Start by walking the streets and alleyways of your neighbourhood and seeing what other people have done. Then you want an architect or architectural technician to advise you of what can be done and guide you through the planning process. A good builder should be more than able to manage the construction of the extension. Your architect may disagree with this and offer to manage it for you. I can't think why........
