Multiple Storey Extensions Essex

Multiple storey extensions enable you to design the living or work space you want, without compromising your garden. Extending existing premises may prove cheaper and less stressful than buying a new property and moving. Additionally, Essex multiple storey extensions don't require a large land area to be effective especially in urbanised areas where space is at a premium.

Reasons People Consider Multiple Story Extensions: A multiple story extension may consist of a room added above the first floor of your home, but it may also be an extension that consists of two or more rooms with one new room on each level. Multiple story extensions are great choices for people who need to expand their living space, but who have run out of yard room and must expand upward instead of outward. In fact, these extensions can easily convert a single-story home into a multiple-story home. Before getting started, it's important to find out whether you can get a permit to do so. Some locations and neighbourhoods will not allow it.

The Best Option for Limited Property Space: If you've outgrown your home, but you don't have room on your property to add an extra room, you may consider selling your home and moving. However, it may be possible to expand your living space with a multiple storey extension. A contractor will come to your home to inspect your home's ability to bear the weight of a second (or third) storey, then present you with design ideas based on your unique needs. In this manner, you can add more square metres to your living area without building outward into your property.

Residential Extensions: Multiple storey residential extensions are a great consideration if your property is small. You can have that extra bedroom or children's play room without having to build in the garden. Some homes may require special building permissions in order to build multiple storeys. Some homes may also require additional structural reinforcing or foundation treatments to support additional floors. For this reason, always consult the professionals prior to starting any type of construction.

Commercial Extensions: The purpose of the extension will influence the type of construction. Do you need offices above your retail shop? Do want a second storey storage facility or an additional showroom? Multiple storey extensions may prove more affordable for commercial properties where ground space is limited and very expensive. Always consult with local authorities regarding building permissions and professional architects for structural requirements before starting any building projects.

Professional Extensions: DIY extensions of any kind should not be attempted. An existing building will require certain structural properties in order to support additional floors. Only professionals with specialised knowledge should be allowed to design and execute multiple storey extensions as these extensions could prove extremely dangerous if handled improperly. The professionals will also assist you in acquiring the necessary paperwork prior to starting construction.

Premises Design: It's important to understand that not all buildings can support multiple storeys without some additional engineering. Roof type may also affect the ease with which multiple storey extensions are carried out. All extension plans should be done by a professional architect to ensure a seamless addition to the existing structure so that the extension doesn't look like gaudy add-on. Foundation and other structural reinforcing may be required before extension construction can begin.

From a Single Storey to Multiple Stories: These days, it isn't uncommon for builders to add multiple rooms onto a single storey home, effectively turning it into a multiple storey home. For example, if you currently own a bungalow, you could add an entire level to your home, complete with two bedrooms and a shared bath. Once again, this will depend on your home's ability to support the extra weight as well as building regulations in your area. Such a project is a large endeavour, too, so it will likely take quite a bit of time to complete. Regardless, it is possible, and it can completely transform a home.

Extension Costs: The cost of multiple storey extensions Essex depends on the scale of the project. The larger the extension and the more complex the process, the more expensive it is likely to be. The costs of materials, the quality of the ground and foundations all have an impact on final pricing. Additional services such as the installation of new electrical and plumbing systems, added insulation or the installation of new heating/cooling and ventilation systems will also affect the price.
