House extensions - advantages

Be prepared for an extension

If you are thinking of extending your home you must remember that it is a great way of adding not only space to your life, but also value to your house. An extension adds up on average 10-20 % of value to your house. It is not a small job so it needs to be well thought over and the appropriate budget prepared. It is a costly business so be prepared for a substantial expense.
But don't worry, it will pay back and you will improve the quality of your life.

Gather appropriate paperwork for your extension

Inevitably, you will need a planning permission and building warrant from your Council and therefore you will need to obtain appropriate drawings from your architect. Builders don't like incomplete drawings so do your best to provide them with architects drawings along with structural engineers specifications. If you manage to do this, your quotes will arrive more quickly and will be more accurate.

How we work with extensions

First stage of extension work

The extension work we underatake is architect based. We start with complete set of drawings, visit the site and discuss your expectations and ideas with you. The quote for the work you require we usually provide in 10 working days, provided that paperwork passed on by you is complete. In the quote you will find all the work broken into categories, i.e. builderwork, decorations, electrical work etc. If you decide to go ahead with us we will obviously set the date convenient for both parties and get to work on the date agreed.

Managing extension project

As we provide all trades and are the contractor, entire project is managed by Polish Home Renovations. You don't need to get involved as all will be sorted out by us with cooperation with your architect. You can virtually put your legs up and relax while waiting on completion of your extension.
