About this title

Synopsis

A guide aimed at professionals who design and build home extensions and at homeowners requiring something tailored to their specific needs, tastes and budget. It takes the reader step by step through the process of adding space to houses and contains checklists, floor plans and illustrations.

Reviews

Wenz, a builder and home inspector, has created a useful guide that shows how to remodel a home by adding on. Observing that more money is currently spent on remodeling houses than on building new ones, Wenz points out that most architects and builders have little if any training in this area. He starts with the basic question: Should one add to an existing structure or buy a different house that has the desired features? He progresses to discussing design types and how best to integrate the new areas with the old. He also covers evaluation of the building site and the old structure. Some building techniques are covered, but the author assumes that the reader is experienced in these areas. The illustrations are excellent. This book will appeal to architects, builders, and experienced do-it-yourselfers and is appropriate for larger academic and public libraries.?Jonathan Hershey, Akron-Summit Cty. P.L., Ohio
