Planning a House Extension

So, you're thinking about planning a house extension. That's a big project! But don't worry, we're here to help. In this blog post, we'll give you all the tips and tricks you need to know to get started.

First things first, you need to determine what kind of extension you want. Do you want to add an extra room? Extend the kitchen? Convert the attic? Once you know what you want, you need to start thinking about budget. How much can you afford to spend on this project? You should also consider how long you want the project to take. Are you willing to live in a construction zone for a few months?

Once you've answered these questions, you can start planning your project. Here are a few things you'll need to do:

1) Get drawings done- You'll need detailed plans of your proposed extension before you can apply for planning permission or get quotes from builders. An architect or building designer can help with this.

2) Apply for planning permission- This is a legal requirement if you're planning any structural changes to your home. The application process can be long and complicated, so make sure you allow plenty of time for it.

3) Get quotes from builders- Once you have your plans, you can start getting quotes from builders. It's important to get at least 3 quotes so that you can compare prices and services.

4) Choose a builder- Once you've received your quotes, it's time to choose a builder. Be sure to ask them plenty of questions and read reviews before making your decision.

5) Start building!- Now it's time for the fun part: starting construction on your new extension! Remember to be patient, as even the best-planned projects can run into delays.
