What this work involves
Discuss changes in level, support structure, drainage and access underneath. Choose materials for use and maintenance.
- Timber, composite or stone
- Substructure and drainage
- House and garden junctions
Use the following design considerations when coordinating this service with a wider project. Agree which parts apply to your request.
Connect the terrace or garden transition with internal circulation.
What the drawing needs to explain
Put the kitchen, dining table, storage and garden door on the same drawing. Mark the main route without moving chairs to reveal how much clear space actually remains.
Allow for later maintenance
Keep flooring and kitchen information together where materials continue between them. Record how local repairs can connect without refinishing the entire zone.
Cost factors for this service
Costs depend on area, substructure, materials and detailing. Ask for the scope and selected specification to be described separately.
Bring this to the discussion
Photographs of the existing situation, available drawings and your requirements for terraces & decking. Identify the elements that should remain.
Questions about the work
