Good day everyone,
I have a general question about the approximate cost range as well as the approval status.
Regarding the general situation:
House from around 1960, one story with an attic, gable roof, solid exterior walls, dry, roof is deficient. Roof would be torn off, ring beam concreted, new shed roof instead of gable roof to be constructed. According to the structural engineer, most interior walls can be removed, as they are non-load-bearing or do not contribute to stability. The house has about 50m2 on the ground floor, about 40m2 in the attic. Without explaining the situational living arrangement, about 160m2 would be needed. Open living area. Approximately 100m2 would need to be added.
The plot is 600m2, the floor area ratio is 0.4 which means possible development of 240m2 is easily achievable.
Now regarding the approval status: What are the chances of getting approval for a 100m2 extension with a shed roof?
For the type of extension, there is the option of a solid construction or a timber frame construction. Timber frame construction would be preferred due to the flexible design of the interior, as this requires few load-bearing interior walls due to the construction method.
What would a timber frame construction with a shed roof roughly cost? (Without interior finishing as this is accounted for separately) compared to a solid extension. (Approximate estimates to have a figure in mind)
Or would it be better to demolish completely and rebuild?
Thank you for all your efforts and have a nice week!
Best regards M.P
