers, or build to your own designer’s drawings.
Can we live in the house during the extension?
Usually yes. The existing part is protected, and the connection to it is made as late as possible.
General questions
How much will it cost?
It always depends on the job, so we do not quote blind. We come and look and give you a quote. Asking for a quote does not commit you to anything.
Who makes the decisions?
You do. We explain the options and give recommendations from long experience, but the final choices are always yours.
Does the household tax deduction apply?
For private individuals, usually on the labour share when the work is done in your own home or holiday home.
Where do you work?
Helsinki, Espoo, Vantaa, Kauniainen, Kirkkonummi and Sipoo. For larger jobs, elsewhere in Uusimaa too.
Can I deal with you in English?
Yes. Jason and the crew work in English.
Are your contractor’s obligations in order?
Yes. We are a Tilaajavastuu.fi Luotettava Kumppani, so tax, pension insurance and other records are verifiable.
