Renovation & Rebuilding in DHA Phase 4: questions
Can I add a storey to my existing Phase 4 house?
Possibly. It needs a structural check of the current frame and DHA approval for the added floor. If the original structure was not designed for it, strengthening or a rebuild may be needed.
How do I avoid disputes with neighbours during renovation?
Tell them before work starts, protect shared walls, keep the street clear and stick to sensible hours. Put these expectations in your contract with the builder.
Do contractors on Houseplot do both residential and commercial work?
Some do both, some specialise. Mention the job type when you post it, and ask each contractor for photos of similar finished work.
