Contact usNew footings and slab or floor structure tied into the existing house, framing built to match existing floor levels and rooflines, and finishes carried through so the join between old and new isn't obvious from inside or out. We scope all of it in the same visual, itemised quote as the rest of our work.
Older Hobart homes in particular often have quirks: uneven floor levels, non-standard framing, or rooflines that need careful tie-in work. Getting a Home Addition Construction Hobart project to read as part of the original house rather than an obvious addition comes down to handling these details properly rather than working around them at the finishing stage.
A well-planned extension can solve the same problem as moving house, more space, better layout, without leaving the location or street you're attached to. Our guide on what home extensions add the most value in Tasmania covers which additions tend to pay off longer term.
Getting a new extension to genuinely read as part of an older Hobart home takes more than matching paint colours. Zak and Tom handle the tie-ins to existing rooflines and floor levels personally, since it's this detail work, more than the new construction itself, that decides whether an extension looks bolted on or built in.
Will a single storey extension match the rest of my house?
That's the goal of every job. We match rooflines, floor levels and finishes to the existing structure so the extension reads as part of the original home rather than an obvious add-on.
Do I need to move out during a single storey extension?
Not always, though which parts of the house are affected depends on where the extension connects. Our guide on live-in renovations in Hobart covers what to expect if you're staying put during the build.
How much does a single storey extension cost in Hobart?
It varies significantly with size, site access and finishes, so we don't quote off a rule of thumb. Our guide on home extension costs in Hobart breaks down what drives the range.
Do I need council approval for a single storey extension?
Almost always yes, given it involves new structure and a footprint change. We handle the approvals process as part of the project rather than leaving it to you to navigate.
How long does a single storey extension typically take?
Most home extensions run between 8 and 20 weeks depending on size and structural requirements, and we give you a realistic schedule once we've scoped your specific project.
