Types of Second-Storey Additions
Every home is different, which means the right second-storey design depends on your layout, structure, and goals. Below are the main types of additions we offer, each tailored to suit your property and lifestyle.
TRADITIONAL SECOND STOREY ADDITION
This is the most common type of second-storey addition, where the new level is built on top of the existing structure. It’s suitable for homes with a strong foundation that can bear the weight of an additional floor.
MODULAR ADDITION
A modular addition can be a viable option for homes where the existing structure may not support a traditional second storey. These prefabricated structures are added to the existing home, reducing construction time and potential disruption.
Partial Second Story
A partial addition can provide extra space if a full second storey is not feasible or necessary. This could be over the rear of the house or even as a loft conversion, depending on the home’s layout.
OVER-GARAGE ADDITION
Adding a second storey over the garage can provide additional living space without affecting the main house structure. This is a great options for properties with a standalone or integrated garage.
SPLIT-LEVEL ADDITION
A split-level second storey can offer a unique and architecturally exciting solution in areas with sloping blocks. This design can also help with zoning restrictions that may apply to height.

GET COMPLETE PEACE OF MIND WITH OUR THREE-STEP PROCESS
01
INITIAL MEETING AND PROPOSAL
You’ll begin by completing a short questionnaire so we have the right information before our first meeting. This allows us to understand your project from the outset.
We’ll then sit down to discuss your goals, budget, and the overall feasibility of the work, as well as the priorities most important to you.
If everything aligns, we carefully review your plans and specifications. From there, a professionally created proposal will be provided, giving you a clear foundation to move forward with confidence.
02
Contract and scheduling
If all boxes are ticked, we present the proposal. Once accepted, the documents are prepared and checked for accurately representing your wishes.
Once the legal obligations are completed by the relevant parties, we will proceed to create a project timeline to ensure construction goes without a hitch.
We guide you through this stage with planning tools, scheduled meetings, and regular communication, so you always know what decisions need to be made, the timeframe they need to be made in, and what comes next.
03
CONSTRUCTION AND HANDOVER
During construction, we aim to minimise disruption and keep you updated with consistent progress reports.
Each stage is delivered by trusted trades and overseen with careful workmanship and attention to detail, ensuring the build meets both regulatory requirements and our own standards of quality.
At completion, the project is formally signed off by regulators and yourself before the final handover. This stage marks the finish of a transparent and carefully managed process that leaves you with a home ready to enjoy.
