Canberra's Home Extension Experts

Our speciality is major home renovations and extensions costing $150,000 and over. We have dedicated quote specialists who will prepare a unique tender for your Canberra home extension based on the particular requirements of your project. Your extension will be custom designed by our in-house design team and will be tailored to suit your needs and your budget. 

When considering the cost of your home extension it’s important to look at it as an investment rather than a simple expense. Our custom home extensions are designed to add value to your property, both in terms of enhancing your lifestyle and increasing the monetary value of your home. 

We’ll provide you with an upfront quote with no hidden fees or costs so you’ll know exactly how much your Canberra home extension will cost before commencing your project. 

Our home extension projects can take from 3 to 6 months to complete depending on complexity. We’ll give you a personalised timeframe for completion so you can make plans. We’ve developed a 26-week renovation contract and a streamlined eight-step process for home extension projects. 

1. FREE site inspection. Our experienced Canberra renovation builders will conduct a thorough on-site inspection free of charge to assess your property’s renovation options.
   
2. FREE feasibility study. We’ll assess the feasibility of your renovation project and identify any potential roadblocks and council requirements to make sure we don’t hit any unexpected delays or expenses.

3. Tender. Now that our team has a clear picture of your renovation needs and practicalities we’ll provide you with a detailed tender and quote.

4. Contract and finance. We’ll provide you with an industry-leading HIA and Master Builders Australia compliance contract and, if needed, provide details to your financial institution to assist with the financing process. Once you’ve signed your contract and paid your deposit the work can begin!

5. Settlement and selections. Let’s get to work! At this stage, you’ll be able to work with our experienced design team to select colours, finishes and design elements to complete your home extension.

6. Approvals and certification. Our experienced in-house council planning team will take care of council approval and certifications for you to help get your Canberra home extension completed sooner.

7. Construction. Our Canberra renovation builders will build your home extension and your dedicated site supervisor will keep you up to date on progress and answer any questions you may have about your project.

It depends on the work being done and which areas of your house will be impacted by construction. For instance, if your electricity or plumbing will be disconnected for extended periods we recommend staying elsewhere as this can make things difficult. 

If you’re adding a storey to your home you will probably need to find alternative accommodation while the roof is converted.

We’ll provide you with a detailed timeline for your home extension so you can make informed decisions about if and when to vacate your home during the extension process. Our experienced local Canberra extension builders will go out of their way to minimise the impact on your day to day life and your dedicated site manager will keep you updated on building activities. 

Many of us have faced the question “to move or extend” in our lives, and while there is no cut and dry answer to that question there are a number of distinct benefits to extending rather than moving. 

• Affordability. A major home renovation costs just a fraction of the price of a new home, with the added bonus of none of your investment being siphoned into administrative costs like stamp duty. In fact, home extensions often cost about the same amount as stamp duty on a new home.

• Stay where your memories were made. If you already love where you live but need more room to grow an extension can enable you to stay in your beloved home close to family, friends and schools with no need to start all over again.

• Add value to your home. A home extension is an investment in your future. A renovation can add serious value to your home, putting you in a better financial situation and making your property worth more when it comes time to sell or downsize.

We’ve helped countless Canberrans turn their home into their forever home and we’d be thrilled to do the same for you.
