Re: Adding 2nd Storey to Bungalow - Cost?

message from Steve on 9 May 2004

Thanks for the info, all good stuff. We've actually had our offer accepted
on this property so we'll have to look at all possible ways we can extend
the place. I like the idea of putting in I-Beams but the logical plans seems
to be to get a builders opinion then maybe dig down into the foundations and
see how good/bad they are, no point using IBeams if the structure will
support the extra weight. The bungalow is probably 1940's (ish).
If we can avoid it we wouldn't want to demolish the building.

Thanks again, I'll no doubt be back with more news/advice soon!
