Planning Your Home Extension

Planning Your Home Extension


There are a few important steps to take into consideration when planning your home extension to ensure that you are well prepared and things go as smoothly as possible.

Firstly, you will need to plan your budget by working out the costing of your project. The most accurate way to do this is by getting plans done by a builder, as a builder will work within budget constraints.

You should also think about the design brief and what you want to achieve, and consider your extension as an integral part of your current home’s structure. A well-designed home extension is a clever investment that can increase the value of your property almost straight away, and bring high capital gains in the future.

Working with a trusted builder means you will get detailed plans that include a summary of the materials to be utilised and a fixed price contract of the overall project cost. They will also have a firm understanding of structural issues as well as any regulatory requirements that may apply, and can provide you with expert advice on how to achieve the best configuration for your extension to match your lifestyle requirements.

Like with any renovation project, always remember that there may be complications that arise during your home extension. You can avoid this as much as possible by only working with licensed, registered professionals and trades.
