The giveaway on a bad extension is the join — a roofline that does not resolve, brickwork that does not match, a floor level half a step out. Getting that right is detail work, and it starts in design, not on site.
We survey the existing structure first: footings, frame, roof and services. That tells us what the house can carry and what has to be upgraded before anything new goes on top. Then we design the addition to tie into it cleanly.
Additions almost always need Development Approval. We prepare and lodge it, coordinate the engineering, and manage the council process on your behalf.

How it works
Four clear stages, one point of contact
You deal with the same person from first conversation to final handover — no call centres, no shifting goalposts.
01
Consultation & survey
We walk the house with you and survey what is already there — footings, frame, roof and services — before anything is drawn.
02
Design & approvals
Concept drawings refined with you, then Development Approval lodged and managed on your behalf.
03
Fixed price build
A fixed price quote and programme before work starts, then trades coordinated to that schedule.
04
Handover & warranty
Final inspection walked through together, documentation handed over, and Home Warranty on the work.
