Name the need
Too little light, small bedrooms, awkward circulation or no workspace: name the problem before choosing a solution. A focused intervention may sometimes be enough.
Understand the existing home
Structure, building condition and site constraints influence the decision. Have uncertain points assessed before comparing budgets with different scopes.
Compare scenarios
For each option, consider daily use, duration, living arrangements during the work and the total budget. The right scenario depends on your priorities.
