Yes. If you're at the early stages, we can assist with design development and coordinate the engineers, certifier and other consultants required for a DA or CDC. If you already have approved plans, we're also happy to work from your existing documentation.

It depends on your property, available land, planning controls, existing structure, budget and how you'd like the additional space to connect with your home. These factors can be assessed early to help determine the most suitable option.

Often, yes. Where practical, works can be staged and isolated to help keep parts of the home accessible. For extensive structural works or periods where essential services are affected, temporary relocation may be recommended.

Costs vary considerably depending on the size, existing structure, site access, structural requirements, level of finish and complexity of the works. Once we understand your property and proposed scope, we can provide more accurate pricing and discuss the appropriate delivery approach.

The programme depends on the size and complexity of the project, approvals, structural work and level of finish. We'll establish a project programme and explain the expected stages before construction begins.
