It is highly recommended to obtain professionally designed plans. By doing so you ensure that you create a space that is functional and utilised in the best possible way.

By creating a larger home, you will most certainly add value to what is often your largest investment. An extension that is truly effective to the overall layout and functionality of a home will raise the market worth, the overall square footage will be higher, and the home is more functional.
