Home extension manual

About this book

In the current economic climate, many people are looking at ways to extend their homes rather than move house, but 'getting the builders in' can be a recipe for disaster unless you really know what you are doing. Whether you plan to employ a building contractor or tackle some of the works yourself, this best-selling manual will show you how to stay firmly in control, resulting in a high-quality extension, completed on time and within budget. This new edition will include all the up-do-date information on planning and building regs, environmental issues and options for micro-generation - all areas of recent change.
