SRES-Sweden tips for House/building Extensions

Depending on the size of your extension, you may need to think about relocation while the work is being done
A well detailed project proposal to SRES-Sweden, a good working relationship and a great deal of interaction & communication is vital to get the desired result you’re after.
Think about your neighbours and keep them well informed of all works to be undertaken
Site insurance may become necessary as and extension will not be part of your house/building insurance
An extension may complement or contrast your existing building. Which effect are you after?
Extension Interiors must be planned for prior to build (position of electrics, ventilation, plumbing)
Extensions will ensue a cost to heating during winter. Demands for hot water, heating will impact your boiler/heating system which may need to be replaced!
Building regulation approval is a must which can be applied for and approved through SRES-Sweden.
Off-site construction which is Sweden’s preferred method is a very time and cost-effective manner of constructing your proposed extension. The use of SIP’s – Structural Insulated Panels and CLT – Cross Laminated Timber frames can be constructed in a factory off-site where these components can be assembled on-site. We at SRES-Sweden can advise you during the design and planning process whether to choose on-site or off-site construction depending on your location and existing building.
Keep in mind the location of your extension and the electrical, water and Sewage supply mains
Budget and contingency are a must. The start of work on an extension project can uncover problems with the existing house/building that need addressing so Plan your budget accordingly!
