Home Additions

A well-designed addition to your home takes thorough planning. Your addition should not only consider lifestyle needs, but also increase the value of your property by more than the construction cost. Structural changes resulting from your addition may give you a chance to improve other outdated components.

Construction is largely a sequential process. A variety of professional resources with a wide range of expertise is needed to complete a project successfully. They need to be available at the right time and be able to work together at different stages of the project. For example, when building components or manpower is not available at the jobsite when needed, it will cause delays. Comox Home Builders has the expertise to make the construction process go more smoothly and efficiently.

Shortcuts on material and labor will affect the outcome of the entire project. The cost to fix problems caused by the use of substandard materials or incorrect application can be substantial. Using the right materials and hiring the right expertise means a much better finished result and more value in your home.

Some of the more crucial areas where expertise is needed include:

• Obtaining permits and approvals
• Design and material selection
• Structural load bearing and other engineering requirements
• Assembling the right human resources
• Constructing the home to meet building code standards
• Controlling and managing the project

In the construction of custom homes and major additions, all projects have different challenges. Comox Home Builders understands that the key to a successful outcome is to finalize your design and select the right materials before work starts.

Working with Comox Home Builders gives you the confidence that your project will go smoothly.

Design and Construction Options

Your choices of design, materials and construction method play a major role in the look and feel of the finished home. There are many ways to combine different construction types with design and material that creates the perfect home for you. Some may choose spacious open plan living, abundance of natural light and the ambiance of natural timbers while others prefer more traditional and easier to build structures.

Different construction methods will be required depending on the type of structure selected for the home. Conventional framing is the most common option. More complex homes may involve the use of post and beam, timber-frame or log structural components. In some cases, these components may be combined with a conventional frame to get a more cost-effective result.

Building different types of homes takes special skill sets. Comox Home Builders uses the best construction practices no matter what design and structural materials are selected. We recommend the use of higher quality materials as they give a better finished result, reduce labor costs during the building process and minimize waste.
