- Planning: Before you spend money, check if you can build an annexe. We can help with this!
- Pick the Right Spot: Annexes should be near the main house. But every project is different.
- Foundations: Annexes need a strong base. You can use screws or concrete. If you’re replacing an old building, the base might not be good enough.

- Pick the Right Company: It’s easier if one company does everything. We manage the whole project for you.
