THE STARTING POINT
Why the owner
called us.
The rear working area was exposed and short on useful space. Washing and heavier cooking competed for the same small counter, and the family wanted shelter without making the back of the house feel shut in.
The brief we agreed
- Create a practical covered wet-kitchen area
- Plan the structure, roof junction and drainage together
- Keep useful openings for daylight and air movement
- Agree approvals, materials and the build sequence before work

BeforeAfter↔WHAT WE DID
The decisions behind the result.
Check the structure first
The existing house and rear working area were reviewed before the foundation and structural scope were confirmed.
Plan how rain leaves
The roof junction, rainwater route and floor drainage were considered as part of the build.
Keep the working area useful
The counter, washing points and storage were placed around daily cooking while preserving the agreed openings.
THE AGREED SCOPE
The work behind
the finished space.
- Measured layout, drawings and agreed permit coordination
- Site preparation and listed foundation work
- Agreed structural frame, walls and roof construction
- Roof junctions, rainwater goods and drainage
- Plumbing and electrical points for the wet kitchen
- Floor finishes, plaster, paint and listed counter fittings
- Final water checks, cleaning and joint handover
The quotation listed the exact materials, quantities, exclusions and payment milestones. Extra work needed written approval before proceeding.

CHECKED BEFORE HANDOVER
A careful connection
to the existing home.
Daniel checked the agreed structural details and the junction between old and new work before the finishes closed them in. Photos made those stages visible to the family.
- Agreed structural details reviewed before finishing
- Roof and wall junctions checked
- Rainwater and floor drainage routes reviewed
- Fittings and clearances tested at handover

“Daniel explained the work at the back before we agreed the quote. The daily photos helped because we could not be at home every day. The nine-week site plan was useful, and we checked the drainage and finishes together before the last payment.”Nurul
