Add an additional 5-10% to this figure for contingencies and then visit your local banks for obtaining financing. You do not want to be under funded when building a home extension. It is better to be approved for more than you need, rather than come up short and have to go back and ask for more funds later.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Again, building an extension is a major endeavor.
