Premium Home Extensions in Herston

Most home extensions in Herston require Brisbane City Council development approval, particularly if you're adding structural elements, changing building footprint, or building a second storey. Some minor extensions may qualify for complying development. We handle all council applications and approvals on your behalf, ensuring full compliance with local planning schemes and building codes.

Timeline varies by project scope. A single-room ground-floor extension typically takes 8-12 weeks from approval to completion. Larger extensions or second-storey additions may take 16-24 weeks. Council approval processes add 6-10 weeks before construction begins. We provide detailed timelines during the design phase and keep you informed throughout the project.

For major structural work or full second-storey additions, temporary relocation for key stages may be recommended. We discuss living arrangements during your consultation.
