Our Working Process

1.    Consultation you share what you want to add, along with the building's age and current condition

2.    Site visit our team inspects the structure, access, and any visible signs of stress like cracks or settling

3.    Structural assessment we confirm whether the existing foundation and columns can carry the new load, or need strengthening first

4.    Planning layout, structural drawings, and material specifications are finalized

5.    Quotation a written estimate covering labor, materials, and timeline, before any work starts

6.    Municipality approval we prepare documentation and coordinate with your ward office for the revised Naksa Pass

7.    Material selection you choose material grades based on budget and the load requirements

8.    Execution foundation or column strengthening (if needed), RCC framework, masonry, roofing, then MEP and finishing

9.    Quality check completed work is checked against approved drawings and agreed specifications

10.  Final handover you receive the finished space with documentation of the work done

Materials & Options

Material choice depends on the load the extension carries and your finishing budget.

•     Cement and steel grade determines the structural strength of columns, beams, and slabs; we specify grades to match the engineering design, not just the lowest cost option

•     Brick or block work standard brick suits most residential walls; blockwork can speed up construction on larger commercial extensions

•     Waterproofing membranes essential at every junction between old and new structure, especially on terrace and balcony conversions

•     Flooring and finishing materials tile, wood, or basic cement finish, chosen based on use and budget, without affecting the structural work underneath

•     Reinforcement (rebar) options sizing depends on whether the extension is a single room or a full additional floor carrying further load in the future

Benefits of Choosing Our Service

You stay in a location you already know same neighborhood, same commute, same schools instead of selling and relocating.

Extending is usually more cost-effective than buying additional land, since you're only paying for the new built-up area.

A well-planned extension, especially an added rental floor, can turn unused terrace space into a source of monthly income.

Working on the structure gives you a chance to fix things you didn't like in the original layout better light, an added bathroom, or a more open room.

Common Problems We Solve

•     Not enough living space as children grow up and need their own rooms

•     Growing joint families married sons or daughters need a separate floor in the same building

•     Rental income needs an added floor becomes a monthly income source

•     Business expansion a home-based or small commercial operation has outgrown its space

•     Lack of parking addressed by extending the ground floor footprint or reworking the layout

•     Old building modification reinforcement to hold new floors or meet current seismic expectations

Cost Factors

We don't quote fixed prices upfront extension costs vary from one property to the next, and any number given without a site visit is a guess. These are the factors that actually move the cost:

A site with poor foundation condition and difficult access will cost more per square foot than a straightforward one. The only reliable way to get an accurate number is a site inspection, followed by a written estimate before work begins.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in the building extension service?

Structural assessment, engineering consultation, design, municipality approval assistance, and full construction RCC work, masonry, roofing, waterproofing, MEP, and finishing. Exact scope is confirmed after a site inspection.

Do I need municipality approval to add a floor to my house?

Yes. Any work that changes your building's structure, footprint, or height requires a revised Naksa Pass from your local municipality before construction begins.

Can any existing house support an additional floor?

Not automatically. It depends on the foundation design, column size, and the age and condition of the structure. A structural assessment tells you whether the building can carry the new floor as-is or needs strengthening first.

How long does a building extension take?

It depends on the size of the extension, whether structural strengthening is needed, the season, and how quickly municipality approval comes through. We give a firm timeline after the site inspection.

Do you provide a written cost estimate before starting work?

Yes. After the site visit, we share a written estimate covering labor, materials, and timeline before any construction begins.

Can I add a rental unit when extending my house?

Yes this is one of the most common reasons for a floor addition. It's worth planning separate access and metering from the start if rental income is the goal.

Do you handle both residential and commercial extensions?

Yes. We work with homeowners as well as business owners expanding shops, offices, and mixed-use buildings, including the floor-area ratio and parking requirements that come with commercial work.
