Planning a rear single storey extension and have had thought about creating a basement area under the proposed area I am extending out to.
What is the general thoughts on this? I guess the foundations will need to be dug further down and the ground area soil removed to the required depth. What type of structure will need to be built to comply with building regs?
What kind of cost saving would I expect to do this as part of the single storey extension - which will be beam and block floor.
My labour costs are more or less minimal as I have friends and family (in the trade) lending a helping hand.
