Extensions
A well-designed extension should feel like it was always part of the house. At CJE Build, we deliver single and double-storey residential extensions that expand your living space without compromising the character of your home.
We manage the full process, from structural design coordination and planning approval through to construction and internal finishing. Our attention to detail means the join between old and new is seamless: matched materials, careful coursing, and a level of finish that reflects the quality of everything else we build.
We have extensive experience working in Hertfordshire's varied planning contexts, including conservation areas and the curtilage of listed buildings, where sensitivity and expertise are as important as technical ability.

New Builds
Building a new home from the ground up is one of the most significant projects you'll ever undertake. CJE Build brings the experience, the team, and the discipline to deliver it to the standard it deserves, on time, on budget, and exactly as specified.
We work alongside your architect throughout, or can recommend trusted design partners to develop a scheme that meets your brief and secures planning consent. From foundation to ridge, we maintain rigorous quality control at every stage, because when you're building a bespoke home, a high-specification finish is non-negotiable.

Loft Conversions
The space is already there; it just needs the right team to unlock it. A CJE Build loft conversion is structurally sound, beautifully finished, and planned to extract maximum value from every square metre of your roof.
We manage the structural engineering, planning (permitted development or full application), building regulations sign-off, and all internal works from insulation to joinery. The result is a room (or rooms) that feel like a proper part of your home, not a bolted-on afterthought.
Types we build
- DormerThe most popular choice, maximising headroom and floor area.
- Hip-to-GableIdeal for detached and semi-detached properties.
- MansardLarger conversions with a near-vertical rear face.
- VeluxA cost-effective option where headroom already exists.
Internal Remodelling
Sometimes the most transformative thing you can do to a home is rethink what's already there. Internal remodelling (opening up a ground floor, reconfiguring a dated layout, or merging a series of small rooms into a single, light-filled space) is one of the highest-impact investments you can make.
CJE Build manages the structural and practical complexity of this work: removing load-bearing walls, relocating services, upgrading heating and electrical systems, and finishing to the same meticulous standard we bring to every project.
The result is a home that feels entirely new, without the cost or disruption of moving.
