all blog articles

Are you looking to extend your home but don't know where to start? That's understandable; there are lots of elements to consider when selecting a home extension. Thankfully, S&D Homes Scotland is here to help! With our expertise and guidance, we can help you decide which type of extension will best suit your needs. Here are a few tips on how to choose the best home extensions.

The First Step - Assess Your Needs

Before you start researching different types of extensions, it’s important that you assess what your needs are. Consider what kind of space you want created, as well as how much room you have available for an extension. Do you need more bedrooms or bathrooms? Or maybe a combination of both? Knowing what type of space you need and how much room you have available will help narrow down your search and make it easier to decide which type of extension is right for you.

Think About Design

Once you know what type of space is needed and how much room you have available, it’s time to think about design. Depending on the size and shape of your property, certain types of extensions may be better suited than others. For example, a single-storey rear extension might work better in a terraced house than in a detached property with plenty of outdoor space. Likewise, if the existing house has plenty of character then adding an extension with similar features could blend nicely into the overall look and feel.

Choose Quality Materials

When choosing materials for your extension, quality should always be at the forefront of your mind. Make sure that all materials used are durable enough to stand up against wear and tear over time as well as any potential bad weather conditions or other external factors such as pests or dampness which could damage them over time. Additionally, investing in good quality materials can also save money in the long run by reducing maintenance costs or having to replace them sooner rather than later due to poor quality material choice originally.
