I'm sure many of you have had some building done on your houses. I'm looking for any advice or experiences regarding this.
My situation:
We currently own a small house, with an acceptable size yard. The house is 2 bed, 1bath, kitchen, living room, think it was around 120m2.
I don't really want to take up more of the yard, so we thought about building a second story.
The living room's wall is already 2nd story high on the one side.
We'll extend the living room on the ground floor to make it double the size, and then go up the whole ground levels size.
I know the foundation must be checked if it can handle this.
What i've heard are 2 things though, some people say, it can be extended without problems.
Some people say if someones says you can extend it they're trying to BS you... So personally I don't know on this.
Can anyone recommend a builder they've used for 2nd story.
Any advice, remarks, do's, don'ts, etc welcome
