Challenges for Doing a House Extension

Challenges for Doing a House Extension

Many family homes have ample room when you first move in but don’t have enough extra room to grow as your lives change. Moving is the first thing that springs to mind but that is a real hassle and is expensive. With this in mind, choosing to have a home extension built is the best idea. This gives you the extra space you require but is less expensive than moving and can stay where you are.

One must keep in mind that building house extension can also be quite laborious and financially expensive work, the cost of any poor decision has to be borne by the rest of the life span of the building. Therefore, one must consider these most common challenges while building a house extension.

1. The finished result is a disappointment – Many people start their extension project with one result in mind but then end up with something that is not quite the same.
2. Going over budget – If you hit an unforeseen snag when building work starts, then it can impact the financial side of the build.
3. Damp in the new extension – This issue is a potential health risk to those who use the new space and will also cause considerable damage to your extension.
4. Poor levels of natural light – Depending on where in your home the extension is located, you could find your new space a little on the dark side.

The leading cause of the above-mentioned issues is either use of poor construction details or lack of site coordination/project management.

The solution to handle all these challenges during house extension is to use the service of a qualified project manager. However hiring a qualified project manager can be very expensive, may not be feasible for small to medium projects and may still lack overall control of the project.

The best choice is to go for the reputable Design & Build Contractor. As they will:

1. Use best construction details within the design which are easily executable on site – means better design quality.
2. To protect their warranties they source all materials from reputable brands – means better quality material.
3. Offer a tried and tested reporting and coordination mechanism for all sub-contractor – means on-time delivery.
4. Offer fix price during the construction phase – means project on budget.
