Home Interests Bookazine The Ultimate Guide to Extending Your Home 4th edition Edizione posteriore

If you’re thinking of extending your own home, this book is for you. We’ve spent decades writing about the different elements of home extension projects at Homebuilding & Renovating and this Ultimate Guide to Extending Your Own Home is the first time we have gathered all of our wisdom into one place.

Our guide is split into several key sections to follow the process that most homeowners face. Is an extension necessary and worthwhile? Are there other options? Where can I extend, and how much will it cost? Once I’ve decided to extend, what next? Who should I speak to? How will the project be managed? And so on.

Having been through several serious building projects, from a major extension and remodel through to a complete new self-build home, we can relate to the issues you face. Above all, homeowners often lack high quality independent expertise, relying instead on designers and builders, all of whom have vested interests in steering your project one way or the other.

Picking up this book gives you a unique opportunity to become a fully skilled-up home extender — and given the potential for your home extension to change your life, it is a small price to pay to help you navigate this often scary and confusing once-in-a-lifetime experience.
