Our Process
How We Deliver Your Home Extension
Home extensions involve more planning and approvals than standard renovations. Our structured process ensures nothing is missed, from initial feasibility through to final handover.
Site Assessment & Feasibility
We inspect your property, check council overlays, assess structural capacity, and determine what's possible on your block before any design work begins.
Design, Engineering & Approvals
Architectural plans, structural engineering, and council submissions handled by our team. We manage the approval process so you don't have to chase council.
Foundation & Build
Footings poured, frame erected, roof connected to existing structure, services extended. The new space takes shape while we protect your existing home from dust and disruption.
Integration & Handover
New and old are connected seamlessly — matching flooring, paint, and finishes. The extension should feel like it was always part of the house, not an addition.

Renovate While You Extend
Many of our extension clients take the opportunity to renovate existing rooms at the same time. Combining your extension with a kitchen, bathroom, or whole-home renovation can save time and ensure a cohesive result.

Common Home Extension Questions
How much does a home extension cost on the Gold Coast?
Home extension costs on the Gold Coast vary significantly based on size and complexity. Ground floor room additions typically start from $80,000-$150,000, second storey additions from $150,000-$300,000+, and granny flats from $120,000-$200,000. These ranges include council approvals, engineering, and construction. We provide detailed fixed-price quotes after a thorough site assessment.
How long does a home extension take to build?
Home extensions typically take 8-20 weeks of construction time, depending on size and complexity. Ground floor additions are usually 8-12 weeks, while second storey additions may take 14-20 weeks. Allow an additional 4-8 weeks prior to construction for design, engineering, and council approvals.
Do you handle council approvals for home extensions?
Yes, we manage the entire approval process from start to finish. This includes preparing architectural drawings, engaging structural engineers, submitting Development Applications (DA) and Building Applications (BA) to the City of Gold Coast, and coordinating with private building certifiers. We keep you informed at every stage.
Can you add a second storey to my existing home?
In most cases, yes. Second storey additions are one of our core services. We begin with a structural assessment of your existing home to determine what reinforcement may be needed. Our designs ensure the new level integrates seamlessly with the existing architecture, both structurally and aesthetically.
Will a home extension match my existing home?
Seamless integration is a priority in every extension we build. We carefully match rooflines, cladding, window styles, and interior finishes so the extension looks like it was always part of the home. Our designers work closely with you to ensure architectural consistency throughout.
Can I live in my home during a home extension?
For most ground floor extensions and granny flats, yes. We stage the work to minimise disruption and maintain safe access to your home. Second storey additions may require temporary relocation during certain phases, particularly when the existing roof is removed. We discuss this during the planning stage so you can prepare.
