What Types of Home Extensions Are Available?
Single Storey
Single-storey extensions are ideal for enhancing ground-floor living space, creating larger kitchens, spacious living rooms, or additional bathrooms.
Double Storey
A two-storey extension is the answer when you need more bedrooms and living space. Perfect for growing families, these extensions add significant value to your property while providing much-needed extra rooms.
Wrap Around
By extending on multiple sides of your property, you can create an open-plan living space that seamlessly connects indoor and outdoor areas. Wrap-around extensions are ideal for entertaining and modern family living.
Loft Conversion
Make the most of your property's vertical space with a loft conversion. You can create extra bedrooms, home offices, or hobby spaces by converting your attic into usable rooms.
Our Process
Consultation and Design
Your home extension journey begins with a comprehensive consultation. We'll discuss your vision, lifestyle needs, and budget to develop a concept that aligns with your property and local regulations.
Following this, we'll create detailed plans and designs that capture your desired outcome. Our team will handle the complexities of obtaining the necessary council permits and approvals, ensuring a smooth start to your project.
Budgeting and Planning
Once the design is finalised, our extension builders will provide a detailed cost estimate outlining the project's scope and budget. This transparency allows you to make informed decisions. Once you're satisfied, we'll move to the formal contract stage, securing building consent, and finalising the project timeline.
Construction and Completion
Our experienced team will work diligently to bring your vision to life, adhering to the highest quality standards. Regular updates and open communication ensure you're involved throughout the process.
Upon completion, we conduct a thorough inspection to ensure the extension meets building regulations. Once we are completely satisfied with your project, we will formally conclude it with a handover, and you can start using the new area of your home!

Frequently Asked Questions About Home Extensions
Will a Home Extension Affect My Daily Life?
A house extension can be particularly challenging because it involves noise, dust, and restricted access to certain areas of your home. While you can alter your daily routines around construction in frequently used areas such as the kitchen or living room, you may need to adjust your living arrangements and temporarily relocate to avoid the chaos.
The duration of your project depends on its scope and complexity. During our consultation phase, we’ll provide you with a detailed timeline so you can make suitable arrangements.
What Are the Council Consent Requirements for House Extensions in Otago?
In New Zealand, most extensions are considered structural building work and require building consent under the Building Act. This ensures the proposed extension complies with the New Zealand Building Code.
Our experienced extension builders will submit detailed plans and specifications, site plans, structural calculations, and any other relevant documentation to the local council on your behalf for a streamlined process.
What Are the Options for Outdoor Living Space Extensions?
Given Kiwis’ love for outdoor living, you can opt for a house extension that includes outdoor kitchens, BBQ areas, and alfresco dining spaces. We can implement popular features like large sliding doors and louvre roofing to make these spaces enjoyable year-round.
Alternatively, our professional cabin builders can craft a separate shed from your main property as an extra, functional outdoor space.
