Types of home additions

Building Up

When you add vertically to your home with an addition, you are increasing the size of your home. Adding a floor to a house usually entails taking off the current roof, building a second storey from the ground up, and then installing a new roof.

Building Out

Building out is the same as building up, but you add living space to the back instead of the front. This is accomplished by extending the back of your current home into the backyard or to the side of the property. You will need to create a new foundation or slab to support the addition throughout this phase.

Building a Detached Unit

Most of the time, this is a garage or a guest house. Adding a garage to your home provides additional parking space as well as more storage space, freeing up room inside your home. If you do not need the extra space, you can convert the garage into a laneway apartment that you can rent out, use as a music studio, workshop, or office.

Permits for a home addition.

It is time to apply for your home extension permit when the architect and engineer have both authorized and stamped the designs. The contractor you employ should oversee ensuring that this is done, and the cost of doing so should be factored into the overall project cost. Ensure that this is discussed when you are first negotiating with a contractor. It's crucial to know that depending on whatever city you live in. There are varying zoning bylaws and standards for building a house addition. These ordinances specify which constructions are permitted to be made and where they may be placed. All of this should be handled by the architect/engineer team your contractor assembles. Following the approval and receipt of permits, the construction of your home addition will proceed in the same manner as any other home improvement project.

Conclusion

Building an addition is a complex procedure requiring a great deal of coordination and cooperation among the architect, engineer, contractor, suppliers, and trades. It is vital to keep in mind that this process should never be rushed. According to our experience, there must be a specific flow for running things well from beginning to end.
