When planning an addition, there are many necessary items to consider, such as region, market demand, craftsmanship, style, and materials. The answers to these will determine the return on your investment. Some additions, like a second bathroom, will return most if not all of your investment. Other additions, like adding offices or additional suites, may or may not. The most important consideration is to plan your improvement to align with the other homes in your neighborhood. You can add a full marble bath with gold-plated fixtures in a tile bath neighborhood, but the likelihood of recouping your full investment is unlikely.
The whole point of many additions is to satisfy your need for comfort and beauty. If making your investment back when you sell is not a primary consideration, and you have the time and money to spend, do what satisfies you. There are building codes, but no specific rules for design. If that full marble bath makes you happy, go for it!
A house addition, unlike many remodeling projects, will probably require permits. The assistance of an architect or designer will help you avoid making costly, time-consuming mistakes. Their design skills and specialized training allow them to offer solutions as well as come up with interesting, unusual, and effective materials to save money and time. You will benefit when a pro takes your needs and tailors your new addition to meet your unique requirements.

Life in Montana's mountainous western area differs greatly from that on its eastern plains. Across the eastern half of the state stretch broad sections of the Great Plains, drained by the Missouri River, which originates in SW Montana, and by its tributaries, the Milk, the Marias, the Sun, and especially the Yellowstone. Much of Montana's western boundary is marked by the crest of the lofty Bitterroot Range, part of the Rocky Mts., which dominate the western section of the state and along which runs the Continental Divide. Montana's very name is derived from the Spanish word montaña, meaning mountain country.
