8 Questions To Ask When Designing Extensions
Home extensions can be ideal for those looking to add some extra space to their home, as well as adding value to a property. But it can be a stressful time for a homeowner, especially if they have no previous experience of this type of project. However, things can be made a lot more straightforward, if they only knew the right questions to ask their chosen contractor at the outset.
If you want your extension to go as smoothly as possible, you simply must know the answers to the following questions;
1. Who will manage my project?
A great project manager is an essential part of any successful extension. If you’re offered someone with inadequate experience, or no-one at all, it could be a major risk. You’re going to be dealing with this person a lot so make sure you feel comfortable with them.
2. Will the designer complete the building work or do I have to source my own builder?
A common misconception is that the company you choose to design your extension will also be the company that manufactures, builds and finishes it. Many design companies will do just that: design. As a result, this can often mean that the homeowner has to source their own builders and electricians. This is one of the most important questions to ask at the project outset as it can obviously take a lot of time and effort to find a builder you can trust. If the company doesn’t complete any building work, it is worth asking if they have recommended builders who they are used to dealing with and also whether previous customers are happy to provide a testimony of their work.
