The Wibsey brief
For a Wibsey or Buttershaw home, compare a rear extension with rearranging the existing ground floor. The best brief explains the household problem: a separate utility, a larger kitchen or a room with garden access. It also records slopes and steps that the new space must connect to.
Preparation guidance, not a survey of your property. The location photograph shows the area; it is not evidence of work by ATR.
BD6 / 01
Use levels to compare the options
Bring to the conversationA simple section through the house and garden.
Why this matters
Record the kitchen floor, rear threshold and garden levels. Discuss whether each option needs steps, retaining work or a changed drainage route before comparing only the area of new floor space.
BD6 / 02
Retain the functions being displaced
Bring to the conversationA list of existing functions to retain or relocate.
Why this matters
Identify storage, boiler space and access that disappear in the new layout. Include their replacement in the scope so an apparently spacious design does not create a second, unpriced project.
The address matters
