Home Extension FAQs
Is it better to extend or move house?
Extending can suit owners who like their location and block but need more space. Moving may make
sense if major changes are required or zoning limits what you can build. A builder can give
indicative budgets so you can compare options with your own research.
Can I live in the home during an extension?
Many extension projects are completed while owners remain in the home, but this can involve noise,
dust and areas that are off limits at times. Builders can explain the likely disruption and any
safety measures required so you can plan ahead.
Do I need a designer or architect for an extension?
Smaller additions can sometimes be designed with a draftsperson or builder, while more complex
projects often involve a designer or architect. The right approach depends on your goals, budget
and local planning requirements.
What should I include in an extension brief?
A useful brief covers how many extra rooms you need, how you want them arranged, any views or
light you want to capture and features that are non negotiable. This information helps builders
and designers work toward the same outcome.
