What Factors Contribute to Your Cost and Timeline?
When planning a home addition project, various factors can significantly impact both the budget and timeline. Understanding how selections, size, and other considerations come into play is essential. Here's a breakdown:
-
Selections: The materials, fixtures, and finishes you choose for your addition can greatly influence the overall cost. High-end selections cost more per square foot and can be more complicated to install.
-
Size: The size of the addition directly affects the budget and timeline. Larger additions require more materials, labor, and time for construction, resulting in higher costs and longer completion periods.
-
Complexity: The complexity of the project, including plumbing and electrical work, can impact both the budget and timeline. If extensive modifications are needed to accommodate new systems, additional expenses and time will be required.
-
Existing Infrastructure: The condition and accessibility of existing infrastructure, such as plumbing, gas lines, and electrical connections, can influence the cost and duration of the project. If modifications or upgrades are necessary, the budget and timeline may be affected.
-
Permits and Regulations: Obtaining necessary permits and complying with building regulations can add time and expenses to the project. Delays in securing permits or meeting code requirements can prolong the timeline and increase costs.
What type of addition is possible? How can I add on a space and make it look like a part of my home?
If you are looking to add onto your home without going through permitting, the limitations are dependent on your county. If you are willing to go through permitting for your addition- the sky is the limit. We will work with you on the size, what can go into the area, and how to seamlessly tie it into the existing home.
