 Home Remodeling Zoning Requirements
Insure the proposed addition or new construction you desire falls within the required set backs according to zoning requirements. Most zoning boards only allow buildings to be a predetermined distance from property lines and/or height restrictions. Also check with your local building officials as to the total square feet of building coverage allowable on your lot.
Home Remodeling Conditions and Considerations
Plan any new bathrooms near an existing bath to cut down on plumbing expenses. Will you need to update the main electrical service? Does the main water line need to be increased to provide more water output? What is the location and condition of existing sewer lines?
Remodeling and Home Addition Flow & Access Considerations
It is important to design an addition which coincides with the rest of the home's floor layout. You will want to make rooms accessible and not out of the way. Bedrooms should be at the quieter part of the home. Bathrooms tend to be at the back or sides of the home, kitchens generally at the front. Today's home designs are more open and airy. Kitchens that open out into the family room give those working in the kitchen the opportunity to mingle with dinner guests, or the rest of the family as they prepare meals. If you are adding a master bedroom, make it a sanctuary with a large walk-in closet and a bathroom that's right out of a Calgon soap commercial. The bedroom should be spacious enough for a king size bed, with two options for placement. If you can, incorporate a sitting area. Next to a vacation, this part of the house should be where you can get away from it all and recharge those batteries!
Living Arrangements During Home Remodeling Construction
You may want to seek the advice of the building contractor to tell you what part of the house you can use while construction is in progress, especially a second story addition over an existing part of the home. This can affect the first floor in many ways. Although, some owners will take up residence elsewhere during the crucial part of the work, this can be costly and should be factored into the initial planning stages. Adding on to your home can be exciting and even fun. However, we're talking about construction here and it can be noisy, dusty and put a serious crimp in your lifestyle for three to six months. |
