Choosing Home Extension Builders
Cramped homes can cause stress for everyone and it is always nice to have somewhere cosy to relax when the day gets too much. Adding a Ace Home Extensions is a great way to provide additional living space and also to help to create an individual interior that reflects your own style.
What is the cheapest way to build an extension?
A good house extension is likely to add significant value to your property, but only if it is well designed and expertly constructed. If the build process is a mess, with poor workmanship, your home will suffer and its value may only increase modestly.
Choosing the right contractor for your extension project is crucial. Recommendations from friends or neighbours, and trade bodies such as the Federation of Master Builders can be very helpful, but the best way to judge a firm is to see their work first-hand. Ask to visit projects they have recently completed and speak to the clients who worked with them.
It is also worth checking that the contractors have full insurance cover, including public liability cover. Ideally, you should obtain quotes from three different firms so that you can compare like for-like. You can avoid confusion by providing prospective contractors with detailed architectural drawings or quantity surveyors’ plans, as this helps to ensure that all costs are included in the final quote. You should also make sure that your quotes include value-added tax (VAT).
