Transform Your Albion Home with Expert Extensions

Albion's diverse housing stock suits various extension types including open-plan kitchen and living area expansions, additional bedrooms and bathrooms for growing families, second-storey additions to maximise smaller land parcels, home office spaces (increasingly popular in Albion), and covered outdoor entertaining areas. We design each extension to suit your specific property style, whether it's a traditional Queenslander, post-war home, or contemporary build.

Most home extensions in Albion require development approval from Brisbane City Council, particularly for structural changes, increased building footprint, or second-storey additions. Minor internal alterations may not require approval. We assess your specific project during consultation and manage the entire approval process including application preparation, council liaison, and obtaining all necessary certifications and building permits.

Extension costs vary significantly based on scope. Single-room ground extensions typically start from $85,000-$100,000. Larger open-plan living extensions range $130,000-$180,000. Second-storey additions generally cost $180,000-$280,000+. Final pricing depends on size, materials, structural requirements, and finish specifications. We provide detailed, itemised quotes with transparent pricing and no hidden costs.

Yes, most Albion clients remain in their homes during construction. We establish dedicated work zones, install dust barriers, maintain site cleanliness, and schedule noisy activities during business hours to minimise disruption. For extensive works or full second-storey builds, brief relocation during critical structural phases may be advisable. We discuss living arrangements thoroughly during planning.

Timeline depends on project complexity. Simple single-room extensions take approximately 10-14 weeks from approval to completion. Larger extensions require 14-20 weeks. Second-storey additions may take 20-30 weeks. Add 6-12 weeks for council approval processes before construction begins. We provide realistic timelines during your consultation and maintain regular communication throughout the project.

Quality extensions typically add substantial value to Albion properties, often exceeding the renovation investment.

We design extensions that enhance both your lifestyle and property marketability, considering current Albion real estate trends.
