Capital Building clients Mr. and Mrs. S had a clear idea of their perfect extension and renovation After speaking with a number of builders about their various options they settled
on Capital Building to help them design and build their dream home extension and renovation.
It didn’t take us long to realise our collaboration would produce a very special extension and renovation; indeed, a transformation.
After meeting with Capitals designer, the owners were happy to learn we could translate their vision into a real world design and within their budget.
Further consultations with the designer and some redrafts incorporating the owners’ requirements and lifestyle needs, created a new home of generous proportion’s, flowing spaces and aesthetic symmetry.
A further and important part of the owners brief was to integrate the new works, unobtrusively but subtly, changing the style of the house to a modern take on the federation style.
The general scope of works was to add a second storey with 4 Bedrooms, a gallery and bathroom.
To move the basement stairs and remove ground floor walls to provide large dining, living areas merging onto a new, large alfresco balcony.
Also a new Kitchen with large separate pantry and a new ensuite were added,
including replacement and alteration of all existing windows, flooring and ceilings.
A redesign of the basement, waterproofing, drainage and a refurbished, new laundry, store and study.
Clearly this was a complete make over, with no surface left untouched, straightening of old floors, walls, cladding, ceilings, doors and finishes were all re -worked to achieve a new home finish. The result speaks for itself. This 80 year old home is now ready to last another 80 years.

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.
