Ground floor extensions

A ground-floor extension is a cost-effective way to add space and incorporate a modern open-plan living style into your home. Our holistic approach considers factors such as room layout, storage space and the flow from your home to alfresco areas.

If you have a sloped or graded block, you can rely on our split-level home-building experience. We will help you to maximise your indoor and outdoor living spaces.

Second Storey extensions

A second-storey extension is an excellent option for those who need more space without increasing the footprint of their home or where land is at a premium.

As experienced home extension builders in Melbourne, we specialise in seamless second-storey additions that blend beautifully with the original house. Our experience working with blocks that have tight access or are uniquely shaped means we can confidently approach unique and challenging builds.

When you work directly with the builder, you have the opportunity to be in regular contact with the person directly responsible for the project. This more personal relationship allows for greater attention to detail and flexibility such as being able to stay in your home during the build if possible.

Your renovations will be carefully planned to make the most of your building timeline so you can enjoy your new space sooner. If you’re utilising our drafting service, you can trust our draftsman to develop innovative plans that maximise the benefits of your joint renovation and extension project.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does an extension cost in Melbourne?

Allow between $2500 and $5000 per square metre. A second storey may cost approximately another 30% again. Read our blog to explore the costs of extending your home in more detail.

How do I find a good extension builder?

Look for a registered building practitioner (like us) to ensure that they are qualified and will build to Australian standards. Extensions require extra care and consideration compared to new or volume builds. Lastly, take the time to consult with a builder before going ahead. You can book a no-obligation consultation with us to discuss your project.

Is it cheaper to build new or extend?

When you extend, you’ll save on renting costs as you won’t have to move out of your home for an extended period, like when you knock down and rebuild. A house extension allows you to retain the charm of your home but improve its liveability. It can also increase the value of your home and, in the case of period homes, access a market when the demand for modernised period homes is high.

Do I need planning permission for my house extension?

The need for planning permission depends on the scope of work and your council. During the planning phase, we can support you through the planning permission process.
