Making the decision to start building your new house extension is a big one for you and your home. I am a house builder, so I know a thing or two about building a new house extension. One of the main things you need to remember before you start building a house extension is to really do your research on the builder that you choose to get a quote of. Make sure that the company hold all the recognised accreditations as you do not want to get “ripped” off by some cowboy builder - there are a lot of them out there believe me I know! I really believe that you should shop around before you start building. I recommend that you get at least five quotes to compare before you make your choice, this way you can compare the prices and the services that will be included. You might get more from one builder than you will from another. There is a lot involved in starting to build a house extension. People forget to think of the amount of time that is involved in the planning and building process. Patience is definitely necessary when undertaking a home improvement project. There is so much to think about. You need to include the price of PVC windows and doors, possible new kitchen, new bathroom suite, electrics, plumbing, plastering, carpeting or tiling, fixtures and fittings and of course not to forget the painting and decorating work. Some builder firms will offer all these services but this is unlikely. They will probably get you in touch with the necessary tradesmen that they work along side and they usually have great contact. I still think you should get second quote of other tradesmen as saving money wherever possible is important. It is very tempting to get carried away when building your extension, but you really need to remember to try to stay inside your budget as much as you can, it can be quite a shock when you learn that you have gone over budget, believe me I have seen the look of shock on my customers faces when they have noticed that they have gone over the budget, and they always try to blame us - the builders. So before you start building your new house extension remember to shop around for your prices on the building and any fixtures and fittings that you choose. There is so much choice on kitchens and bathrooms out there, and one place is always trying to beat another for the best price. Also don’t forget to get the necessary planning permission from the local council, this may take time and be a little costly but it is a must as there is nothing worse than being told to take the extension back down after spending all that time and money on it. Most of all enjoy the building project and remember the value that it could add to your property one day!
