With house prices increasing over the last few years, more and more people are looking at ways in which they can extend their existing homes. There are a number of different ways that you can achieve this. Before you set off on building your extension you should work with a Residential Architects London way such as www.rbddesign.com to ensure that your plans are feasible with your current home. This may include looking at the current state of your foundations and what planning restrictions and permissions may be needed.

There are essentially two types of extensions and these include:

Single storey – this is where you have an extension built to the bottom floor of your home. This can be a conservatory that you have built in your garden or it could be a larger build that covers the entire ground floor space on one side, or the back of your home. Most of these styles of extension will create brand new rooms for you to use.

Double storey – this is where you have an extension built to cover the entire two storeys of your home. This will include either building to the side or the back of the building. In most cases this will usually extend the space that you have available in your rooms. In some cases this type of extension can create whole new spaces that can be used.
