What's first?

Wherever you live in Scotland the following points may help you get started with a beautiful house extension. The following are things to consider, however we at Gain A Room can do this for you! We can advise and design with all of the necessary planning and building regulations in connection with a House and Home extension for you.

What kind of room/rooms do you want to create?

Do you want to create an entirely new room? Maybe a dining room, spare lounge, home office, gymnasium or an extra bedroom. Do you want to increase the size of an existing room? A bigger kitchen or dining room? Or do you want to increase the overall size of your house and redesign the whole internal layout? Any could create an entirely different starting point...

Consider the external

Do you want the extension on the side or the rear elevations? It is possible to extend your home on the front elevation, as long as you have sufficient land, however, please consider more stringent planning rules - a representative from Gain A Room would be more than happy to help you with a free site visit.

“Double the size - don’t double the costs”

Consider whether a single storey or double storey extension will better suit your requirements. A large proportion of costs associated to house extensions are connected with the ground works, and external drainage, so increasing a proposal from single storey to double storey would not double the costs.

Blend with the existing

A good house extension should look as if it was always there! The architecture should match as close as possible to the existing building; windows, doors and any other openings within the structure should be sized and designed with this in mind. There are other planning and building regulations to also consider here.
