Home Extension & Renovation FAQs
  • Do I need planning permission for a home extension?

    Not always. Many smaller extensions fall under permitted development rights, meaning you can often build without full planning permission. We’ll advise you based on your property and local regulations.

  • How long does a typical home extension take?

    Most extensions take between 8–16 weeks, depending on the size and complexity of the project. Full renovations or multiple-storey builds may take longer, but we’ll always provide a clear schedule upfront.

  • Can I live in my home during the renovation?

    In most cases, yes. Our team works efficiently and respectfully to minimise disruption — keeping your home as liveable as possible during the process.

  • Will an extension or renovation add value to my home?

    Almost always. A well-planned extension or modern renovation can significantly boost your property’s value while improving your day-to-day comfort and usability.

  • Do you handle all design and building work in-house?

    Yes - ARA Construction manages every stage of your project, from design and planning through to construction and finishing touches, ensuring consistency and quality throughout.

  • Which areas do you cover?

    We’re based in Exeter and work across Bristol, Devon, and the South West, including Exmouth, Torquay, Taunton and surrounding areas.
