How long does it take to build an extension?
On average, building an extension takes between 4 and 8 weeks, depending on the complexity of the job and the experience of the handyman. A simple extension can be completed more quickly, while a custom-built extension or one with many slanted walls may take longer.
What does the professional do when building an extension?
A handyman ensures your extension is professionally and efficiently built so you don’t have to worry about a thing. The process includes the following steps:
- Preparation: The handyman checks whether all necessary materials and tools are available, such as building plans, permits, and supplies.
- Foundation and structure: The foundation is laid, and the structure of the extension is built according to specifications.
- Installations: If required, electrical wiring, plumbing, and other systems are installed.
- Finishing: The handyman takes care of the final touches, such as installing windows and doors, adding insulation, and finishing walls and floors.
- Cleanup: After the build, the handyman ensures that all materials and tools are cleaned up. You are left with a fully completed extension, ready for use.
