What we build Second-storey additions
Rise
Second-storey additions in Bayside and Glen Eira. A second storey can add the space of a much larger block without losing the garden. It needs careful engineering and planning, so we start with whether it is the right option for your house at all.
What's included
- A feasibility check of the existing structure and the planning rules for your property
- Concept options, so you can compare going up with extending out
- Structural engineering, permits and neighbour notifications handled
- A staged build plan that keeps the house weathertight
- A fixed-price contract and weekly updates
Questions people ask
Will we need to move out?
For most second-storey work, yes, for part of the build. We tell you how long at the feasibility stage, so you can plan.
Can every house take a second storey?
No. The footings, frame and planning rules all matter. The feasibility check answers this before you spend money on full designs.
What about the neighbours?
Overlooking and overshadowing rules apply. We design with them in mind and handle the notifications the permit process needs.
We also build
- Home extensions
Rear and side extensions that open up older homes: a new kitchen and living area, an extra bedroom, a better link to the garden.
- Renovations
Kitchens, bathrooms and whole-of-house renovations, with the trades, ordering and timing handled for you.
