&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          ARA Construction recently completed a two-storey extension and full property refurbishment for a residential client in Devon. The project involved significant structural works and a full internal upgrade, transforming the existing home and substantially increasing the available living space.
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;

          The Brief
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h2&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          The client wanted to extend and modernise their property to better suit contemporary family living. The brief included creating additional floor space through a two-storey extension, improving the internal layout, and upgrading the property to meet modern building and energy-efficiency standards, while ensuring the new structure integrated seamlessly with the original building.
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;/h2&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          Our team delivered a comprehensive build programme combining structural engineering, modern construction methods, and high-quality finishes throughout. The two-storey extension was carefully designed and constructed to complement the existing property, both internally and externally.
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
           ﻿
          &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          Alongside the extension, a full refurbishment was completed, upgrading internal spaces, improving insulation and performance, and modernising key areas of the home to create a practical, comfortable, and future-proof living environment.
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          The completed project has transformed the property into a fully modernised home with significantly increased floor space and improved energy efficiency. The two-storey extension integrates seamlessly with the original structure, providing a natural flow between old and new while delivering contemporary living features and long-term durability.
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          The result is a high-quality residential extension and refurbishment that enhances both the functionality and value of the property.

          ARA Construction recently completed a full HMO refurbishment and external restoration project on a period property in Exeter, Devon. The aim of the project was to improve the building’s structural integrity, enhance weather protection, and restore key external features, while upgrading the property to meet modern performance and safety standards.
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          The client required a comprehensive refurbishment of an existing period HMO property, with a strong focus on longevity, energy efficiency, and maintaining the character of the original building. Particular care was needed to ensure all works respected the property’s heritage while delivering a durable, compliant, and practical living space.
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          Our team undertook a wide range of refurbishment and restoration works, combining traditional building techniques with modern construction methods. This included structural improvements, external repairs, and upgrades designed to protect the property from the elements while improving overall performance.
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          Careful attention was paid to restoring original features where possible, ensuring the finished result remained sympathetic to the age and character of the building, while benefiting from modern standards of workmanship and materials.
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          The completed project has brought this period HMO property back to life. The building is now structurally robust, weather-resistant, and significantly improved in terms of energy efficiency and long-term durability. Externally, the property has been carefully restored to enhance its appearance while preserving its original character.
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          The result is a high-quality refurbishment that balances heritage restoration with modern performance, providing a reliable and attractive property for the client well into the future.
         &#xD;
