Key Takeaway

Compare Hampshire Build's three fixed-fee extension designer packages — Pre-Build Package (£1,950), Premium Package (£2,950), and Premium Plus Package (£4,950) + VAT. Find out which is right for your project.

Hampshire Extension Designer Packages: Complete 2026 Comparison Guide

All three Hampshire Build packages are fixed fee — no hourly billing, no open-ended costs. The price you're quoted at the start is the price you pay. Here's a clear comparison of what each package delivers:

Pre-Build Package — £1,950+VAT (Most Popular)

Perfect for: Homeowners who want a complete, builder-ready drawing package at a fixed fee.

What's included:

  • On-site measured survey of your property
  • Planning drawings (plans, elevations, sections, site plan)
  • Planning application submission and council liaison
  • Building regulations drawings
  • Certified structural calculations
  • Construction detail drawings for your builder

The Pre-Build Package is the most popular choice for kitchen extensions, rear single-storey extensions, two-storey additions, and loft conversions. It gives your builder everything needed to price the work accurately and start on site.

Premium Package — £2,950+VAT

Perfect for: Homeowners who also want contractor proposals managed by their designer.

What's included:

  • Everything in the Pre-Build Package, plus:
  • Detailed schedule of works
  • Tender to two vetted contractors from our established panel
  • Comparative proposal report
  • Client building contract template with milestone payments

The Premium Package is ideal when you don't have an existing contractor relationship and want competitive, like-for-like proposals from trusted local builders — all handled for you.

Premium Plus Package — £4,950+VAT

Perfect for: Homeowners who want on-site presence throughout construction as well as complete design and contractor management.

What's included:

  • Everything in the Premium Package, plus:
  • 2 structural design revisions included
  • 2 on-site superstructure visits with written inspection reports
  • Continual remote support throughout the build

Premium Plus Package puts a designer alongside you from first sketch to practical completion — the most comprehensive fixed-fee service we offer.

Fixed Fee vs Traditional Hourly Rates

Traditional extension designers charge £80–£150 per hour with no price certainty. Our Pre-Build Package delivers the same drawing set at £1,950+VAT — a saving of £2,000+ on typical hourly-rate costs. All packages include a £250+VAT deposit to secure your appointment, with the balance due on completion of your design consultation.

Which Package Is Right for You?

Choose Pre-Build Package if: You have a trusted builder, or are confident finding one, and need a complete builder-ready drawing package at a fixed price.

Choose Premium Package if: You want us to manage the contractor tender process and handle your building contract alongside the drawings.

Choose Premium Plus Package if: You want your designer on site during construction with written reports and continual remote support throughout the build.
