Design Room Addition and Sunroom

It doesn't matter how skilled a contractor or do-it-yourselfer happens to be, if plans for a sunroom aren't in place, construction will not flow smoothly. There are a number of options available for obtaining proper sunroom design ideas and plans. Some choices happen to be much easier and more affordable to pursue.


The best and easier choice is to find a contractor who provides architectural services (in-house license architect) as part of the job proposal. It is much cheaper, and some time at no additional cost. This way only one entity takes the professional responsibility for the entire project from start to finish.

Going to an architect - This is an excellent way to ensure that plans are customized, fit the backyard in question and meet local codes. When a licensed architect creates the plans, homeowners can rest assured they will be structurally sound. Unfortunately, it can be the most time consuming and costly choice, as well.

Selecting ready-made plans - These are available in books and on the Internet. Some construction firms that specialize in sunrooms may also offer them, but only to those who choose to use their services. Ready-made plans from books and the Internet are the most affordable options for obtaining plans aside from a homeowner drawing them up personally. The only downfall with selecting ready-made plans is the lack of customization that goes along with the choice.

Using a design program - Some companies that specialize in sunroom kits offer design programs so homeowners can create their own plans for use in the creation of a kit. This option for the planning stage comes free of charge in most cases. The plans, however, are not usable unless the kit is purchased.

Making sure room addition and sunroom design is handled properly is imperative for the outcome of a building project. The design phase is the essential first step upon which everything else will rest.
