Spread out: single storey extension
If you need more living space, an extra bedroom or a second bathroom to accommodate your growing family, a ground-level extension is the simplest and most cost-effective way to expand your home. Decide how much outdoor space you’ll sacrifice and make sure the new layout maintains a natural flow throughout your home. Living areas should be easily accessible from the entrance or hallway, and position bedrooms close to a bathroom.
Raise the roof! Add a second storey
Adding a second storey is a great option when space is at a premium or you want to take advantage of a stunning view. This is typically more complex and costly than other extensions, and often requires the existing structure to be strengthened.
Have a loft space? Converting it into an attic room can be a cost-effective way to add a bedroom, home office or craft room… the sky’s the limit!
Dig deep: create a basement
A basement level maximises under-utilised space beneath your home, while preserving your outdoor area. Develop your existing basement or lift the house to create a new level underneath. Include internal access or create a separate, self-contained living area for a work-from-home space or generating rental income. Our expert team will guide you through every step of the process, from the initial geotechnical survey, to the civil, engineering and foundation work required to ensure the new level is stable and safe.
Extend with a minor dwelling
The Auckland Unitary Plan has made it easier to add a second dwelling to your unused front garden or spacious back lawn. A minor dwelling provides an ideal living solution for aging parents, or can be used as a home office or studio. You could even earn extra income by renting it out long or short-term.
Extending your home is the ideal time to update the exterior too. Recladding and reroofing will improve your home’s structural integrity and weatherproofing, while giving you a cohesive design that makes your property look brand new. Invest in these upgrades to improve insulation, boost energy efficiency and increase your home’s value.
