Home Extensions

A home extension involves adding additional space to your existing home, expanding its size and accommodating your changing needs without the need for moving.

Capital Building offer a variety of home extension options, including rear extensions, side extensions, loft conversions, basement conversions, and multi-story extensions, depending on your specific requirements and property layout.

The need for planning permission depends on factors such as the size and location of the property and the proposal, along with property covenants and overlays.. Our team will assess your project and advise you on the necessary permits and planning regulations.

The duration of a home extension project varies depending on its size and complexity. Typically, the planning and design phase takes 3-4 months, excluding town planning approval if that’s required. Depending on the scope of the project, construction might take 6 months for a smaller and simpler build and up to 9 months or more, for larger and more complex builds.

Yes, Capital Building offer design and build services to plan and visualise your home extension. Our team of designers can provide free, no obligation concept designs and budgets, which can be formalised into professional drawings by Architectural Draftspeople.

To get started, you can contact us to schedule an initial consultation. Our team will visit your property, assess your needs, discuss design ideas, provide an estimate, and guide you through the next steps.

Depending on the scope of the extension and the level of disruption, it may be possible to live in your home during the construction. However, there may be certain periods where temporary accommodation is recommended or required.

Typically, house extensions cost $3500-$4500 per square metre. This cost will change based on your build preferences. The most accurate way to find out how much your extension will cost is to get a free quote.
