Putting an addition on a home is a complex process that will take time and money.
Such a project requires careful planning and consultation with an array of experts.
There are many reasons homeowners
consider adding a room to
their current homes. Some outgrow
an existing space, while others take
up new hobbies or have different needs
that were not apparent when purchasing
the home. Indeed, a room addition can
remedy a host of issues affecting a home.
Those considering adding a room may
wonder what is involved in this type of
project. According to The Spruce, no
home improvement project is more complicated
or expensive than building an
addition. The National Association of
Realtors says building an addition can
cost between $90,000 and $270,000, depending
on the size and intended purpose
of the room. An addition structurally
changes a home, which requires the work
of professionals whether homeowners
plan to build upwards or outwards.
With so much to ponder when considering
a home addition, here’s a look at what
homeowners can expect of the process.
• Design and planning: Homeowners
must determine the purpose behind the
addition and how it will integrate with
the existing home. A bedroom design
likely will be different from a garage addition
or family game room.
• Hire an engineer and contractor: An
addition changes the footprint of a home.
Homeowners will require professional
contractors and structural engineers/architects
to properly design the addition
and ensure that it will not compromise
the existing structure. Detailed architectural
plans will be drawn up considering
the layout, size and integration with the
existing structure. The home may require
a new property survey as well.
• Comply with building codes: The
project will have to meet with local
zoning regulations, building codes and
homeowners association rules.
• Timing involved: Adding a room is a
major overhaul of a space. It may require
months of a home being in upheaval. If
the renovations are particularly extensive,
homeowners may need to temporarily
move out of the space. Electrical,
plumbing and HVAC must be considered,
and drywall and fi nishing the interior
are some of the last steps to make the
room habitable.
• Demolition: Adding a room may involve
taking down walls or modifying
existing spaces, necessitating hiring a
dumpster to remove debris. This is an
added consideration and expense.
