Long Answer
The timeline for a home extension varies significantly depending on the size, complexity, and type of extension you're planning. Single-storey extensions typically take 3-4 months from construction start to completion, whilst double-storey extensions or more complex projects can take 6-8 months or longer.
Several factors influence the timeline, including planning permit approvals, which can take 6-8 weeks, building permit processing, weather conditions, and any unforeseen structural issues. Premium extensions with bespoke features, high-end finishes, and custom millwork naturally require additional time to ensure every detail meets our exacting standards.
At High Vision Renovations, we provide a detailed project timeline during the planning phase, keeping you informed of progress throughout. We prioritise quality craftsmanship over speed, ensuring your extension is completed to the highest standard rather than rushing to meet unrealistic deadlines.
