Putting a price on your single storey extension plans is tricky. The price you will pay will depend on many factors such as size, your individual tastes, and how you wish to furnish your extension. An extension with a bathroom or kitchen will be far more expensive than one with just living and bedrooms. So in this article we are going to concentrate on how to plan your extension.
Single Storey Extension Plans : Design
When planning your extension, we recommend you use a team who will see through all the stages. We can put you in touch with a team that will help you design, build, and decorate your extension. Having a brief for your designer is a good idea. Your designer will tell you how to achieve the layout you want as well as how to ensure you keep a good relationship between your house and garden. If you want large sliding doors or a branded kitchen, mention these in the initial planning stage, as they will put up the overall cost considerably.
Choosing a single storey extension has its advantages. One of these is that the foundations required will be cheaper. If you think that in the future you may build a second storey however, you need to plan for this in the design stage.
Your Building Team
Bristol Builders Network can put you in touch with a reputable building team for your single storey extension plans. We can put you in touch with contractors who work locally and who are affordable. All our builders are vetted, so this is one stage of your building that you do not need to worry about.
Indoor to Outdoor Link
Your single storey extension plans will need to include a plan of how to link your indoor and outdoor spaces. If you are choosing bi-fold doors, these will ensure that you have an uninterrupted outlook to your garden space. If you are on a budget you can choose a two door model; for grander designs you could choose a configuration of up to eight door sections.
Continuous flooring is a great asset to your extension. A stone floor that works well both inside and outside is a great choice. Ensuring that you materials blend is also a must. If you ignore the need for this blend of materials, your extension will not look coherent and will look out of place.
These are just a few of the things that you need to think about when planning an extension for your home. If your extension will have a bathroom or kitchen then you will need to think about their design. You will also need to budget for furniture and decorations. You can spend a little or a lot on a single storey extension. What is more important than the actual amount you spend is the quality of the build. This is why we recommend that you allow BBN to match you with a local team of contractors. Our extensions are affordable, and more importantly, they are built to last.
