Be Prepared

Often when you start a remodel you encounter underlying issues with the home structure. We will do a preliminary examination but there is no way to discover problems behind the walls until it comes down. We’ve already encountered a lot of random problems when remodeling old houses. They are often unexpected – during the work it may turn out that some materials or technologies used years ago have not stood the test of time, or are simply harmful to the health of the household members. Then you have to look for solutions to get around these problems. This is our strength – we know what is required to remodel old houses because we used various solutions on other projects.

Structural Integrity

Before we start remodeling your home, we carefully check the foundations of the building. The condition of the existing foundations, installations, load-bearing walls, and any thermal insulation should be checked. If an old house is to be remodeled, you need to pay close attention to these aspects. The foundations often turn out to be too low and have to be re-built to support new structures.

A very important element, if the house is being expanded, are also the structural elements of the building: load-bearing walls, roof truss, and the ceiling. Their condition will be checked in detail to know if the reconstruction is possible. Sometimes they require appropriate reinforcements, and sometimes it is necessary to partially disassemble these elements and make them anew.

Legal Management

The house reconstruction project will be made in accordance with all restrictions of the local construction law. For example, the works related to checking the condition of the house foundations will be carried out by an expert with the appropriate building qualifications. He will prepare a detailed expert opinion, which will contain such information as the assessment of the condition of the building and the conditions for the course of implementation. Another analysis that must be performed is the geotechnical assessment of the soil. The results of both expert analyses are submitted together with the application for the extension of the building to the local office for approval.

Home Remodeling

Reconstruction of a single-family house can be done in different ways. Most people decide to expand by adding additional living space, but there are also homeowners who choose to develop the basement part or remodel the house in terms of changing the layout of the rooms. More and more people are also deciding to make a building superstructure – this is a great solution that allows you to create a new functional space without increasing the occupied area on the plot. Such a solution can be made by reinforcing the existing ceiling and walls or by constructing a new ceiling. Sometimes it is necessary to make a whole new roof.

We are able to carry out an entire house reconstruction project for you, its implementation, as well as provide services that enhance the final effect, such as the design of the landscaping and the entire external space, including the terrace, fencing, entrance gates, and the like.
