INSPIRATION
At East Anglia Construction, we offer a bespoke service that ensures we are able to maximise the space in your home extension by offering a more cost-effective and efficient product than what is currently on the market.
The latest data provided by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) shows that timber is now more than 64% more expensive than it was at the start of 2021. In October alone, the price of some imported timber has jumped up over 23%! Therefore, using our cold rolled steel FRAMECAD system, we are able to construct our buildings in less time, at a reduced cost and with better building performance.
Home extensions are an increasingly popular method for adding more space to your home. With the recent increase in mortgage rates, they are a perfect option if you are fast running out of space in your current home but don’t have the budget to upsize. Some other benefits are:
- They can be designed to blend in with the rest of your home
- They can increase your current property value by up to 15%
In particular for light gauge steel (otherwise known as LGS) home extensions and unlike traditional extensions which are built on site, the structure of the extension is manufactured and panelised off site in a controlled factory environment for ease of assembly and less disruption on site. This also means that light gauge steel home extensions are quicker to build which in turn is more cost-effective for you as this decreases labour times quite substantially!
EXTENSIONS FOR MORE SPACE
Home extensions for additional space include rear, side, and wrap-around extensions for ground-level expansion. The best option depends on your property's layout, budget, and your specific needs for more bedrooms, living areas, or a larger kitchen.
- Rear extensions: Extend the back of the house, ideal for creating larger kitchens or living areas and enhancing the connection to the garden.
- Side extensions: Build onto the side of the property, using available space to create extra rooms, a utility room, or a more spacious layout.
- Wrap-around extensions: Combine a rear and side extension to create an L-shaped space, maximizing ground-floor area and offering the most flexibility.
EXTENSIONS FOR EXTRA BEDROOMS
Family circumstances are always changing. Whether you have an elderly relative moving in, or a new baby on the way, then extra bedroom space may be what you need. There are various ways in which you can add a bedroom including; rear extensions, side extensions, or even 2-storey extensions.
Bedroom extensions can come complete with en-suites if it's what you require, to give family members more privacy. We can design your bedroom extension in a specific way to make sure you have all the space you require for furniture, toys or storage.
EXTENSIONS FOR KITCHEN SPACE
The most popular reason for a rear extension is to increase the kitchen and dining space in your home. Whether it's to increase the size of your current kitchen, add extra space for dining, or to completely re-design your kitchen with brand new units and appliances, we can work with you to come up with the ideal design.
The kitchen is the heart of the home, so having a space you love to spend time in with family and friends is very important to most, and we appreciate that. Large glazed areas and even sky lights are a common way to increase the light coming into the space, and connecting with your garden.
EXTENSIONS FOR GYMS
Lots of us crave more time to exercise, but finding the motivation to drag yourself to the gym after a long day at work can feel a near-impossible task. A home gym in your brand new extension could be an ideal solution while keeping you fit and healthy all year round.
Not only would it allow you to work out in the privacy of your own home, nor would you have to wait for a machine to become available. You’ll never have an excuse not to work out again if your training space is literally on your doorstep.
Creating an office space is one of the most popular uses for a home extension. It guarantees peace and quiet while you attempt to get everything done on your list.
For those that work from home, it creates a a space for you to hide away and attend those virtual meetings or get important jobs completed efficiently, while at the same time eliminating costs related to a commute or renting business premises. When you calculate outgoings to cover those expenses, a home office extension may pay for itself in no time.
EXTENSIONS FOR PLAYROOMS
Accommodating a playroom extension can be a fun and exciting way to give your children more space to play and explore. Before deciding what size and shape of extension you require, you need to consider what the children will use the space for and the activities they could do.
You’ll want to create a layout that’s functional and flexible, with areas for playing, reading, and crafting. Make sure there’s enough space for your children to move around comfortably and that the room is safe and child-friendly. As your children grow, their playroom needs may change. Consider designing a space that can be easily adapted to accommodate their changing needs.
