Greater Pacific Construction, a leading room addition contractor specialized in building Home Additions and Expansions for over two decades, is known to be an expert when it comes to doing home additions, expansions and home construction. An addition or expansion to a house is described as adding new rooms, areas, or additional square footage to an existing house. Whether building a 2nd level over an existing house or expanding the existing ground floors. There are many features that are or can be added to a house. Areas such as new and expanded kitchen and dining area, master bedrooms and bath, bedrooms and bathrooms, 2nd floor additions, California room and outdoor living spaces.
The nature of an addition for every property is unique and different. Each lot and property have characteristics that require specific creativity and design approach. Depending on the size of the lot and the amount of space available on a lot for the new build addition or expansion, the design approach will vary. One of the first things we as an expert room addition builder will want to find out is, what would be the purpose of the addition? Is it to gain more living space? Is it to gain more storage space? Or is it because we are trying to gain additional bedrooms or other living spaces? We first try to fully understand our clients’ needs and must haves when working on the process of an expansion or home addition. Understanding the day to day needs and functions of a family, future size and growth of the family, the amount of entertainment they have at the house and many other day to day functions and habits that will be studied in order to propose the best case solution and most feasible addition for the project. The key to a successful addition and home expansion as we always say is: 1. It shouldn’t look like an addition when its all completed and finished. 2. The new addition should blend in perfectly with existing design and layout of the house. 3. It should help enhance the life style of our home owners.
We will then pick the most feasible section of the existing house where the expansion will make most sense. There are many different architectural elements and designs that will roll into play in addition to the structural challenges that each project poses which we will work with the design team to come up with the most practical and creative designs for the work. Upon final design decisions and completion of the entire design package; the design team would start working with local jurisdictions such as the home owners’ association or local city building and zoning department in order to obtain and receive all necessary permits and approvals for the project. Upon pulling the construction permit, we would finally start getting ready for the actual build. By this stage of the process we already have drafted our construction schedule spelling out all the activities involved in the process and have our build team and suppliers and other related members all selected and all ready to start construction. The actual breaking ground and construction will start once our owners are fully ready and on board with the work and direct us to proceed forward.
We would start by building the rough phases of the work which in most cases will start with the initial demolition, underground utilities such as electrical and plumbing, foundation and framing and other parts of the project. Upon completion of the rough phases we will proceed with our City inspections for getting us ready to start on other phases of the work which involve covering walls and ceilings and exterior of the project with different finishing elements and materials.
A great amount of energy and efforts goes into the structural and concealed parts of a home that are not visible to the ordinary eyes. Things such as the quality of the materials being used, the level of craftsmanship and attention put in to the work, and the kind of strength and quality the home is built with. There are many important factors that come into play affecting the quality and life of a structure. In most cases, they are not visible to the eye but can make a huge different in quality and life of a house. The quality of routing the plumbing lines and installing the fittings and fixtures, the quality of wiring and installation of electrical fixtures, the quality of installation of ductings and all heating and cooling equipment and elements, quality of waterproofing of different areas of the house such as exterior walls and window openings, showers and bathrooms, roofs and all other elements related to roofing. There are many different factors related to quality and durability of a building that we consider at the time of build. We creatively use different methods of routing the plumbing lines, electrical lines and HVAC ducting and other components to make sure the architectural essence of the house is maintained and we are not cutting in to the design. During the material selection process, our clients have already made all their choices and the materials have been procured and purchased, now its time for installation. Carefully installing all the finish related elements after drywall finishing or at the stage of drywall installation can include: cabinetry and millwork, floor tiles, wood floors and trims, stair cases and railing, backsplash and many other finishing materials. Quality craftsmanship in the installation process can make all the difference in how a project presents itself and our team of installers and finishers at Greater Pacific Construction can make that difference. From proper installation of all finishes and fixtures according the best industry practices and standards to final finishing touches to different details such as custom tile installation and wood trims or other decorative elements, all and all are accounted for here at our company because we believe in building our clients home just like its ours.
