How to get started building an extension
It will be exciting to build an addition to your home. You’ll enjoy exploring the various extensions available and may have already found the motivation you need to get started. Simultaneously, you’ll want to know if your proposed design is compliant. Will it meet the requirements for planning permission and existing building regulations?
What is involved with building regulations for home extensions
When building an extension, you will usually need to obtain Building Regulations approval. There are a few exceptions to this rule, which your authorised installer will be able to inform you of.
The following areas will be scrutinised if you build an extension:
- Bathroom & Kitchens
- Windows & Doors
- Interior Walls
- Any electrics
- Drainge
- Roofs
If structural openings are excluded, your construction will only be as a house extension. If you use doors to separate your room from your home, it may fall under a different category.
