Before looking at the plan and design, we advise defining the purpose of your extension as it may influence other choices. Are you looking to create an extra living space such as a larger kitchen, a playroom an office or another living room? Perhaps you are planning on using your extension for hobbies or as a leisure area? By identifying your extension’s purpose, you can begin making other important decisions.
