Get your neighbours buy-in - Putting up a huge home extension without their knowledge is bound to upset your local residents, so get them involved early, let them have their say and make a few compromises where reasonable. However make sure you still get what you want without disputes cropping up. Aim for a usable but inspiring design - Don't go for a cheap and boring scheme, but equally, make sure you don't chose an extravagant design that just hikes up the cost for no real benefit. Check that the value-add to your property is economical - Make sure the scale of your project fits the type of home you have. There's no point in spending £20,000 on a building scheme that will only add £5,000 to the value of your home.

Choosing a Builder - Getting references for similar types of building work is crucial, but it's also a good idea to go with your gut feel about a builder. It's important that you get on with them - afterall you'll be seeing a lot of them over the coming weeks. Also check that the builder has appropriate insurance - things can and do go wrong. Don't underestimate self completion costs or time - a builder will work more quickly and efficiently than you can, especially if you only have weekends or evenings to spare - don't leave yourself a huge finishing off job to do that will seem to take forever and spoil the project. Buy cost effectively - Your builder may want you to buy most of the raw materials through him and profit from, or share, in any trade discounts he has in place. It's best to agree how this should work beforehand. |
