An extension is something that can improve your home and how you use it – but if you are planning one it is important to put a lot of thought into it. These are some of the things to consider…
Design – An extension needs to be well suited to your home and to your lifestyle – work with a good architect and have a good idea of what you want to gain from your extension when you are planning it. It is all well and good having a larger property, but it needs to work well for you and you need to make sure you are going to benefit from your investment.
Budget – Before you begin, you need to get a good idea of what your budget is as well as what your costs are. This will help you to ensure that you do not end up running into financial problems so do plenty of research and get quotes so that you have a good idea of what it is likely to cost. You can also get professional financial advice.
Skills – You will need skilled people to design and build your extension. From a professional architect to builders like this mogfordprescott.co.uk/builders-bristol (you can search in your local area online such as building companies Bristol for example) as well as electricians and plumbers. It is important to do plenty of research when you are finding the right people for the job, and don’t just go with the lowest price.
Time – The amount of time it is going to take is also something to get an idea of in advance. It can be disruptive having work done on your home, so getting a good idea of the timeline is important.
