Confirming Your Home's Suitability
We check these key items, including a structural integrity assessment, during your free consultation for second storey additions.
Foundation & Structural Integrit
We assess your existing foundation and structure. Most existing structures are suitable, and our engineers later design the precise support needed for the addition.

Block & Access
We evaluate your block to plan for safe and efficient access for materials and our local Melbourne building team.

The Design Phase
We create detailed architectural plans and 3D models so you can see your new space before construction begins on your new level.
The Building Permit Approval
We compile and manage the detailed engineering reports and all other documentation to secure your building permit efficiently for the project.

Our method is designed so you can live in your residence comfortably throughout the construction of your storey addition.
Daily On-Site Management

Frequently Asked Questions
These successful outcomes often lead to more specific questions about our services. Here are the answers to the most common ones we receive.
What is the cost for a second storey in Melbourne?
While the cost varies, a typical range for a second storey addition in Melbourne is $2,500 to over $4,500 per square metre. Our fixed-price quote provides an exact figure for our affordable upstairs additions, so there are no surprises with the final cost.
How long will the entire process take?
The journey for these 6-12 month projects, including design and approvals, is comprehensive. The on-site construction itself for your energy-efficient expansion is usually between 4-7 months.
Can we live in the house during the build?
Yes, in almost all cases. We establish a separate work zone and manage the ‘break-through’ at the very last stage to minimise disruption during your second-floor renovation.
What design choices do we get to make?
You make all the enjoyable interior finish selections! You’ll choose your floor plan, colours, and all finishes like tiles, flooring, and bathroom and kitchen integrations for your lifestyle-enhancing project.
How do you ensure the addition matches our existing style?
We meticulously ensure seamless integration by matching exterior materials, roof lines, and window styles, especially for period homes like weatherboard extensions, so the new level looks like it was always part of the original design.
What if my budget is under $250k?
While most cost-effective vertical builds start at $250k due to their complexity, we recommend a consultation. We can explore if a different solution, like a ground floor extension, could be a better fit for your budget and goals.
