With the cost of moving being so expensive, it’s becoming more cost effective to extend your current home to create the space needed. This gives you a lot more opportunity to get everything just as you want it without the compromise of moving into somebody else’s choice of design. We’ll be happy to discuss different build options, the style aspects you’re looking for and cost implications, before giving a comprehensive, free, no obligation quote.
Things To Consider
- will you need planning permission or permitted development
- flow – how it flows with the space and layout
- compromises – some small changes can make big savings on cost
- spend money in the right places – some things are worth the extra spend, others are not
- planning – have an idea of fixtures and fittings as well as how you will furnish the space to make sure everything works with how you will use it
Preperation
- make a summary of what you expect to get out of the extra space
- size – needed for the desired use/effect
- make a list of features and ideas that you like from looking online and in magazines – maybe make a scrapbook
- style of build – contemporary look or traditional, brick or render, pitched or flat roof
- light – rooflights/atriums, windows/bifolds
- have an idea of your budget
