Types of Home Extensions We Create
Our expertise spans a comprehensive range of extension types, each tailored to your property and requirements:

- Second-Storey Additions: Maximise your land's potential by building upwards, perfect for adding multiple bedrooms, bathrooms, or a private retreat.
- Rear Extensions: Transform the back of your home with extensions that open to outdoor entertaining areas and capture natural light.
- Side Extensions: Utilise narrow side passages to widen rooms or create additional functional spaces like home offices or powder rooms.
- Multi-Level Extensions: Combine ground and upper-level additions for a complete transformation that dramatically increases your living space.
Each extension type requires careful planning to ensure structural integrity, council compliance, and seamless integration with your existing home. Our experienced team guides you through every decision, from architectural design to interior finishes.
Our Extension Design Process
Initial Consultation
We begin with an in-depth discussion of your vision, requirements, and budget. Our team visits your property to assess opportunities and constraints, providing expert recommendations tailored to your goals.
Design & Planning
Our designers create detailed plans that maximise space, functionality, and aesthetic appeal. We handle all planning permits and ensure designs comply with local building regulations whilst respecting Surrey Hills' character.
Premium Construction
With approvals secured, our skilled craftspeople bring your extension to life. We maintain rigorous quality standards, provide regular progress updates, and ensure minimal disruption throughout the build.
Final Handover
Upon completion, we conduct thorough inspections and walk you through your new space. Our commitment continues beyond handover with comprehensive warranties and ongoing support.
Navigating Planning Permits in Surrey Hills
Surrey Hills falls within the Boroondara City Council jurisdiction, and most home extensions require planning approval. The process can seem complex, but our experienced team manages all aspects of permit applications on your behalf.
We understand Boroondara's planning scheme, heritage overlays, and neighbourhood character requirements. Our designs respect the Garden Suburb character of Surrey Hills whilst incorporating contemporary functionality. We prepare comprehensive planning submissions that address council requirements, significantly improving approval prospects.
Building permits are also essential for structural work. We coordinate with licensed building surveyors to ensure all documentation meets Victorian Building Authority standards. Our thorough approach minimises delays and ensures your extension project proceeds smoothly from concept to completion.
The typical planning process takes between three to four months, depending on proposal complexity. We keep you informed at every stage and respond promptly to any council requests for additional information. With proper planning and expert guidance, your extension project will navigate the approval process efficiently.

About Surrey Hills: Melbourne's Garden Suburb
Surrey Hills is one of Melbourne's most desirable suburbs, located approximately 12 kilometres east of the CBD. With a population of around 14,500 residents, this leafy suburb is renowned for its village atmosphere, heritage architecture, and strong sense of community.
The suburb's tree-lined streets feature predominantly Edwardian and Victorian-era homes, with many properties carefully maintained or sympathetically renovated to preserve their heritage character. Surrey Hills' median house price consistently ranks amongst Melbourne's highest, reflecting the area's prestige and desirability.
Residents enjoy excellent amenities including Surrey Hills Shopping Village along Union Road, which offers boutique retailers, quality cafes, and specialty stores. The suburb is well-served by schools, with several highly regarded public and private institutions. Canterbury and Canterbury Road stations provide convenient access to the city.
The demographic profile skews towards established families and professionals who value quality, character, and convenience. Many residents choose to renovate and extend rather than relocate, investing in their properties to create homes that suit their evolving needs whilst remaining in this coveted location.
Surrey Hills' neighbourhood character overlay protects the garden suburb aesthetic, with planning regulations encouraging sympathetic development that respects the area's heritage. This creates opportunities for thoughtfully designed extensions that enhance properties whilst maintaining the streetscape character that makes Surrey Hills so distinctive.
