Get in contactCork’s Premier Home Extension Contractor
A growing family, a home office that’s taken over the kitchen table, or simply needing more room to live in comfortably, there are plenty of reasons Cork homeowners choose to extend rather than move. A house extension adds real value to your home without the upheaval, cost and uncertainty of selling up and starting again somewhere new. It also means everything from planning and foundations through to structural work, fit-out and finishing has to come together properly, which is why having one team manage the whole process matters. IVCG oversee house extensions in Cork from consultation through to handover, so you have a single point of contact for the entire project rather than a list of separate trades to manage yourself.
Your Home Extension, Start to Finish
Design & Planning Consultation
We work with you to plan the size, layout and purpose of your extension before any drawings or build work begin. Getting this stage right means the finished space actually suits how you live, rather than being shaped by decisions made too early in the process.
Planning Permission & Building Regulations
We advise on what does and doesn’t require planning permission for your extension, and help guide you through the regulatory side of the project. You’ll always know where things stand, rather than being left to figure out compliance on your own.
Foundations & Structural Work
Groundwork, foundations and structural build carried out to a high standard, forming the base that everything else depends on. This is the stage where getting it right matters most, and it’s not something we ever rush.
Extension Build
Brickwork, roofing and structural fit-out, bringing the new space together and tying it in seamlessly with your existing home. The aim is always a finished extension that looks like it was always meant to be there, not an obvious add-on.
Electrical & Plumbing Integration
Wiring and plumbing extended and properly connected into the new space, whether it’s a kitchen extension, an extra bedroom or a new living area. All work is carried out to a safe, code-compliant standard before anything else is fitted around it.
Finishing Touches
Plastering, flooring, painting and final fit-out work, so the new space is ready to move into. It’s this last stage that homeowners notice most, so we take the same care here as we do with the structural work underneath.
How Your House Extension Works
1. Free Consultation
Book a site visit and talk through what you want from your extension. We’ll take a proper look at the space and get a clear sense of what’s involved before anything is agreed.
2. Design & Planning
We plan the layout with you and advise on planning permission and building regulations, so you know exactly what applies to your project before work begins.
3. Quote & Approval
We put together a clear, itemised quote based on what was agreed at the consultation. No vague estimates, no surprises further down the line.
4. Foundations & Structural Build
Groundwork and structural work are carried out to bring the extension up, done properly and signed off at every stage before the next begins.
5. Fit-Out & Finishing
Electrics, plumbing, plastering and finishing work are completed, with one point of contact keeping you updated as the project moves forward.
6. Sign-Off & Handover
Final checks are carried out and we walk through the finished extension with you. We won’t hand over until everything is right.
Why Homeowners in Cork Choose IVCG
A house extension is one of the biggest projects most homeowners will ever take on, and it’s rarely just about the build itself. It’s foundations, structural work, planning permission, electrics, plumbing and finishing all needing to line up in the right order, on the right timeline, without the whole thing turning into a source of stress. That’s why homeowners across Cork choose to work with a team that manages the entire process rather than piecing it together trade by trade.
With IVCG, you’re not left trying to work out who’s responsible for what or chasing updates from three different people. One team oversees your extension from the first site visit through to the day you’re handed the keys to your new space, keeping you informed at every stage and making sure nothing falls between the cracks. It’s an approach built on being straightforward to deal with and doing the job properly the first time, which is exactly why so many homeowners across Cork come back to IVCG when it’s time for their next project, and recommend us to family and friends doing the same.
