Building a home extension can offer much-needed breathing room to families bursting at the seams in cramped quarters. A home extension also allows homeowners the creative freedom to transform their property’s existing layout into something that’s perfectly tailored to suit their lifestyle. 

Let the experts at Refresh guide you through the process and do all the heavy lifting. Get in touch with a local Renovation Consultant in Melbourne Inner East to get started!

Why choose Refresh Renovations?

With multiple contractors, supplier delays, and building permits, it’s easy for a renovation to go off the rails. But at Refresh, we’ve completed thousands of successful renovations by identifying where most projects fall short and addressing the problems before they can become one. Our 5-step process is focused on creating direct lines of communication and prioritising smart planning in the early stages so that your renovation runs smoothly. 

A local Melbourne Inner East Renovation Consultant will guide you through the process and provide robust customer support at every stage. If you already know what you want, they’ll create a personalised approach to bring your vision to life. If you’re looking for inspiration, they’ll work closely with you to offer expert advice and help craft a plan that suits your needs. 

From start to finish, your Renovation Consultant will be by your side, coordinating a qualified team of tradespeople, sourcing premium materials, and keeping everyone on the same page so your home extension is delivered on time, within budget, and to Refresh’s high standard of craftsmanship. 

What are some house extension ideas in Melbourne Inner East?

Kitchen and lounge extensions are a tried and true category when it comes to house extension ideas. Additional living space is invaluable for a family that’s feeling confined within their existing home. A more spacious kitchen alleviates the stress of busy mornings while an airy lounge enhances relaxation time on the weekends. Kitchen and lounge extensions also offer an opportunity to completely rework your living space layout. 

In densely populated Melbourne neighbourhoods, it may be a better option to extend up rather than give up precious outdoor space. Second-storey additions are perfect if you’re looking to add another bedroom on the same level, or possibly even a home office.

How long do house extensions take in Melbourne Inner East?

Our Renovation Consultants consider many factors when providing an estimated timeline for each project. But there are a few things they cannot control such as weather, shipping, permit turnarounds, and larger incidents such as a pandemic.

However, we always aim to deliver on our estimated deadlines. Should there be any delays, we’ll deal with them promptly and keep you in the loop. 

Can I build an extension on my house? 

The only limitations are space allowances and local regulations. Other than that, anything is possible. Working with a Renovation Consultant will give you a clear idea about what kind of extension is best for your property and what restrictions may be in place.
