A room addition is an excellent option for homeowners for many reasons. They are cost-effective, you can custom tailor them to fit your home and needs, and they are an excellent option for those who are attached to their current home or just don't relish the idea of moving into a larger residence. Still, a house addition is a major undertaking and it's important that you plan ahead and make sure that it's the right decision from both a practical and financial standpoint before you move forward.

First steps in planning your family room addition should include:

* Assess the property (grade, easements, etc) and determine where you will build your family room addition

* Consider access to the new family room. If you place the addition in a particular location, how will it connect to the existing structure? What changes to the existing structure will be necessary to provide access to the new family room?

* What changes to the existing structure will be necessary to provide access? How will this affect the functionality of the existing space?

* If your home is on a sloped lot, how much will you need to "build up" the foundation to position the new space on the same level as the existing structure?

* If you must "build up" how will you use the space under the new room? Is this a good space for storage? Is it something that can be finished into another usable space? Is it a place to store lawn and gardening equipment and supplies, or bicycles and other outdoor items?

* What is the appropriate size of the new family room? You will want to consider not only your space needs, but also the size of the existing structure. Proportion is important, especially when considering resale value. You will need to determine the size and scale that fits and complements the existing home. Don't make it so large that it overwhelms the house or so small that it doesn't acent the rest of the house.

* What kind of roofline will fit into the existing roof? What kinds of roofing materials are indicated in order to match the rest of the house?

* How will the exterior walls match or complement the rest of the exterior of the house?

* What kind of windows and doors are appropriate in order to make the addition look like it has always been part of the house?

* Is this an opportunity to build your addition in a way that improves the energy efficiency of your home? Should you add skylights or solar panels?

* What is required by local building codes? Are there restrictions on the size of the addition or the materials that can be used?
