Home Expansion is a great option when we love our home but it no longer meets our needs in terms of space. In a market where single-family homes are particularly popular, as it is the case in Montr\u00e9al, adding an extension can be a good alternative to buying a new home. However, in the city, the conditions associated with the construction of an extension are not the same as elsewhere. To complete a home expansion in Montreal, these conditions need to be known and the choices made accordingly.<\/p>\n
Before starting any major renovation works, you must always contact your municipality to identify the criteria and regulations in effect. These may differ from one municipality to another, depending on the type of house. This is especially true in historic areas where the exterior appearance of the house is codified. After becoming aware of the regulations, you must then obtain the mandatory permits and other authorizations.<\/p>\n
The budget, the space available and the municipal laws will all have an impact on the type of expansion that will be chosen. There will also be questions about the structure of the house. For example, if you choose to add a floor, you must make sure that the structure and the foundations are able to support this additional weight. In addition, this is another aspect that will have an impact on the price of the extension.<\/p>\n
There are extensions of all sizes and formats. In some cases, it is possible to double the size of a home. The following extensions are those most often seen in the city:<\/p>\n
Height extensions (adding a floor)<\/strong><\/p>\n This form of extension is often adopted by those who do not have much ground or do not wish to give it up. The addition of a floor allows additional rooms or complete apartment. The upward expansion is also particularly interesting in the city because the buildings are higher there. This floor addition will benefit of more brightness. The addition of a second floor is considered a winning addition because in most cases it increases the value of the house.<\/p>\n Lateral extensions (on the side)<\/strong><\/p>\n If there is space available on one side of the house, lateral extension may be a good option. This kind of extension can be done on piles or on a concrete slab.<\/p>\n Rear extensions<\/strong><\/p>\n Often, it is by expanding from behind that one has access to the largest amount of extra space. Like an extension made on the sides, it is possible to opt for piles or a concrete slab. For a larger enlargement, it is also possible to build a crawl space.<\/p>\n Underground extensions<\/strong><\/p>\n Finally, there are also many houses where the basement remains unexploited. Either it has not been finished or it has literally not been dug. However, expectations must be moderated because this kind of project is more expensive than it looks. In addition, the added parts will not have access to much brightness.<\/p>\n Note that in most cases, front extensions are prohibited. Moreover, even when it is not prohibited by regulation, it must be remembered that an extension that is not in consonance with the rest of the house will affect the general aspect of the house. Therefore, the value of it could be affected. Regardless of the type of extension, it is a must to contact a qualified contractor to carry out the work.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”http:\/\/www.maxconstruction.qc.ca\/en\/transformation\/” button_text=”TRANSFORMATION” button_alignment=”left” _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_button=”on” background_layout=”dark” button_text_color_hover=”#000000″ global_colors_info=”{}” button_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_text_color__hover_enabled=”on” button_text_color__hover=”#000000″ button_one_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off”][\/et_pb_button][et_pb_button button_url=”http:\/\/www.maxconstruction.qc.ca\/en\/house-and-bungalow-expansion-services\/” button_text=”Expansion” button_alignment=”left” _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_button=”on” background_layout=”dark” button_text_color_hover=”#000000″ global_colors_info=”{}” button_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_text_color__hover_enabled=”on” button_text_color__hover=”#000000″ button_one_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Home Expansion is a great option when we love our home but it no longer meets our needs in terms of space.

Dans un march\u00e9 o\u00f9 les maisons unifamiliales sont particuli\u00e8rement pris\u00e9es, comme c'est le cas \u00e0 Montr\u00e9al, l'ajout d'une extension peut \u00eatre une bonne alternative \u00e0 l'achat d'une nouvelle maison. <\/span><\/p> Par contre, en ville, les conditions associ\u00e9es \u00e0 la construction d'un agrandissement ne sont pas les m\u00eames qu'ailleurs. Pour compl\u00e9ter un agrandissement de maison \u00e0 Montr\u00e9al, il faut donc conna\u00eetre ces conditions et faire ses choix en cons\u00e9quence.<\/span><\/p> Avant de lancer des travaux de r\u00e9novation majeurs, il faut toujours s'informer aupr\u00e8s de son arrondissement pour conna\u00eetre les crit\u00e8res et les r\u00e9glementations en vigueur. Ceux-ci peuvent diff\u00e9rer d'un quartier \u00e0 l'autre, selon le type de maison. Ceci est particuli\u00e8rement vrai dans les secteurs historiques o\u00f9 l'apparence ext\u00e9rieure de la maison est codifi\u00e9e. Apr\u00e8s avoir pris connaissance des r\u00e9glementations, on doit ensuite se munir des permis et autres autorisations appropri\u00e9es.<\/span><\/p> Le budget, la quantit\u00e9 d'espace disponible et les r\u00e8glements municipaux auront tous un impact sur le type d'agrandissement que l'on choisira. Il y aura aussi des questions par rapport \u00e0 la structure de la maison. Par exemple, si l'on choisit d'ajouter un \u00e9tage, on doit s'assurer que la structure et les fondations soient en mesure d'accueillir ce poids suppl\u00e9mentaire. De plus, il s'agit d'un autre aspect qui aura un impact sur le prix de l'agrandissement.<\/span><\/p> Il existe des agrandissements de toutes les tailles et de tous les formats. Dans certains cas, il est possible de doubler la superficie d'une demeure. Les agrandissements suivants sont ceux que l'on voit le plus souvent en ville: <\/span><\/p> Agrandissement en hauteur (ajout d'un \u00e9tage)<\/b><\/p> Cette forme d'agrandissement est souvent adopt\u00e9e par ceux qui n'ont pas beaucoup de terrain ou qui ne souhaitent pas empi\u00e9ter sur celui-ci. L'ajout d'un \u00e9tage permet d'installer des chambres suppl\u00e9mentaires ou de rajouter un logement au complet. L'agrandissement vers le haut est aussi particuli\u00e8rement int\u00e9ressant en ville parce que les immeubles y sont plus \u00e9lev\u00e9s. Cet \u00e9tage b\u00e9n\u00e9ficiera donc de davantage de luminosit\u00e9. L'ajout d'un \u00e9tage est consid\u00e9r\u00e9 comme un agrandissement gagnant car dans la plupart des cas, il fait augmenter la valeur de la maison.<\/span><\/p> Agrandissement lat\u00e9ral sur les c\u00f4t\u00e9s<\/b><\/p> S'il y a de l'espace disponible sur un des c\u00f4t\u00e9s de la maison, l'agrandissement lat\u00e9ral peut \u00eatre une bonne option. Ce genre d'extension peut \u00eatre fait sur pieux ou sur une dalle de b\u00e9ton.<\/span><\/p> Agrandissement par-derri\u00e8re<\/b><\/p> Souvent, c'est en agrandissant par derri\u00e8re que l'on a acc\u00e8s \u00e0 la plus grande quantit\u00e9 d'espace suppl\u00e9mentaire. Tout comme une extension faite sur les c\u00f4t\u00e9s, il est possible d'opter pour des pieux ou une dalle de b\u00e9ton. Pour un agrandissement plus grand, il est aussi possible de construire un vide sanitaire.<\/span><\/p> Creuser le sous-sol<\/b><\/p> Finalement, il y a aussi de nombreuses maisons o\u00f9 le sous-sol demeure inexploit\u00e9. Soit il n'a pas \u00e9t\u00e9 am\u00e9nag\u00e9 ou il n\u2019a carr\u00e9ment pas \u00e9t\u00e9 creus\u00e9. Il faut cependant mod\u00e9rer nos attentes car ce genre de projet est plus co\u00fbteux qu'il en a l'air. De plus, les pi\u00e8ces rajout\u00e9es n'auront pas acc\u00e8s \u00e0 beaucoup de luminosit\u00e9.<\/span><\/p> Notons que dans la plupart des cas, les agrandissements par l'avant sont interdits. De plus, m\u00eame lorsque ce n'est pas prohib\u00e9 par la r\u00e9glementation, il faut se rappeler qu'une extension qui n'est pas en harmonie avec le reste de la maison aura pour effet de r\u00e9duire l'attrait de la maison. Par cons\u00e9quent, la valeur de celle-ci pourrait \u00eatre affect\u00e9e. Quelle que soit la d\u00e9cision prise quant au type d'agrandissement, il faut s'adresser \u00e0 un entrepreneur qualifi\u00e9 pour ex\u00e9cuter les travaux.<\/span><\/p>","_et_gb_content_width":"","iawp_total_views":142,"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-31223","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-house-transformation-expansion-tips"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.maxconstruction.qc.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31223","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.maxconstruction.qc.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.maxconstruction.qc.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.maxconstruction.qc.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.maxconstruction.qc.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=31223"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.maxconstruction.qc.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31223\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.maxconstruction.qc.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30958"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.maxconstruction.qc.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=31223"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.maxconstruction.qc.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=31223"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.maxconstruction.qc.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=31223"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Some notes about home extensions<\/h3>\n
