Frequently asked questions about Room Addition

If I could rebuild my house from scratch, what would I do differently?

This is a basic thought experiment that makes you look at your house as a whole and assess how it’s serving the needs of your family. In terms of structure, what would you add? How would you reconfigure things? What is your home currently lacking? ?

There are plenty of online resources available to help you visualize your dream home. Planner 5D, for example, is an advanced online home design tool that allows you to design your dream home for free. Even an amateur rendering can help you explain your vision to your design-build team.

How long will the project take?

Home additions are considered a larger renovation project, so understandably, they take more time to plan, design, and build than kitchen renovations, bathroom renovations, or other smaller home improvement projects.

The complexity and size of your project will determine how long your home addition will take, so timelines are difficult to generalize. Typically, the planning and design process alone can take anywhere from 6 to 12 months—let alone the actual construction time, which takes roughly 3 to 4 months on average. Keep in mind that the timeline can change drastically depending on your materials, the scope of your project, and countless other factors.

It’s important to determine how long the project will take so you can plan your life well in advance. If your bathroom will be out of service for the duration of the renovation, for example, you’ll want to plan out an alternative well in advance. If your family is forced to relocate during part of—or all of—the renovation, it’s important to plan for it well in advance.

What is your estimate for the project?

When getting an estimate from your contractor, you want to make sure of two things: that all of the work you want covered is included and that their estimate fits in with your budget.

There are a few key considerations when general contractors estimate construction costs: the client’s budget, the project start time, and when they’d like to have it completed. This helps determine what materials to use, how many man hours need to be accounted for, and what techniques will be done to meet—and ideally, exceed—expectations.

Is a home addition feasible for my area?

Before you move forward you should also check with the zoning laws in your area to find out if you can add on and what restrictions you may have. Each town has its own local zoning regulations in place, and they can be complicated if you’re not familiar with the intricacies that go into keeping your project compliant.

Your best option is to work with a team of home renovation experts that will take care of the paperwork. Over the last 10 years in business, we’ve developed working relationships with permit offices and building inspectors across Nairobi, Kiambu, Machakos and Kajiado County. We take care of the local permitting process and submit all insurance and licensing certificates for you.

Where is the best place to add an addition to my home?

You’ll want to think about where your home has room to grow (out or up) and how the new addition will flow with the rest of the home.

There are a few key things to consider when you’re identifying the best location for a home addition. Be sure to identify your property lines and think about the shape and structure of your pre-addition home. You’ll also want to take note of where your utilities are located and the natural—and planned—landscaping.

What type of home addition would serve our family best?

Once you have your creative juices flowing about your project, consider what you’re hoping to achieve with your addition. Are you trying to add more space to your home? Do you want to add on a specific kind of room? What can you add to your home to better serve your family?

Some popular types of home additions are kitchens, master bedrooms, master baths, storage rooms, family rooms or great rooms, bedrooms, guest wings or mudrooms. You may also consider an unattached home addition such as a pool house, guest house, garage, barn, greenhouse or conservatory. If you’re looking to add more space to your home, consider a bump out, sunroom, or garage conversion.
