Questions for your builder

  • Is the floor or ceiling strong enough to take the partition, and which way do the joists run?
  • Does the new room need its own window, ventilation or fire escape route?
  • Does the wall need sound insulation or fire-rated board?
  • Are there pipes or cables where the wall will go?
