    Hi Mani, Depends where you are building and what the building department needs for a permit. You need a plan showing what is going to be built. Contact the city building and planning department. If there is none, then find a contractor who can help you. If you can work on your own house, check with a technical school to get ideas. An architect will be a good choice if you can afford it. Good Luck NM
