Our fees

How much does it cost to build an extension? We understand people are keen to know what it would cost to use our services so have prepared some example price packages to give you an idea of what to expect.

All projects are different and we prepare a bespoke fixed fee quotation after meeting you and understanding what the project will involve.

The fee quotation is based on our estimate of how long it will take to do the work and we prepare a resource schedule which tells you what has been allowed for. Sometimes this can change if project requirements evolve and we would let you know when the original fee is likely to be exceeded. For some more complex or commercial projects we fee on a % of the build cost but we’ll discuss this with at the fee stage.

We provide 2 options for an initial consultation. Home consultation or Video/phone consultation which, are currently offered Free of Charge. 

All fees are subject to VAT at standard rate.

🏡 LISTED BUILDING WORK 🏡

Alterations and extension to a townhouse forming part of a classical ashlar terrace built in the nineteenth century, split across 3 levels to the front and 4 to the rear.

In the 1950s internal alterations were carried out at the property, with a significant change being the raising of the original kitchen floor level to be the same as the entrance hallway level. This change led to the raising of the floor level of part of the mezzanine level above, along with subsequent changes to the window sizes and their positions on the rear elevation.

The property had undergone some fabric modifications in the last century but retained various original features, for example decorative cornicing to principal reception rooms at the front of the property, the main staircase, fireplaces and internal doors.

The principal front rooms to the property mostly retained the feeling of grandeur intended as part of the original design. Unfortunately, however, the ground floor level to the rear of the property and mezzanine level above did not appear in keeping with the rest of the property; partly due to the original function of these spaces (designed as functional utilitarian spaces and servant’s quarters) but predominantly as a consequence to the various unsympathetic alterations made to the property over time. In particular, the property felt visibly and accessibly disconnected from the rear garden and the views out to the green landscape beyond.

KPA's scope was to bring forward proposals seeking to harmonise with and augment the existing character of the building, a fundamental concept within architectural design and conservation.

Pleased to say the client was delighted with the result. 📷
Meet our newest member of the Team, Ryan.

'I am an RIBA Part 2 qualified architectural assistant with over 4 years of experience working on a wide range of domestic and commercial projects across the west of Scotland. I am interested in working with historic and listed buildings developing thoughtful proposals with a focus on sustainability. I also enjoy working closely with clients to provide a unique, contemporary approach to the design of new builds and extensions that complements and improves the surrounding environment. Furthermore, I have a keen interest in using the latest 3D software to allow clients to visualise our designs through realistic renderings and videos. Since joining KPA in 2026 I hope to continue to develop my skills whilst working towards gaining my chartership.
In my spare time, I like to travel and enjoy visiting amusement parks around the world. I also enjoy composing music and creating content for my YouTube channel'.

📢 Planning approval; selected project. 

We’re delighted that planning consent was granted for this exciting home project to create an Outbuilding to accommodate a Swim-pod and gym.

This project has been a collaboration from day 1 and we're excited to move this project one step closer to reality.

Lots of technical challenges with a project like this, but KPA has a broad skillset enabling us to overcome these and advise the client accordingly.  1 Key focus was to connect to the current landscaping allowing the build to be appropriately placed in the beautiful woodland setting.  It will be a very peaceful and tranquil space for the client.

📢 Planning approval; selected project. 

We were delighted when planning consent was granted for this exciting home project in Edinburgh to create an open plan kitchen / dining area with a utility space to the side connecting to the existing garage which, is to be renovated into storage and a garden study.

We're excited to move this project one step closer to reality.

A key challenge was dealing with the existing garage (being repurposed) and tying this into the new extension both in terms of style and circulation.  Thankfully, we love a challenge!

Recently, I've held a couple of consultations where the client stated they felt a little confused on where to start the process.

🔨 Builder 
📐 Architect / practice 

We always say there's no right or wrong.  The important part is to find people you can work with and trust.  Any good builder will know trusted architectural services and any good architectural service will know trusted builders.  Their skillsets will cross over but clearly each will have their own expert driven advice.

The right choice for you can depend on a few things....project, budget, and long-term goals.

🔨 If you approach a builder:
• Your project is straightforward (e.g. internal alterations, simple renovations, standard extensions).
• You want quick cost estimates and practical advice.
• Budget control is your main priority.
• You already have a clear idea of what you want.
• You need help understanding construction timelines and buildability.
⭐ Things to ask them:
• How do they work and communicate.
• Speak to previous clients.
• Go and visit some of their completed projects.
• Ask how they deal with extra and over costs.
• Can they help you find a designer. 

📐 If you approach an architectural service:
• Your project is complex, bespoke, or involves major structural changes.
• You're in a conservation area.
• You want to maximise space, natural light, and property value.
• Planning permission or building warrant approval may be required.
• You need expert design solutions tailored to your lifestyle.
• You want professional drawings and compliance guidance from the start.
⭐ Things to ask and consider:
• Look at their portfolio; is it completed work and does it fit your project.
• Check their reviews.
• Ask how they work and communicate.
• Ask about timescales.
• Ask how they deal with issues that might arise IE gaining approvals, onsite, errors.
• Can they help you find builders to Tender for the work. 

Ultimately, we'd encourage you to do your own due diligence but hopefully these are helpful tips to allow you to make a well-informed decision on how and who to work with.
