Planning a home addition calls for a high degree of precision and planning. The new structure must not only add to your convenience by increasing the living spaces, but must also blend in perfectly with the flow of the house, as well as its exterior. There is nothing uglier than a room addition that juts out awkwardly, and ruins the elevation of the house. Many times, homeowners tend to increase the size of the room addition with progress of the project, trying to add as much spaces as possible to accommodate future demands. The room addition must involve constructing spaces that are sized similarly as the rest of the home, and have proper ventilation and natural light coming in. Further, your home addition project may be limited by the amount of space you have available that can be made livable.
Prior to beginning your room addition project, consider the market value currently prevailing in the neighborhood, your financing plans for your home addition, the size and scale of the addition, as well as overall cost. Ask your addition contractor for a written estimate of the cost as well as the completion date, and discuss with him the best ways to avoid disruption of your life while the addition construction is going on. Create an architectural plan that integrates the new living spaces into your existing structure seamlessly. Have a defined purpose for the room, so you can make plans for add-ons like an attached bath or a small terrace, if necessary.
Your contract should also mention the small details that many home owners forget to consider while hiring an addition contractor. Since you will most likely be living in the same property while the addition construction is going on, make arrangements for distractions to be kept to the bare minimum. Have the worker's timings down in writing, so you can get important work done before they arrive. Also, specify how your room addition contractor plans to dispose of construction debris.
