Adding an Extension to a House
House extensions offer a range of advantages for homeowners such as:
- Additional space for a bigger kitchen
- More or bigger bathrooms and bedrooms
- The ability to convert your home to an open-plan layout
- Increase storage space
- Allow more natural light and better ventilation
- A second-storey extension for more living space or a rooftop recreational area
Greater square meterage automatically increases the kerb appeal and market value of your property
House Extension Cost
Ground floor extensions can cost between $2000 to $4000 per m2, while second storey extensions can range from $3000 to $3500 per m2.
The following factors will affect the cost of your home extension:
