How our design process works
The hup! by Fortress design process begins with a free initial consultation at your Chester or Cheshire property. We assess your site, discuss your brief and explain the planning options relevant to your home, giving you a solid foundation on which to develop your design.
From there, we develop outline proposals that explore the layout, dimensions and structural configuration of your proposed extension, working iteratively until the design reflects precisely what you are looking for.
We serve homeowners across Saltney, Ellesmere Port, Northwich and Neston through this process, as well as those further afield in Wrexham, Mold and across North Wales.
Choosing your finishes and glazing
One of the most enjoyable parts of the hup! design process is selecting the external finishes and glazing configurations that will define the look of your extension. Fortress guides you through the full range of options available within the hup! system.
From render and brick slip wall finishes to frameless aluminium glazing and bifold door configurations, each choice is considered in the context of your existing property, your neighbourhood and any planning constraints that apply in your area.
For homeowners in Tarporley, Tattenhall, Frodsham and the historic villages of Cheshire, we understand how to balance contemporary extension design with the character of the local built environment.
From design to build: the hup! by Fortress journey
Once your design is finalised and consents secured, the hup! by Fortress build process moves with a speed that consistently surprises our clients. Panel manufacture begins once the design is locked, and on-site works proceed with the precision the hup! system is known for.
From initial consultation to handover, we manage every stage of your Chester or Cheshire extension project with clarity and professionalism, keeping you informed and in control throughout.
