You need more space in your home? Instead of spending huge amounts of money and wasting time searching for the perfect home, you can stay in the existing one, and even add extra space with an extension. Costs can be minimal, as you do not have to finance the construction or repair of a new home. But everything isn’t so simple.

Thanks to our many years of experience, we can offer you a service that is perfectly geared to meet all of your expectations.

1. Do you require planning permission?
According to the law, the owners must obtain planning permission from the local authorities. Permission must be obtained before the house extension begins. To do this, you need to find a good architect who will create a drawing of your extension at home.
2. Your budget
This is probably one of the most important conditions. Your house extension is entirely up to your budget. It is necessary to take into account the cost of materials and services of professional builders. You need to calculate your budget not only before construction begins, but before planning begins. After all, you can have grandiose plans for which you may not have enough money.
3. What’s the purpose of your extension?
When planning your extension, you need to determine what you will use this space for. The area for a new bathroom or children's room will be completely different than the area of living room. You need to be absolutely sure of what you want, so that house extension would be most appropriate for your intended purpose. If you change your mind, you can just lose a lot of money and time.
4. Up, down, or out to the side?
Deciding which part of the home to extend is the next big decision. First of all, it is necessary to determine where it is possible to make an extension, that is, take into account the condition of the soil, the size of the area. If your house extension on the ground is not possible, then you can extend up or down. Different extensions require a different budget.
5. Would you need to move out?
Before you start house extension, you need to check with your builders whether you need to move. This primarily depends on the type of your extension. If this is a voluminous extension, then the move is inevitable. And it can be expensive and costly.
6. Will your plan impact your neighbours?
Starting your extension you need to inform your neighbours about your plans. If neighbours have objections, for example when they are disturbed by your second floor, they can inform the municipality about it. So it’s better to get them on your side.
7. Whom to hire?
Deciding which room you need and determining your budget, you need to find good builders who will help you with planning and who will build at the highest level. Your success depends entirely on the builders.
