Professional Home Extensions in Northgate

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

Extension costs in Northgate vary based on project scope and specifications. Basic single-room ground additions start from $80,000-$90,000. Larger open-plan kitchen and living extensions range $120,000-$180,000. Second-storey additions typically cost $180,000-$280,000+. Final pricing depends on size, materials, structural requirements, finishes, and site conditions. We provide comprehensive itemised quotes with transparent pricing and fixed-price contracts for budget security.

Yes, most Northgate clients remain in their homes throughout construction. We establish dedicated work zones, install dust barriers, maintain daily site cleanliness, and schedule noisy work during standard business hours. For extensive renovations or second-storey builds requiring major structural work, brief relocation during critical phases may be advisable. We discuss all living arrangement options thoroughly during the planning stage to ensure your comfort.

Project duration depends on complexity. Simple single-room extensions typically take 10-14 weeks from approval to completion. Larger extensions require 14-22 weeks. Second-storey additions may take 20-32 weeks. Brisbane City Council approval processes add 6-12 weeks before construction starts. We provide realistic timelines during consultation and keep you regularly informed throughout your Northgate extension project with progress updates.
