The cost of a home extension can vary widely depending on the scope of the project, materials used and other factors, i.e., site access, complexity of the designs. To provide a price indication, projects on the lower scale call on standard configurations, structures and materials that are readily available, with installation of these finishes and materials in line with industry standards. This level of project sits at approx. $2,700 + GST per square metre and can still be architecturally designed.
Mid-tier projects with architecturally de- signed features and more luxurious specifications can often range between $3,500 + GST and $4,500 + GST per square metre. Meanwhile highly specified projects that are embellished with the finer materials and finishes can cost anywhere from $5000 + GST to $10,000 + GST per square metre. Note that these figures are for the build only. Items to be considered additional to these are site preparedness, demolition, technologies, basements, slopes, swimming pools and landscaping costs.
Building costs less than $2,500 + GST per square metre could be reached, however this cost would be without professional design – architecturally and interior – and could result in subpar outcomes. It’s important to do thorough research on all builders – mass, independent and their qualification levels.
These figures should only be used as an indicative guide as every extension and renovation are all unique and no two projects are ever the same.
At RoomFour, we promote early collaboration between an architect, designer and builder. This way you will have a better chance of efficient cost management and creating a budget that works for you, avoiding project cost blowouts and time and money loss by possibly redoing the plans. With this early collaboration you are setting the foundation for a smoother, more successful project that delivers the desired outcomes for everyone involved. At RoomFour, we offer this Early Contractor Involvement service.
Extending your home can be a significant investment, and understanding the costs involved is crucial. Factors like the size of the extension, materials used, and design complexity can greatly influence the overall expenditure.
Obtaining detailed quotes from reputable extension builders is advisable to gauge an accurate estimate for your specific project requirements.
Most home extensions require obtaining planning and building permits from the local council. At RoomFour, we guide our clients through the extension build council approvals process to ensure compliance.
A well-designed extension project can provide the extra space you need as your family grows, creating a custom-designed dream home. It allows you to incorporate functional home designs that fit your lifestyle while potentially increasing your property value.
The timeline can vary depending on the complexity of the extension ideas, concept design, and the type of home extension you choose. However, most reputable Melbourne house extension builders should be able to provide an estimate during the initial consultation or design consultations.
Absolutely! Many master builders and home extension experts offer integrated design and building services. Their team of extension designers and design consultants can work closely with you to create a cohesive concept plan that seamlessly blends the new extension with your existing structure.
It is crucial to work with experienced architects who specialise in extensions. They can help you explore extension ideas that complement your existing home’s architectural style and materials, creating a harmonious transition between the old and new spaces.
