Home Extension FAQs South Brisbane
How much value does a home extension add in South Brisbane?
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?
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?
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?
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?
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?
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?
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?
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.
