What are the Steps I Need to Take When Building a House Extension in Dublin?

There are several steps you need to take when proceeding with a house extension project. Our tradespeople are here to help guide you through each step of the process. Once you know what type of home extension you want to build, one or more of our contractors will be in touch to set up an appointment. Here is a general list of steps that you need to take to make the dream of your house extension a reality.

What Kind of Health and Safety Measures Do YourPro House Extension Contractors Have in Place?

Our client’s health and safety are our top priority – as are the health and safety of our contractors. At YourPro, we go to great lengths to ensure that our home extension service providers come with years of experience and stellar reputations. They all go through rigorous vetting before becoming part of our team. We give you peace of mind with who you let into your home.

What are the Options to Keep my House Extension Cost Budget-Friendly in Dublin?

Whether you convert your attic space, add a front or back porch, or convert your existing garage, there are several options that you can do to gain extra square metres in your home without the enormous overhead costs. Our builders will go above and beyond to build the home extension best suited to your budget and needs.

For example, you would like to add a front porch to your home, giving you a front entrance leading into your living room. They are relatively easy to build and install and require almost no planning permissions to build. They generally make these house extensions with bricks, glass windows, and a door, giving you extra square metres for minimal euros. A project of this nature is typically estimated to cost €1000 - €3900  depending on the size requested. 

Another budget-friendly option that our home extension contractors could complete for you is a garage conversion. Garages have become more redundant over recent years, with homeowners choosing to use them for storage, leaving their cars outside, or having forgone a vehicle and instead use public transit. 

In either case, you have square metres in your garage that you can convert into usable living space with minimal construction and cost. Depending on the scope of the job, this type of project costs in the range of €2000 - €20000

How Do I Know If I Should Build My House Extension Up or Out?

Building your house extension either up or out is a decision our contractors can assist you with. In Dublin, most dwellings will allow a rear extension without planning permissions. Homeowners may also build up to 40 square metres at the front without planning permissions. However, planning permissions are necessary if your home extension dream is to add a side extension or second story.

You will also have to consider what must be done to bring the rest of your house up to code to support your home extension, which would be an added cost and project our skilled house extension builders can take care of for you.

The time frame in which you want to have your house extension completed is also something to take into consideration. It can take anywhere from three to five months for a single-story home extension. Still, a second story extension could take up to nine months to complete, and you also need to consider that you will need to live elsewhere during your home extension project.

There are many decisions to be made when deciding on what you want for your house extension. And our builders will be there for you every step of the way!

Will the Interior of my Residence be Exposed to the Elements During my Home Expansion Project?

Our contractors will do the utmost to ensure that the interior of your home does not damage while creating the extension of your dreams. With the use of plywood and weatherproof tarps, we will protect your home from exposure to the elements.

Scheduling the  house extension, you want to build on to your home during prime construction season is best, as the winters in Dublin are bitter and wet.

You should also plan to live somewhere else while the construction of your house extension is underway. It will help avoid the added stress of living in a space that is also a construction zone. You also may have no choice but to live elsewhere, depending on what type of extension you will build. You may not have power or running water to your home while work is being done.
