Add a stunning second storey to your Fig Tree Pocket home and unlock spectacular views of the Brisbane River, Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, and surrounding bushland. Queensland Renovations specialises in building premium second storey additions that transform single-level Fig Tree Pocket homes into spacious, light-filled family residences. Fig Tree Pocket's generous block sizes and elevated terrain make it ideal for second storey additions. Our QBCC licensed builders have extensive experience constructing upper levels on the diverse housing stock found throughout this prestigious Brisbane western suburb, from 1960s brick homes to more recent constructions. A second storey addition allows you to significantly increase living space without sacrificing your valuable outdoor areas or established gardens. Many Fig Tree Pocket families add bedrooms and bathrooms upstairs, creating separate parent retreats with private balconies that take full advantage of the stunning natural surroundings. Our experienced structural engineers and builders understand the specific requirements of adding second storeys to existing Brisbane homes, including foundation assessments, load-bearing considerations, and seamless integration with existing architecture. We handle all council approvals, engineering certification, and project management to deliver exceptional results.
