There are a lot of variables to take into account when planning a home addition, but if you and your family have begun to outgrow your home, taking on this kind of project could save you money and eliminate the hassle of having to move to a bigger home. But what size should your home addition be? To help you answer that question, here is a brief guide to building the ideally sized home addition:
Is bigger always better? Taking on a big home addition project isn’t necessarily going to give you any more advantages than a smaller one, although of course this will depend upon your specific needs. Some smart home additions can give a lot more livable space thanks to strategically placed walls, and don’t forget that the more space you give yourself, the more it will cost you to furnish and decorate. How will your addition fit with the current design of your home? The size and scale of a home addition is in many cases, entirely dependent on the existing structure of the home, and how it has been designed, and is an important factor many homeowners overlook.
How will the addition blend in with other homes in the neighborhood? A monstrosity of a home addition that towers over other houses, or simply stands out too much, can cause numerous problems and conflicts with neighbors, and if you have a homeowner’s association to answer to, you might have to adhere to strict rules that limit the scale of your project. There may even be specific building codes you need to respect and follow. To find out about this before you begin planning a home addition, talk to an experienced construction company who take on addition projects.
What is your budget? The size and flexibility of your budget will play a significant role in determining how big you go with a home addition, and only a detailed discussion with a construction company can help you get a better idea of what costs will be involved, and how much you can afford to pay for. Extra space, extra responsibility; are you ready for that? Naturally, the more space you create in your home, the more it will cost you to heat and cool it, not to mention paying more in taxes and spending more time cleaning it, too!
A home addition is the perfect solution for many families seeking more space in their home, but not wanting to move – or being unable to move – to another location. To make sure you get your home addition just right, including its size, be sure to have detailed conversations with both your chosen construction company, and anyone who will be living in the home with you for the foreseeable future.
