Expert Home Extensions in Kelvin Grove

Kelvin Grove homeowners frequently request kitchen and living area expansions, additional bedrooms for growing families, second-storey additions to maximise land use, home office spaces (popular with QUT staff and students), and covered outdoor entertainment areas suited to Brisbane's climate. We design each extension to suit your property's style and your family's needs.

Most home extensions in Kelvin Grove require development approval from Brisbane City Council, especially for structural changes, increased building footprint, or second-storey additions. Some minor works may qualify as accepted development. We manage the entire approval process including lodgement, council liaison, and obtaining necessary certifications.

Second-storey additions generally cost $180,000-$320,000+. We provide detailed, transparent quotes with all costs itemised including design, approvals, construction, and finishes.

For extensive renovations or second-storey builds, brief relocation during critical phases may be recommended. We discuss living arrangements thoroughly during planning.
