Home Extension Builders

As experienced home extension builders, we manage the full process, from initial concept through to council approvals, engineering, and construction. Whether you need an extra bedroom, larger kitchen and dining area, or a second living zone, we’ll help you achieve it with quality workmanship and careful planning.

We regularly work with older weatherboard cottages, post-war homes, and newer brick builds. Our team ensures the new work integrates smoothly with the original structure, including matching materials, roofing lines, and window styles where possible. We also consider access, heritage constraints, and energy efficiency when preparing extension plans.

If your property is located in a bushfire-prone area or heritage overlay zone, we’ll guide you through the specific design and compliance requirements for your site.

Extension Renovations

Adding onto your home is a great opportunity to modernise outdated rooms, improve energy efficiency and update key features like insulation, glazing and electrical systems. We approach all extension renovations with a long-term view, ensuring the finished space not only looks great but functions well for years to come.

Depending on your needs, we can also incorporate upgrades like open-plan living, butler’s pantries, home offices, and indoor–outdoor connections. If your home is on a steep block, we’ll work with you to explore split-level options or terraced layouts that suit your land. Our solutions are practical, locally informed, and designed to work with the conditions unique to your property.

Many of our clients also combine an extension with other renovations, such as new kitchens or bathrooms. By planning your project as a whole, we can deliver better results and often save time and cost across trades. For example, if you’re considering affordable kitchen renovations, we can build the kitchen into your new extension footprint or redesign your existing one for better flow.
