Extend your home
Spread your wings with a single-storey extension
Do you need more living space, an extra bedroom or a second bathroom to accommodate your growing family? While a ground-level extension relies on stealing some of your outdoor space, it’s the simplest and most cost-effective way to extend.
Consider the current location of the power, stormwater and water mains
Make sure living spaces are accessible from the entrance or hallway, and locate the bedrooms near a bathroom
Think about how the roof on the extension will work with the existing one
Grow up with a second storey
While adding an upper level requires a bigger budget, it’s a great option if you don’t want to sacrifice your garden or will end up with an amazing view.
Extensive structural work is needed to ensure your existing home will handle the added weight
Consider the impact on the existing room below and the new space above when locating the internal stairs

Excavate to create a basement level
Some properties are ideally suited for creating a basement level, another good option if you want to avoid losing outdoor space. You can include internal access or leave the new area as separate, self-contained accommodation.
You’ll need a geotechnical survey, and civil, engineering and foundation work will be required
To ensure your new space is completely liveable, the basement will need to be watertight with adequate light and ventilation
We know planning your extension can be stressful and overwhelming at times, so we keep you in the loop with regular updates, use quality materials and will finish your project on time and on budget.
