Canberra Home Extensions & Additions Services

Types of Home Extensions

From simple, single-storey extensions to second-storey additions, we work across a range of different home extensions in Canberra. Some of the most popular types of home additions and extensions in Canberra that we provide, include:

Single Storey Extensions

Single-storey additions are an economical way to add space to your home without the need to add stairs and reinforcements to the structure. Single-storey structures allow for flexibility in layouts, ceiling heights, and designs to meet your desired project outcome.

Two Storey Extensions

Two storey our double-storey home extensions (going upstairs or downstairs) can add significant value to your property. Our engineering and design team work closely to ensure that your second storey home extension meets all of the required building codes.

Rear Extensions

Rear extensions are the most cost-effective way to add more space to your single or multi-storey property. Rear extensions allow you to add new rooms, outdoor/indoor entertaining spaces, and storage that increases the liveability of your home and meets your changing lifestyle demands.

Wrap Around Extensions

Wrap around extensions or L-shape extensions are the perfect way to add width your single-storey or two-storey property. Depending on the size of your home and the size of your land, wrap around extensions can add as much as 50m2 of new, usable space to your home.

Garage Conversions

Whether you no longer have need for your garage, or you have an oversized garage that could be used for entertainment or living, we can work with you to create a valuable home addition in this existing space.

Sunrooms

Sunroom extensions, conservatories, or glass rooms as they are commonly known are the perfect way to combine the warmth or the outdoors with the natural comfort of an indoor room. Sunroom extensions are the perfect way to create an indoor-outdoor space that can be used through Canberra’s varied climate.  

Canberra Home Extensions Process

Our Five Step Extension Process

1. Initial Consultation

Our initial meeting allows us to discuss your goals, inspect your property, and discuss potential ideas for home extensions. We’ll review your ideas, notes, and design preferences to complete an initial feasibility assessment.

2. Concept & Pricing

The concept and pricing phase allows our team to review your goals, your designs, and your budget to determine the best approach for your home extensions. This concept and pricing phase ensures that your goals and budget are aligned with what is possible for your home.

3. Planning & Design

Once we’ve agreed on the scope, timeframe, and budget for your home extension project, it’s time to get to work. During this phase, we plan development applications (DA), building approvals, and get to work sourcing materials for your project.

4. Building & Construction

When building begins, it’s time for our team to get to work building your home extensions. We partner with a trusted network of trades and contractors to ensure that all of the electrical and plumbing, as well as materials are sourced on your behalf to achieve the best possible outcome.

5. Handover

Once we’ve completed your Canberra home extension project, it’s time to hand over the keys. We will do a comprehensive walkthrough and provide you with all of the necessary compliance and certification documents in-line with local and council regulations. Once we’re out of your hair – it’s time to enjoy your new home extensions.

Home Addition FAQs - Answered

How much do home extensions cost?

The cost for home extensions in Canberra will ultimately come down to the type (refer to our list above) and extent of the additions to your property. Following an initial consultation, we’ll work with you to provide a project budget and estimate.

As a rule of thumb, larger, more elaborate extensions attract a premium versus modest additions. Larger home additions can also require significant planning and approval before commencing.

Will I need building approval?

Yes, building approval and development applications (DA) are generally required for external renovations such as home additions and extensions. While not all renovations require council approval, any major structural changes to your home or extensions to the rear wall or height will generally require a development application to be submitted to your local council.

How long do home additions take to complete?

The average building times for home extensions in Canberra will range depending on the size and scope of your home additions. Some projects can be completed in 3-6 months, while other projects can take more than 12-months to complete.

Can I still live in the property while you build?

Whether or not you can stay in your property during building will depend on the nature of the renovations. Structural works or second storey additions will require you to leave your property while building takes place. On the flip side, for single-storey home extensions, sunrooms, garage conversions, and other extension projects, you may be able to remain in your property while construction is happening.
