Project Solution

A limited window in the holiday renting period was identified in order to re-roof the entire building and to create a further double bedroom and bathroom ahead of the upcoming season.

Plans for conversion were drafted and agreed with locally based Trades people. Some co-ordination of works was handled remotely but interim and final site visits ensured everything remained on track and a high quality of finish was achieved.

Project Scope

ASKARI managed the process, liaising with French based suppliers.

Summary

  • Size – 4,000 ft2 of new roofing and 500 ft2 of successfully converted new residential accommodation created from previously unused attic space
  • Budget – £50,000
  • Timescale – 4 month re-roof and eight week attic conversion ahead of 2015 season

Project Result

  • Improved rental income from holiday house
