Question Icon
  • How long does it take to build a home extension?

    Timelines depend on the type of extension. A single-room addition could take around 8–12 weeks, while larger or double-storey extensions can extend over several months. Weather delays, council approvals, and unexpected site conditions may add time. Having a clear plan and communication with your builder helps keep everything on schedule.

  • Do house extensions require council approval?

    Most house extensions require council approval, especially if structural changes, setbacks, or height increases are involved. Each local council has its own regulations, so it’s important to check early. Plans and permits usually need to be lodged before construction begins to ensure compliance with building codes and zoning rules.

  • What type of extension adds the most value?

    Extensions that improve livability and flow often add the most value. Adding bedrooms, creating open-plan living spaces, or building a second storey are all attractive to buyers. Outdoor entertainment areas also perform well. Choosing quality finishes and ensuring the extension blends seamlessly with your existing home maximises both lifestyle benefits and resale value.

Seamless Designs That Fit

House extensions aren’t just about more room — they’re about smarter living. A well-planned extension ensures flow between old and new spaces, keeping your home cohesive and functional. From second-storey additions to extra living zones, extensions can be tailored to match your lifestyle needs, budget, and future growth plans, while adding lasting value.
