House Addition In this section, other aspects of project planning will be addressed. Including additional room add-on considerations, ways to cut room adding cost, eco-friendly and green house construction (for the Canada environmental homeowner concerned with our ecosystem), and selecting the right contractor for the job. Other House Addition Idea Considerations Besides those already mentioned in part 1, do the following: * Think about your households daily routine when making home addition plans. Consider the floor plan and indoor traffic pattern; be sure to make provision for ample seating. * Plan ahead as to where furniture and other room elements will be located in the room, for accurate placement of electrical outlets. * Confer with an appraiser or real estate agent before formulating plans to ensure your house addition idea will maximize your home market value. Note: the type house building addition remodel most likely to bring the highest return on investment are the kitchen and bathroom. * In older neighborhoods where houses are closer tighter together and yard space is small, building up instead of out might be your best option. * More extensive add-ons may require the services of an architect designer in addition to that of a building contractor. * Three of the most important elements to include in a home construction contract include a clear, concise written agreement signed by all parties involved, blueprints and/or working drawings, and a building material list. * Plan ahead for delivery of materials. If houses are built tightly together, space surrounding house limited, and obstructions such as trees exist, it may be necessary for building materials to be delivered in small loads as they are required. 1.
