Home extensions in Ängelholm with planning, coordination, and clean finish

A home extension is one of the smartest ways to gain space without moving — but it only works if it feels like it belongs. Proportions, flow, connections, and a finish that ties everything together. MJ Byggeri AB is a carpentry and building company based in Hjärnarp, with Ängelholm Municipality as our home ground. We build extensions with a simple mindset: no shortcuts — just a clear setup, solid execution, and details that actually land.

When is an extension the right choice?

It’s rarely “just an extra room”. A good extension solves a real problem: a cramped kitchen, need for a larger living area, an extra bedroom, a home office, a utility entrance, or a smarter layout. The key is starting with the why: what should the new space do for your everyday life — and how should it connect to the rest of the house?

  • Function: daily use, storage, light, how the rooms work.
  • Flow: movement and how spaces connect naturally.
  • Overall look: facade, roof lines, window placement, proportions.

When the foundation is clear, structure, materials, and execution become much easier decisions.

How we work: clear steps, clear check-ins

An extension should feel controlled — not like a project where you “hope it works out”. That’s why we use ongoing check-ins so you know what’s happening, when it’s happening, and what comes next. We keep order in materials and logistics, plan sequences smartly, and execute with care where details matter.

We start by understanding goals and conditions, then build a logical flow: what must be done first, what can run in parallel, and where the critical points are (weather protection, openings, tie-ins to the existing house). That’s usually where quality is decided — not in the “big” moments people talk about.

Tie-ins to the existing house: where extensions win or lose

The most common mistake is treating an extension as a separate build. It isn’t. It’s part of your home and must work as one. We focus heavily on connections, alignments, and finishing so the result feels natural. That includes both exterior and interior:

  • Exterior: roof connection, facade lines, trims, proportions.
  • Interior: transitions, openings, levels, finishing details.
  • The feel: not “added on” — just… right.

Turnkey coordination or defined building service — you choose

Some clients want us to hold the whole project together. Others want help with a clearly defined scope. We can work both as turnkey coordination and as building service for a defined part. When multiple trades are needed, we can coordinate relevant steps so you don’t have to carry the logistics yourself. For work that requires specific authorization, we collaborate with the right qualified competence and keep the sequence working.

Either way, the point is the same: you should be the client — not the full-time project manager.

Permits and the municipality

Extensions can involve permit or notification requirements depending on scope and conditions. It’s best to bring this up early so planning stays safe and predictable. We can help you think through typical requirements and what kind of documentation is often requested, while the decision and handling are done through the municipality.

Local focus: Ängelholm Municipality

We’re local in Ängelholm Municipality and gladly take extension projects in Ängelholm and within the municipality — for example Hjärnarp, Munka-Ljungby, Vejbystrand, and Skälderviken. For the right assignment, we can sometimes extend to nearby municipalities, but our strength is being really strong locally.

Built locally since 2010 — and we do it properly

MJ Byggeri AB started in 2010. We’ve built locally long enough to know what makes the difference in real projects: communication, planning, order, and execution that holds up. We have contractor’s insurance and keep quality in focus — from the first measurements to the last finish. Share a short description of what you want to build and where in Ängelholm Municipality it is, and we’ll take the next step.

What is often included in an extension project?

An extension should work practically and fit the existing house visually. Typical scope includes:

  • planning flow, proportions and connection to the current building
  • coordinating steps in the right sequence
  • carpentry fitting and finishing that keeps a unified look
  • regular check-ins during the project in Ängelholm Municipality

FAQ

What counts as a home extension?

A home extension means increasing your home’s floor area by adding a new connected part of the building. It can be an extra room, a larger living area, a utility entrance, or a layout improvement. The key is that it must work with the existing house — in function, flow, and finishing — so it feels like it truly belongs.

How do you start an extension project?

Start with the goal: what should the new space solve? Then look at placement, flow, light, and how it connects to the current layout. A strong first step is sharing your idea, rough size, and location in Ängelholm Municipality. That helps us discuss the right setup, the next step, and what to think about early.

Can you coordinate the full project?

Yes, we can run the project as turnkey coordination when you want a clear flow from start to finish. We coordinate relevant trades and steps so you don’t have to manage the logistics yourself. For work requiring specific authorization, we collaborate with the right qualified competence. You choose the setup — our job is making the whole thing work.

Can you do only part of it?

Absolutely. Some clients want help with a clearly defined scope rather than the full project. In that case, clear boundaries matter: what’s included, what’s not, and what must be ready before the next step. We’re happy to help with carpentry/building work and a setup that’s easy to follow.

How long does an extension take?

It depends on size, conditions, and how many steps are included. Extensions often involve weather protection, tie-ins to the existing house, and material lead times. We work with ongoing check-ins so you know what’s happening and when. Share what you want to build, and we can talk through a realistic timeline.

Do you need a permit for extension?

You may need a permit or a notification depending on scope and conditions. Rules can vary, so it’s smart to address it early. We can help you think through typical requirements and what documentation is often requested, while the decision and handling are done through the municipality.

How do you match the existing house?

It’s about proportions, lines, and clean connections — not just “more space”. Roof tie-ins, facade lines, trims, window placement, and interior transitions must align. We focus on fit to the existing house and finishing that ties everything together. The goal is an extension that feels natural, not like an add-on.

Can you live at home during build?

Often yes, but it depends on where the extension connects and which steps are involved. Some phases can be more disruptive, especially when openings and tie-ins are made. We plan the sequence and use check-ins so you know in advance when different steps happen, which makes it easier to plan everyday life.

Do you work in Hjärnarp area?

Yes. We’re based in Hjärnarp and focus on Ängelholm Municipality. We gladly take extension projects in Ängelholm and within the municipality, for example Hjärnarp, Munka-Ljungby, Vejbystrand, and Skälderviken. For the right assignment, we can sometimes extend to nearby municipalities.

Do you have insurance for building?

Yes, we have contractor’s insurance. It’s part of working professionally and creating peace of mind in a project. If you have questions about setup, responsibility, or coordination when multiple trades are needed, we cover that in the first check-in. Clear early beats unclear later.
