Add a stunning second storey to your Taigum home and dramatically increase your living space without sacrificing precious outdoor areas. Queensland Renovations specialises in building quality second storey additions for families across Brisbane's northern suburbs, transforming single-level Taigum homes into spacious two-storey residences. Taigum's family-friendly character, proximity to schools, and convenient northern corridor location make it an excellent suburb for growing families. Many Taigum homes were built as single-level dwellings on generous blocks, providing perfect foundations for second storey additions that accommodate growing families without the need to move. Our QBCC licensed builders have extensive experience constructing second storeys on Brisbane North homes, including the brick and concrete construction common in Taigum. We understand the structural requirements, council approval processes, and design considerations specific to adding upper levels to existing homes. A second storey addition allows you to add multiple bedrooms, bathrooms, and living areas upstairs while preserving your yard space, established gardens, and outdoor entertaining areas below. Our experienced team handles everything from initial structural assessment and design through to council approvals and construction.
