Excellent video! My wife and I are planning on adding 400 sq ft to our house and this gave us some good info
Glad you liked it and thanks for watching and taking the time to let us know you appreciate what we're doing.
If you dont have the money, dont hire a contractor . you can get a local guy who works on his own.and works for a daily salary.
i did added a master bedroom to my house . saved over 50% of a contractor fee.
contractors are big companies , have to pay rent on big buildings they rent,have to pay for their big fancy cars they drive , pay for insurance insurance ,and for tons of workers they have to pay. they own big equipments they pay for or lease every month. etc etc
I am looking to pour cement for my garage. the high prices for the job are from big cement companies.
while other independent guys can do the job for under 50% fee. compared to a big company.
Thank you... Jesus bless
Very nice video, very well explained thanks for sharing 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Glad you liked it
Very helpful information, thanks for going over what to consider beforehand.
You're welcome I'm glad you found the information helpful. Sometimes a little information can make all the difference in the world, especially on a construction project like a room addition.
Thanks for the info!!!!!
Any time!
Here's my summary:
1. Visit local planning and building departments - Zoning easement and property lines
2. Can you actually build it?
3. How much will it cost?
4. Can you afford to build it?
5. Should you hire a contractor?
6. What about insurance? (Make sure your contractor has liability insurance)
7. Should you move or add the addition?
8. Plan on being inconvenienced or move out
9. Scheduling is hard
10. Avoid making changes late in the project
11. Will you get your money back?
Awesome and thanks for sharing.
Leaking between outside wall and roof on added addition

Glad you enjoyed it
At 10:24 - Will You Get Your Money Back. Owner Spent $800K and added $300K of value - This is the type of house a home buyer should seek out!
hell no.........they don't care what we add on lool
Good stuff! Thanks!
You're welcome and I'm glad you liked it.
I'm in the scenario of "it may not go well with you" lol. Will be starting my house build this year hopefully. Although, I'm a series hobby finish carpenter and avid study-er on home design and construction. Question- Would you recommend liability insurance for Owner Builders? also, in your experience, are there loan options for owner builders in case I have to take a little out?
It depends upon which type of liability insurance policy you get and it would be difficult for me to tell you yes or no, without knowing what they are. Builders get construction loans all the time, but again you would need to contact a lending agency for more information. Sorry I couldn't have helped, but I try to avoid advising people on things I'm not 100% sure on.
Dealing with local government and building departments make your life a nightmare when you want to build your dream home

One thing, if you are the home owner you dont need a contractor. You can do almost everything yourself by looking at the codes and talking with the planning and building departments of your city.
Great point.
Good point, didnt know that.
You still need sub contractors to do the work correct ?
Yeah, I’ll just rent an excavator and start digging… I just don’t have the stomach for that. I can do anything inside the house but there’s too many ways you can f up the foundation and building envelope. Inside the house I can rip it out and redo it if I screw up, outside the house not so much.
If you have a mortgage loan, could be a problem with mortgage bank due the additions? Or home insurance?

My parents are planning to expand our house in a few months. We are adding 20ft to the back and about 10 ft to one side of our house. It’s going to add around 4000+ sq ft. And our house is 4300 sq ft right now. So I’m pretty excited for it. The finished project should be almost 9000 sq ft.
Sounds good and good luck on your project. That is going to be a large house.
gregvancom yes it will be, thank you
gregvancom oh yeah and I have a quick question. So we’re trying to be a little cheaper on the exterior of the expansion. Should we use brick or stone. Our house right now is all brick.
Omg, mine is 850 sq feet...
Was the project expensive?
I have to say what if you live off grid then what
I'm guessing the same principles would apply. Let me know if there's something specific you're referring to.
at 6:11 it looks like that whole wall is sagging.
You just meed to hope your contractor is trustworthy.
It's a shame you can't trust builders. Not all most are snakes. Plus dealing with government planning departments building inspectors etc. Than the city reassess you property to the max value. It's all good if your going to sell. You may make some $$. I wanted a family home to keep for kids one day.
After everything just wasn't worth the stress.
You are way way pricey Omg lol 100k for a room lol! Omg I have done a complete and floor for 300k my gosh!
And that was 20 years ago, my prices for that today would be over 200 million:)
