What To Consider For Your New Extension
Choosing the right extension for your home is a highly personal decision based on your property type, your lifestyle requirements and your tastes and style. When planning your new extension, there are several things that you need to consider, here are some of them…
-
- Your Purpose
If you’re wondering where to start when planning your extension, deciding how you are going to use it is always a good place. 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.
-
- Planning Permission & Regulations

Fortunately, all the steel frame extensions offered by Steel Frame Buildings Ltd are available up to 30 sqm, which means that they are in line with permitted development.

-
- Your Budget
Your available budget will likely dictate many decisions surrounding your new extension. When planning the budget for your new extension, we advise considering all potential costs, including materials, labour, permits, and any unforeseen expenses. While those finishing touches will make your space look aesthetically pleasing, you should never scrimp on the quality of materials, or the company that you choose to build your steel frame extension. Ensuring that you budget within your means is key to the success of your extension.
-
- Materials
The materials you choose for your new extension can impact the longevity and structural stability of your extension in the long run. Unlike traditional building materials like wood or brick, steel frame extensions resist warping, cracking, and corrosion, ensuring long-term structural integrity even in challenging environmental and weather conditions. What’s more, steel is a highly sustainable, fully recyclable material with a significantly lower environmental impact compared to traditional building materials.
