Building a Room Addition in Aliso Viejo
First Develop a
Room Addition Plan
Building a Room Addition on you home in Aliso Viejo can be one of the best investments you can make
in your home. Building a room addition, such as a family room addition,
or bonus room can add wonderful new living space to your home. However,
prior to starting a room addition, a homeowner should first formulate a
room addition plan. There are several key factors that should be
considered prior to breaking ground.
Developing a room addition plan for your home in Aliso
Viejo should include both interior and
exterior considerations. With many room addition projects a homeowner
can draw up the basic room addition plans, including the floor layout
and the physical exterior shape and size of the room addition. However,
if the roof lines and/or foundation footprints on the existing home or
the new room addition are complex, an architect may be required. An
architect may also be required to ensure that the finished room addition
aesthetically looks like it was part of the existing home. This is a key factor
for resale value. If a room addition appears as an afterthought to the
home it will be aesthetically unappealing to the neighborhood and to
someday prospective home buyers.
When planning a room addition in Aliso Viejo, the permit / inspection process will
typically include an overall building permit, as well as electric,
plumbing, and insulation permits. In order to complete the building
permit process you will need drawings or sketches of the room addition.
Besides overall sketches of the room addition with overall dimensions,
the drawings will also need to include cross-sectional views showing the
framing type and physical sizes of floor joists, roof rafters, and wall
framing construction. You will also need a bill of materials and a cost
estimate for the construction. The building inspector will use this
information to determine if the construction will meet all construction
and safety codes. The building department may also uses the Bill of
Material and cost information to assess the amount of the permit cost.
