House Extensions in Melbourne

Why consider building a home extension?

Home extensions are a reliable way of creating much-needed space in a pre-existing property. If you’re looking to create a space that will keep up with a growing family, or simply want to optimise your home without the hassle of relocating home extensions offer a more cost effective and efficient alternative. This allows you to customise any additions as you see fit, giving you more flexibility and control on how you want the house to be changed. Additionally, building extensions add value to your house in the long run.

House extension costs

Each home extension will have different requirements and with it, varying budgetary limitations. In general, an average sized home extension costs between $200,000 and $400,000. Second storey extensions tend to be slightly cheaper than a ground floor extension. This is because a second storey doesn’t involve foundation work and other related expenses. The main factors contributing to the price of the home extension are:

• Size of your house
• Whether you are adding another floor
• Quality of materials used
• Appliances and fittings featured in your design
• Permit and regulation costs
• Costs of hiring external professionals
• Demolition costs – including removal of hazardous materials

That’s why we take the time to understand your needs so we can tailor the perfect package just for you.

Our house extension costs are affordable, meaning everyone can enjoy the peace of mind that comes from going with the best.

Other home extension cost considerations

There can be a range of other factors to consider such as heating and air conditioning, number of bathrooms and kitchens, cost of higher quality material, and furnishing expenses, to name a few. Furthermore, if you’re adding an extra bathroom or kitchen you would need to account for plumbing, bathroom and kitchen fittings as well. Bathrooms and kitchens are usually the most expensive extensions for this reason, followed by living spaces and bedrooms.

Saving on extension costs

It’s important for you to consider all the different elements that will go into your building extensions. One of the biggest factors that will affect the bill will be the size of the extension itself. Looking at a possible smaller extension space could slash a noticeable chunk off your expenses. Alternatively, you could look at converting your garage to a room which would be a cheaper solution. Whichever project you decide to undertake, we have an enthusiastic team of specialists to help you re-craft your perfect home.

Is building a home extension worth it?

Our team understands that no home is truly stagnant. As such, it’s important for your home to be able to meet your needs on a daily basis. For some, this means refreshing your space with a quality renovation project, while for others it means optimising and expanding the space with a hearty house extension.

As master builders, we believe in the power of a quality home extension. Our home extensions are intricately plotted to increase your home’s liveability, but also to stand the test of time. 

Compared to moving to a larger house in a different location, building extensions are both cost-effective and time-saving. You can save on a lot of relocation costs including marketing the home, real estate agents, conveyancing, repairs, cleaning and moving. This also means your family life will experience minimal disruption. Ultimately, an extension also contributes to the property’s overall value, a sound investment should your circumstances change along the line. 

How much additional value can a house extension add to a property?

It is difficult to estimate the exact amount of how much value a house extension will add to your home as this can also depend on your location and the market value of your property. It also differs based on whether it is a bathroom, kitchen, living room or bedroom extension. Interestingly, we find that having an extra bedroom adds the most value to the home. This may be something you want to consider if you are renovating and planning to sell your home, as it’s good to know what buyers are willing to pay extra for.
