One good reason to develop your unfinished basement? 🤔 It improves the health of your home! Basement developments aren’t just about the looks, it’s also about the longevity and livability of your home. A neglected, unfinished basement is a magnet for damp and cold conditions. This means that your basement is quite likely compromising the environment in your home, exposing your family to discomfort and potential health risks. Indoor air doesn’t stay in one room. It circulates throughout a home, being pushed into bedrooms, bathrooms and the kitchen, where you and your family spend the most time. Properly finishing a basement with modern waterproofing and insulation methods will address potential problems and ensure that your home has healthy indoor air quality. If you are at all concerned, or embarking on a remodel, be sure to hire someone who can properly inspect the basement for leaks, foundation cracks, pests and other problems… Like us at Nuvo Construction! 😁 For all of your basement development and renovation needs, Nuvo is here to help! We also offer financing on our renovation projects!

Does your house need planning permission for cladding? Do I need planning permission to knock a boundary wall and build another one? Can I install a shower and toilet in a concrete shed that's not attached to the house at the end of the garden without planning? Can I get retrospective planning permission? What is the planning rule around log cabins at the back of my garden? What's the planning rule on Velux windows in the roof of a cottage? Can I build a stand-alone granny flat without planning permission on my property? Do I need planning permission for an attic conversion? Can I put a small gate in my back wall that leads to a public area beside me? Can I build an extension on the side of a detached home in a housing estate? Some of the planning questions our expert planner Joe Corr answered when speaking to NewstalkFM KieranCuddihy on the Hard Shoulder yesterday. Listen back here 👇

Terraced housing and apartments have become increasingly popular due to current housing market trends and challenges. Adequate waterproofing of these exposed areas is critical to prevent future leaks and water traveling inside the building causing significant structural damage. Read more below... #allcoprojects #waterproofingexperts #housing #abovegroundwaterproofing

✅ New Homes Save Money Newer builds boast modern insulation systems that drastically reduce energy bills compared to older buildings, which may have lacked proper insulation or used outdated materials such as fiberglass batting. ✅ Design Flexibility Having design flexibility when constructing a new build means that homeowners get exactly what they want without compromising quality or aesthetics, making it easier than ever before for them to find their dream home. ✅ Quality Control Building from scratch gives you an advantage as you can select materials that are of higher quality than those found in existing homes. ✅ Warranty Coverage Buying a new construction home assures buyers of warranty coverage from the builder for any problems that may arise during their first few years of ownership.

A lot of people seem to think that the building materials used today don’t compare to the materials used in older houses. In many cases they don’t. So I thought I’d investigate why current materials are used now. The primary reasons that plywood and drywall are used today are because they are more affordable than timber, less susceptible to termites, and fire resistant. Timber is extremely expensive. It’s quality in 2024 is poor compared to say, 1918. Timber is susceptible to termites, is far less  fire resistant than plywood or drywall, and feels flimsy with each step. Water damage is also very likely. I think many of us also have this thinking because in downtown Colorado Springs we see the beautiful homes downtown. “Why don’t they build homes like that anymore?” Well, it’s important to remember that Colorado Springs was settled by rich people that wanted a beautiful oasis to live in. Many of them could afford the best quality construction of that time. Colorado Springs’ nickname was once “City of Millionaires”. We also have smaller homes from that time that need a significant amount of work and renovation due to the poor materials used during that time as well. So, what I’m trying to say, is that the homes that are built today are “better quality” in terms of fire safety, pest control, energy efficiency and affordability. If we tried to build homes from the previous century, only millionaires would be able to afford them. Also, how many beautiful treed areas would be leveled? https://lnkd.in/gaHnrw2A

Things to know about restoring old homes: 1- Permitting is a necessity: Every historic house renovation or remodel requires permitting not only from your local township, but from your local historic commission as well. 2- Materials require approval too: Just like building permits, the materials you plan to use in your historic home renovation must also often go through the approval process with local authorities. Again, the reason being for keeping the home’s original splendor intact. Anything from energy efficient window upgrades to the type of wood used on your front porch posts need to be submitted for review. 3- Replication is key: One of the biggest factors when it comes to renovating a historic home is matching the original style of columns, pillars, table legs, moulding, and wood staircase components when updating them to a modern condition. Though this may seem like an impossible task, a custom woodshop (like TurnTech) not only makes it feasible, but easy! We’ll discuss more on this topic later in the article, but you can skip ahead here! 4- Budgets are merely baselines: Considering the age of the home and the complexity of the project, the cost to restore old houses very often run above the estimated budget. Professional contractors typically suggest setting expectations for encountering hiccups and possible material shortages along the way!

Hello Autumn 👋🍂 Summer has gone, and autumn is here, so we thought we’d share some reasons why it’s the perfect time to focus on internal home renovations: ✅ Cost savings – Materials may be cheaper in autumn because it’s considered the ‘off-season’ for building homes. And who doesn’t want to save on their renovations? ✅ Less mess – Compared to spring and winter, autumn offers drier days (sometimes!), which can mean that you experience less mess, as extremely wet conditions can ruin the garden or access to the home. ✅ Keep your project on track – Talking of the ‘off-season', builders, contractors and architects tend to have more availability in autumn compared to spring and summer, which means that your project is more likely to keep on track and be finished on schedule. At Pristine Building Solutions, we have limited autumn availability left, so if you are serious about giving your home a little upgrade before Christmas, get in touch with us: 📞 +44 7969 247967 📧 info@pristine-building.co.uk #Renovations #BuildingProject #HomeExtension #Construction
