expand. There may be some cases where land is 9-6 WEEKENDS
available adjacent to the existing building so one might start the
foundation here. Building on an existing home does not involve
cost of a foundation which is quite significant. We would ask you
to consider these variables before making your final decision:
• Does the present foundation support an additional story?
• For reinforcing the existing foundation to build up an additional
story, find out the cost and compare the same with that of a new
foundation in case you wish to expand out.
• Check with your local municipal or other applicable building
regulations about the height restrictions in case you wish to add
an additional story.
• If you build up, you may have to add bracing to the existing
house’s walls, which means removing part or all of the siding or
interior sheetrock.
• Expanding out into the adjacent space close to the existing
building means reducing your yard space.
• Check out if there is additional space to store/stack the building
materials - cement, aggregates, sand, steel, bricks. Also, during
concreting operations, how easily can you transport or place
concrete.
• In case of home extension, get your plans approved from
appropriate authorities.
