When to Renovate and Extend My Home

1. When to Renovate and Extend My Home? If your home is not fulfilling your evolving requirements and needs anymore, you might be wondering, “should I renovate, extend, or do both?” If this is true for you, don’t worry because you are not alone. Most homeowners feel confused when they should renovate and extend their homes. In some cases, renovation is a better option and also saves you money, while, in other cases, you might have to extend your home to meet the increasing space requirements. At Onstruction Ltd, we help homeowners renovate and extend. We will first meet you to discuss your specific requirements, changing needs, expectations, and budget. After surveying your home, we will help you determine if it is best to renovate or extend your property or if you need to do both. When Should I Renovate My Home Instead of Extending It? Most people don’t want to leave their current homes because they like the neighborhood, know the area well, and have built beautiful memories as a family in that home. We understand that feeling completely. If your home needs structural changes, doing major renovations can be expensive for you. However, when you work within the limit of the existing home layout and condition, you might have limited options because of the load-bearing walls, roof structure, and foundation. Renovation is a better option when your home doesn’t need major structural changes. So, if you cannot decide yourself whether renovation is a good choice, please contact us for expert advice.

2. An extension is a great option when you don’t have enough space for your growing family or you simply want to have additional floor space to meet your hobbies, office work, or simply to provide enough play area for your kids. Extending your home makes the best choice when you want to keep your home while ensuring that it meets your current and future needs. Whether you are planning to work from home permanently or you need a home office or you are making space for your kids, a home extension project will help you tick all the boxes. For a home extension, you might need to consider whether there are restrictions and if you need permission from the Council. In addition, you will also need to determine whether you want to build up or out. If your yard space is too small or you want the outdoor space to remain as it is, you should think about building up. However, if you have sufficient outdoor space and want to put it to better use, then building out will be a more practical choice. In general, extending upwards is a more expensive option than extending out because of the additional structural elements. Should I Build My Home from Scratch? Starting fresh is exciting but a significantly expensive option. However, it will ensure that it is exactly the home you want and need. Building new also means that you can make your home eco-friendly, energy-efficient, and attractive. At Onstruction Ltd, we offer renovation, extension, as well as new build and design services.
