Building an extension requires careful planning and technical skills to create a seamless transition between the existing structure and the new one, while meeting quality and safety standards. Here is an extension project in Mandelieu-la-Napoule:
1. Pouring a Reinforced Concrete Leveling Slab
After the planning phase, measurements and discussions with the client, the first step of the work is to prepare the ground for the extension. A reinforced concrete slab is poured to create an even, solid surface, providing a stable and durable base for building the extension.
2. Installing Wooden Beams to Create the Frame
Once the slab is in place, wooden beams are installed to create the structure of the extension. These beams are carefully positioned and secured to ensure the building is solid and can support the weight of the roof. The client chose to fit sliding glass doors in the extension, which is why we used sturdy wooden beams and posts, since the entire structure rests on them.
3. Building a Roof with Curved Terracotta Tiles
Building the roof is a crucial phase for protecting the extension. After creating the roof frame with wooden beams and installing the rafters, we lay support panels, ready to receive the roof covering. The curved terracotta tiles are laid precisely, offering both a classic look and effective protection against the weather.
4. Ceiling and Finishes
The extension’s fixed drywall (BA13) drop ceiling is put up to complete the structure. Everything is done according to the agreed design, ensuring perfect integration with the existing house. Finishing touches perfect the look of the extension, including applying exterior render in the same color as the existing facade.
6. Testing and Inspection
Tests are carried out to make sure the extension is solid and watertight. The quality of the construction is checked at every stage to ensure compliance with safety and quality standards.
7. Handover and Follow-Up
Once all the tests have been passed, the extension is ready to be handed over to the client. Maintenance recommendations and usage tips are provided to ensure the extension is used to its best advantage.
