I’m Extending A Closet To A Walk-in. There Is Existing Carpet In The Room. What Is The Best Way To Build It?
The room is carpeted and i am looking for a smooth transition once i add a door. Probably adding a regular door on hinges. I’m building it by exending existing walls already carpeted up to. What is the best way to go about this without ripping up all the carpet. Can i build over existing carpet..frame it right over it?

I would frame and trim right on top of the carpet.
When it comes time to replace the carpet, just run a blade along the trim, cutting away the old carpet.
Don’t worry about the old carpet and pad left trapped below the new wall.

When making a closet bigger, you could probably just cut the carpet and the padding where the door will be. I would suggest a lament flooring in the closet. Then when you are wanting to renovate the rest of the room you don’t have to worry about having to redo the closet.
That is what I did when I renovated my place. It’s beautiful, and in the future, when I want to take out the carpet in the rest of the room, I don’t have to worry about doing the closet.
Hope this helps!
