House Extensions
Extensions are structural work. We plan the tie-in to the existing home, frame it square, get it weathertight quickly and finish it so the new space feels like it was always there.
An extension only works if the structure, the tie-in and the finishing detail are all right. We treat extensions as a complete build: plan review first, then framing, lock-up and finishing carpentry delivered in a sequence that keeps the existing home protected.
Extension work we take on
- Rear and ground-floor extensions
- Second-storey additions
- Open-plan living conversions
- Garage and alfresco conversions
- Extension framing and lock-up packages for builders

House Extensions - your questions
+Do you handle plans and permits for extensions?
We work alongside draftspeople, engineers and building surveyors, and where a project requires a registered building practitioner we work in conjunction with appropriately licensed professionals.
+Can we stay in the home during an extension?
Often yes. Most extensions are built alongside the existing home with the tie-in staged so disruption is kept short.
