Successful home extensions begin with thorough planning. Understanding council requirements is essential, particularly in Alphington where planning overlays and neighbourhood character considerations may apply. Our team navigates these requirements efficiently, ensuring your extension complies with all regulations whilst maximising design potential.

Structural considerations form the foundation of any extension. We conduct comprehensive site assessments to understand your property's existing structure, soil conditions, and drainage requirements. This ensures your extension is built on solid foundations and integrates seamlessly with your home's existing framework.

Budget planning requires transparency and expertise. We provide detailed quotations that account for design, permits, materials, labour, and contingencies. Our clients appreciate knowing exactly what to expect, with no hidden costs or surprise variations.

Timeline management keeps your project on track. Most single-storey extensions take 12-16 weeks from permit approval to completion, whilst multi-level projects typically require 20-26 weeks. We provide realistic schedules and maintain consistent communication throughout every phase.

Design integration ensures your extension enhances rather than compromises your home's character. Whether you're extending a Victorian cottage or a mid-century home, we match materials, rooflines, and architectural details for a cohesive result that appears original to the property.
