At Cubitt’s, we specialise in major home additions and extensions including second story extensions and attached Granny Flats. Due to the high demand for our quality workmanship and efficient in house teams, we are prioritising home extensions that have a budget of $250k or more. The cost of your project will depend on the amount of work involved and will be calculated based on your unique requirements. Every one of our home extensions is designed, quoted and constructed by our in-house team allowing us to have full control over your building costs. We’ll work with you to come up with a home extension that ticks all the boxes and comes in on budget. 

We employ dedicated in-house quote specialists who will put together a tailored quote for your home extension. Your unique quote will cover all associated costs for your project and will be delivered to you prior to commencing work so you’ll get an extremely clear understanding of the costs involved. We never charge any hidden fees or surprise clients with hidden costs, so you know you can trust that the figure we quote upfront is exactly what you’ll pay.

Absolutely, we have a dedicated council planning team who will handle all approvals on your behalf. You won’t need to worry about going through DA or organising Building and Occupation Certificates – we’ll do it all for you! The council approval process can be confusing, with different councils setting different standards on what does and doesn’t require approval, and we find one of the things that most commonly puts off potential renovators is the prospect of going through the sometimes tedious council approvals process. Thankfully with Cubitt’s, you can sit back and relax while we handle everything from bushfire safety reports to liaising with council for you – all you have to do is look forward to enjoying your new home extension!

Major home additions and renovations typically take about 6 months to complete. This timeframe can be impacted by council approvals, planning, waiting on materials and availability of labour. 

At Cubitt’s, we’ve developed a 26-week contract for our home extensions so you’ll know exactly where your project is up to at all times. Thanks to our long-established relationships with local suppliers and our vast team of in-house builders and specialists, we’re able to provide a smooth, streamlined home extensions process.

Our 8 step process will see your home extension go from vision to reality in just 6 months, with everything from feasibility studies to certification and construction conducted by our in-house team. 

Once you’ve given us your design specifications, budget and selected your finishing touches you can leave the rest to us.

The short answer is yes, sometimes. Your ability to stay in your home during the renovation process depends on the amount of work being done and which areas of your home will be impacted. For instance, if you’re having a first floor home addition installed you will need to vacate your home while the roof conversion is in progress. 

An important factor to consider is which facilities will be impacted by the renovation and what you can easily live with. Will your kitchen or bathroom be out of action for an extended period? Can you make do with only using half the rooms in your home? If you’re able to live comfortably with some of your rooms out of action then there’s no reason you can’t live in your home while the extension is underway.

At Cubitt’s, we’ll provide you with a detailed timeline of your home extension along with the potential impact it will have on your daily routine so you can make an informed decision about whether to stay or go during the building process. 

It’s the question everyone asks when they outgrow their current home – to renovate or to move house? Whether you’re expecting the arrival of a new family member or want to upgrade your home to the one you’ve always dreamed of, it all boils down to whether you improve your current home with an addition or move to a different property. 

While every family and every home is different, there are several distinct advantages to extending or renovating your home rather than moving. 

• Stay where your memories were made. Your home is so much more than bricks and mortar, it’s where you brought your babies home to, where you’ve celebrated milestones and enjoyed countless precious moments. Home extensions let you stay living where you love but with more room to grow. 
• Stay connected to your community.  You’ve spent years building relationships in your community, so moving away and starting fresh is a daunting prospect. From settling the kids into new schools to making new friends and joining new sports teams, a lot of energy goes into building community connections. 
• Stay with your service providers. Moving house often means having to find new doctors, hairdressers, dentists, physios…the list goes on and on! 
• Keep a mortgage you can afford. Taking on a new home loan is costly and can cause a lot of financial strain. By staying in your current home you can maintain a manageable mortgage while still upgrading your lifestyle. 
• Increase the value of your property. While you’re not moving home now you may eventually want to downsize, so home extensions aren’t just an investment in your lifestyle, they’re a financial investment for the future. Plus, you’ll increase the value of your home and improve your financial position and potentially increase your borrowing capacity. 
• Avoid the stress of moving home. Moving house is widely regarded as one of the most taxing and stressful experiences in life. Between packing your whole life into boxes to arranging finances, juggling paperwork and then unpacking everything at the other end, it’s much simpler to stay where you are and bring your dream home to you with a home addition.
