That depends on your block, the current building and the space you need. A site review helps compare the options.
Will my extension need permits?
Check planning needs with the local council and building permit needs with a building surveyor. The rules depend on the work and site.
Can you help me plan before I get builder quotes?
Yes. An agreed design and clear drawings help a house extension builder understand the work. Share your budget goals early.
