There are several factors to take into account when working out how long an extension project will take to complete. These include the scope and size of the work, choice of materials and the state of repair of the proposed space to be used for the extension.

If an extension is done well, with expert craftsmanship, high-quality materials and effective, practical design, it can certainly add value to a house or commercial premises. Extensions can be used to add rooms and facilities to a home, offer expanded storage options or increase office space. All of these are attractive prospects to people looking to buy a new home or business property.

Every property is different, and will come with different challenges. You will need to call a building extension company and ask for a tailored quote for your individual property and requirements. There will also be a price difference between adding an extension to an existing home and creating a new-build property from scratch.

You will need to check with your local authority whether or not your extension will require planning permission. Rules may not be the same in different areas, plus the scope and type of work involved will need to be assessed to see if it falls under planning permission requirements or not. Your building extension company may be able to advise further or point you in the right direction to find out more.

Extensions can offer many advantages to a home or commercial premises. They provide more space, which can be used for many different purposes, adding value and flexibility to the property. They can be a cheaper and less disruptive alternative to moving house if you find yourself in need of more space for storage, office or living accommodation.

There are a number of factors to consider when deciding whether a home is suitable for an extension. These include the age and condition of the building; how large the area is and whether there is scope to extend it. A professional extension expert will be able to offer further advice on a case-by-case basis.
