How to Save Pounds On Your Home Extension - and get you fit for the summer
March 15, 2010
When it comes to home extensions, did you appreciate that between one half and two-thirds of the project outlay is dedicated to labour costs? In these times of economic belt tightening, this is a sobering thought that can quite literally stop your aspirations of a home extension dead in its tracks. However, there are ways of addressing this and one suggestion that Orchard Planning Solutions wishes to put to you is to do some of the work yourself. Yes, the thought of brick laying or roof construction may well prove a project too far to the fair weather DIY enthusiast . However, don't dispair, as our hidden talents can be used in other ways. For example, for the person who has little confidence in DIY, why not consider labouring for your builder? If you feel slightly more confident, how about getting involved at the second fixed stage of the project. This is the stage when things really start to come together and include jobs such as plasterboarding, decorating, tiling and fitting kitchens and bathrooms for example. Outside, projects may include soft landscaping and block paving.
So, if you have the time and the necessary level of confidence, why not give it a go and save you money that can then be spent on a well earned post extension holiday!
