Get started in 3 steps

  1. Free consultation and feasibility

    We walk the house with you, talk through what you want to change and give you honest ballpark numbers, including whether renovating beats rebuilding on your block.

  2. Design, estimate and permits

    We design the extension or renovation, price it clearly as the design firms up and handle the building permit and any planning requirements.

  3. Build and handover

    We carry out the works to a fixed-price contract, keep the site clean and liveable where you are staying in the home, and hand back a finished result.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a home extension cost in Melbourne?

Ground-floor extensions typically start from around $3,500 to $4,500 per square metre, and second-storey additions sit higher because of the structural work involved. We give you a realistic ballpark at the free consultation and a fixed price once the design is settled.

Should I renovate or knock down and rebuild?

It comes down to the condition of the home, how much you are changing and what the block allows. As both a renovation builder and a new home builder, we can price the two paths side by side so you can decide with real numbers rather than guesswork.

Can we live in the house during the renovation?

Often, yes. For rear extensions and staged renovations we can section off the work area and keep services running. For full renovations or second storeys it is usually faster and cheaper to move out for part of the build. We will give you a straight answer for your project.

Do I need a permit for an extension or renovation?

Structural work almost always needs a building permit, and heritage or neighbourhood character overlays can add a planning permit. We check what applies to your home and manage the approvals as part of the job.

Do you take on structural repairs and defect rectification?

Yes. We handle structural repairs, remediation and defect rectification, from cracked masonry and failed lintels through to larger underpinning and reblocking projects.
