Good for you, but be forewarned. Building a home addition is certainly a great way to add living space to your home and it can also increase the value of it, however building an addition takes a great deal of work and effort. It is not a project for the faint of heart, and nor is it for the person who deals poorly with disruption and change.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Over the years I have built many additions, as well as acted as my own general contractor on a few of them.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">From my personal experience the two most critical items in building an addition are project planning and hiring the right contractors. The bottom line, if you neglect to do your upfront homework in fully specifying your home addition or you don\u2019t fully vet out prospective home remodeling contractors you will pay in time, money and headaches.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Planning an Addition<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">When planning the construction of your home addition, realize that you are effectively building a small home, but with the extra complication of having to attach it to your existing one.<\/span><br \/>\n<script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- 468x60_below_Author_Name --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 468px; height: 60px;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3988490936633155\" data-ad-slot=\"5936342260\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"50%\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">There are literally hundreds if not thousands of decisions that you will need to make during the planning stages.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">One of the key secrets of building an addition is to leave nothing to chance or for a later date to figure out. Plan out every feature in the home addition, including its physical location relative to the rest of the house, all the materials to be used in its construction, and every subcontractor required for the project.<\/span><\/td>\n<td width=\"3%\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"47%\"><a href=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/home_addition_bid_sheets\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-381 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Home_Addition_Bid_Sheets_Ad_250x250.jpg\" alt=\"Home Addition Bid Sheets\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Home_Addition_Bid_Sheets_Ad_250x250.jpg 250w, https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Home_Addition_Bid_Sheets_Ad_250x250-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Also make sure to check with the local building inspector and zoning board to make sure you meet all the zoning and building code requirements for your addition.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">You may also want to meet with an architect to develop your home addition plans.

Then they need to be backfilled after adequately curing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Once the footings and foundation walls\/slab floor have been poured and have had time to cure, the actual framing of the addition can begin. First the walls, followed by the roof, are framed in and sheathed. The roof is then shingled and the doors and windows are installed. An inspection by the local building inspector is usually necessary at this point.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">After the addition has been buttoned up from the weather, the plumbing and electrical trades can then begin to do their work in earnest by roughing in the plumbing and electrical. Once they are complete, another inspection is typically required.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">After the successful inspection of the rough plumbing and wiring, insulation can then be installed. Again, another inspection may be necessary after insulating the addition, depending upon local building code requirements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Once the insulation has been installed, the drywalling, taping and mudding phases of building an addition can begin. Upon their completion, typically the walls are immediately painted. Then the electrician and plumber can come back in to begin their tasks of finishing the electric and plumbing. In addition, finished carpenters can then install interior doors, and window and baseboard trim. Tile flooring can also go in at this stage. Likewise, kitchen and\/or bathroom cabinetry can also be installed at this point.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">From there, any additional flooring can be installed (e.g. carpeting) and the final finishing touches to bathrooms (e.g. hanging of shower doors and mirrors, etc) can be completed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">With the finishing touches complete, all that is left to do is to call in the building inspector for the final inspection of your newly built addition. Upon the successful inspection and final payment disbursement made to the contractors, you\u2019re ready to move into your newly built addition.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><b>For more help on building a home addition<\/b><\/span>, see HomeAdditionPlus.com&#8217;s<b> <a href=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/home_addition_bid_sheets\/\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Home Addition Bid Sheets<\/span><\/a><span lang=\"EN\">. <\/span><\/b>Our\u00a0<b><a href=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/home_addition_bid_sheets\/\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Home Addition Bid Sheets<\/span><\/a> <\/b>provide you with the knowledge and information on how to plan a home building project, and what to look for when hiring contractors.
