Extension by enclosing a concrete verandah, using existing roof
Hi all
We have a 60's brick home (sort of an A frame shape) and at the back there is a roofed verandah which runs the length of the house. The verandah floor is solid cement on limestone footing.
I'd like to enclose the verandah in order to make a playroom (access via the doorway we currently use to go to verandah) and extend the kitchen (we would have to knock out part of the kitchen wall for this).
I think part of our council/strata requirements is that any extensions need to be in brick.
I know nothing about extensions, building, renovating etc - but I wonder since we already have the foundation, roof and two of the walls, is this a relatively easy extension?
We would need to redo the ceilings, plaster the walls, add electrical sockets etc - but the plumbing for the sink in kitchen would be staying the same.
What I'd like is some guidance - is this so easy that I should go and do an owner builder course or is this something for a professional building company? Any idea of vicinity of costs?
Cheers,
Jen
