Need more space in your South Brisbane home? Queensland Renovations creates beautifully designed home extensions that add functional living areas and substantial property value to properties throughout this sought-after inner-city precinct. From compact worker's cottages along Vulture Street to renovated Queenslanders near South Bank Parklands, we specialise in extending South Brisbane homes while respecting neighbourhood character and maximising your block's potential. South Brisbane's transformation into a cultural and lifestyle hub—home to QPAC, GOMA, the Queensland Museum, and the vibrant Fish Lane dining precinct—has made it one of Brisbane's most desirable suburbs. Our South Brisbane extension team understands the unique opportunities and constraints of inner-city living. We navigate heritage overlays in character precincts near Melbourne Street, manage compact site access in dense areas around Grey Street, and design extensions that complement your home's existing style while creating light-filled, modern spaces perfect for Brisbane's subtropical lifestyle. Whether you need an extra bedroom for a growing family near South Brisbane State School, an expanded living area opening onto a courtyard garden, a dedicated home office for professionals working remotely, or multi-generational space to accommodate elderly parents, we deliver extensions that integrate seamlessly with your South Brisbane property. The suburb's excellent public transport—including South Brisbane train station and the upcoming Brisbane Metro—combined with walking distance to the CBD makes staying and extending far more attractive than relocating. Our comprehensive service includes architectural design respecting South Brisbane's built character, Brisbane City Council approvals including heritage consultations where required, structural engineering for older homes, quality construction by QBCC licensed builders, and thorough handover. We've extended homes throughout South Brisbane's diverse streetscapes, from the apartment-lined riverside to the character homes near Boundary Street, ensuring a smooth process from concept to completion.

Home Extension FAQs South Brisbane

How much value does a home extension add in South Brisbane?expand_more

Quality extensions in South Brisbane typically add $150,000-$350,000 in property value, often exceeding construction costs. Inner-city location and demand for additional bedrooms/living space make extensions highly valuable investments.

Can I build a second storey in South Brisbane?expand_more

Yes, second storey additions are possible in South Brisbane, though some properties have height restrictions or heritage overlays. We assess your property's potential and advise on what's achievable under current council regulations.

What's the best type of extension for a small South Brisbane block?expand_more

For compact blocks, second storey additions are ideal as they preserve yard space. Alternatively, well-designed ground floor extensions can maximise space while maintaining outdoor areas. We'll recommend the best solution for your specific property.

Do I need a structural engineer for my South Brisbane extension?expand_more

Yes, all extensions require structural engineering to ensure safety and compliance. We engage qualified structural engineers as part of our service to design foundations, structural supports, and certify the work meets building codes.

How do you minimize disruption during construction?expand_more

We create dust barriers, maintain access to essential areas, schedule noisy work considerately, and communicate daily progress. Most South Brisbane families stay in their homes during extensions with minimal disruption to daily routines.

What happens if we discover issues during construction?expand_more

Unexpected issues like termite damage or structural concerns are handled transparently. We assess the problem, provide cost and time implications, and seek your approval before proceeding. Our experience minimizes surprises through thorough pre-construction inspections.

Can you match materials to my existing South Brisbane home?expand_more

Absolutely. We specialize in matching existing materials, finishes, and architectural details to create seamless extensions. For heritage homes, we source period-appropriate materials while incorporating modern functionality.

What's included in your extension quote?expand_more

Our detailed quotes include design, engineering, council fees, all materials, labour, project management, and building insurance. We itemize costs clearly so you understand exactly what you're paying for with no hidden charges.
