About Plan-It

Making Home Extensions Easy Since 1982

We know that for most people, extending a home is a once-in-a-lifetime journey. It can feel daunting, but it doesn't have to be. At Plan-It-Design, we’ve spent over 40 years perfecting a process that takes the stress out of architectural changes.

Whether you are looking to add a bedroom, convert your loft, or create a modern open-plan kitchen, we guide you through every step. Our strength lies in our longevity and our commitment to helping you navigate the complexities of construction while you continue to live in your home.

Why West Lothian Families Choose Us

We aren't just designers; we are your partners in transformation. Because we operate alongside our sister company, Build-It, we offer a unique perspective that bridges the gap between architectural vision and practical construction.

  • Longevity: We have been serving Edinburgh and West Lothian for over four decades.
  • Local Expertise: We have an intimate understanding of local authority planning and building warrant requirements.
  • Education First: We even host "Home Extension Seminars" to empower homeowners with the knowledge they need before they break ground.

From Feasibility to Completion

We offer a comprehensive suite of services designed to take your project from a "what if" to a "welcome home."

  1. Feasibility Reports: We provide floor plans, elevations, and indicative building costs so you know exactly what is possible before you commit.
  2. Design & Permissions: We handle all sketch proposals, planning permission drawings, and building warrant applications, negotiating with the District Council on your behalf.
  3. Project Management: We can oversee the entire build, ensuring the technical details—from foundations to insulation—meet every regulation.

Small Changes, Big Impact

While we specialise in large-scale extensions and conversions, we are just as happy to help with the smaller details that make a house a home. From replacing windows with patio doors to garden walling, decking, and insurance works, we bring the same level of professional rigour to every job.
