Home Extension FAQs for Brisbane City Residents
Do I need council approval for a home extension in Brisbane City?
Yes, most home extensions in Brisbane City require development approval and building approval from Brisbane City Council. The extent of approval needed depends on the size, location, and whether your property is in a character or heritage area. We handle all council applications on your behalf.
How long does it take to build a home extension in Brisbane City?
A typical ground floor extension takes 3-6 months from council approval to completion. Second storey additions usually take 6-9 months. Council approval can add 2-4 months. We provide a detailed timeline during the design phase and keep you informed throughout the process.
Can I stay in my home during the extension construction?
Yes, most Brisbane City families remain in their homes during extension work. We implement strategies to minimise disruption, create dust barriers, maintain access to essential areas, and work around your schedule. We'll discuss the best approach for your specific project.
What's the difference between ground floor and second storey extensions?
Ground floor extensions expand outward on your existing level and are generally less expensive ($2,500-$4,000/sqm). Second storey additions build upward, preserve yard space, and offer better views but cost more ($3,500-$5,500/sqm) due to structural requirements and access challenges.
Will a home extension increase my property value in Brisbane City?
Yes, well-designed extensions typically add significant value to Brisbane City properties. Adding a bedroom, bathroom, or quality living space can increase value by $100,000-$300,000+, often exceeding the construction cost. Inner-city location makes extensions particularly valuable.
What are the heritage requirements for Brisbane City extensions?
Many Brisbane City properties are in character or heritage overlays. Extensions must respect existing architecture, use appropriate materials, and maintain street character. We specialise in designing extensions that comply with heritage requirements while creating modern, functional spaces.
Should I extend or move to a bigger house?
Extending is often more cost-effective than moving when you consider stamp duty, agent fees, moving costs, and settling into a new area. If you love your Brisbane City location, schools, and community, extending lets you stay while getting the space you need.
How much does a home extension cost in Brisbane City?
Brisbane City home extensions typically cost $100,000-$400,000+ depending on size, design complexity, and finishes. A single-room ground floor extension might cost $80,000-$150,000, while a full second storey could be $300,000-$500,000+. We provide detailed quotes based on your specific requirements.
