Sustainability was a core focus, and the extension was constructed with a highly insulated timber frame, shallow foundations, and no steelwork, significantly reducing the project’s embodied carbon. KPK Builders implemented these eco-conscious elements with precision, ensuring both environmental and structural excellence
