Professional Home Extensions in Lutwyche

Most home extensions in Lutwyche require development approval from Brisbane City Council, especially for structural changes, building footprint increases, or second-storey additions. Minor internal alterations may not require formal approval. We assess your specific project during consultation and manage all necessary council applications including preparation, lodgement, planner liaison, and obtaining building permits and certifications for your Lutwyche extension.

Yes, most Lutwyche 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. For extensive renovations or second-storey builds, brief relocation during critical structural phases may be recommended. We discuss living arrangements thoroughly during planning to ensure your comfort throughout the project.
