Why Sketchpad Is the Smart Choice for Your Home Extension

At Sketchpad, we believe exceptional extensions begin with a clear sketch. Every client brings unique ideas and our tailored architectural drawing process ensures those ideas become a beautiful, buildable reality. A true family business owned and run with pride and passion by Dan & Teresa backed up by fantastic team of designers, planners and engineers.

✏️ Expert Architectural Sketches

Each project starts with a bespoke design sketch that captures your vision from layout and flow to light and aesthetic. These early drawings help you visualise the extension before planning or building begins.

✅ Save Time, Avoid Delays

Our process includes planning‑friendly designs, so you avoid re‑draws or costly redesigns that can delay planning approvals. See our extension design service examples here on our Services page.

💡 Design That Adds Value

A well-designed extension isn’t just extra space it’s a long-term investment that enhances functionality, comfort, and property value. Our sketches aim for both beauty and practicality.
