What are some Second Storey Extension trends in Melbourne, Victoria?

For homeowners who have settled down in Melbourne, the thought of moving to a new house in a new area is often not even a consideration as it involves moving away from their established connections and enrolling their children into new schools. Therefore, a growing trend has been to add a second floor to their existing property.

‍
Not only can this nearly double the available space of your home, homeowners in Melbourne think of it as a great investment. You can do so without impeding on your yard space or extending your property closer to your neighbours.
In Victoria, the biggest attraction of extending up is the ability to customise the entire second storey to fill the homeowner’s unique needs. You have the option to decide how many extra bedrooms you want, whether you’d like to add a second living space, a home office, or even a theatre or a gym! With the options being nearly limitless, the Refresh™ Melbourne team can advise you on the latest trends, financial considerations, and design factors.

How much does it cost to add a Second Floor to your home in Melbourne?

Based on the Refresh Melbourne team’s completed projects, we estimate* a second storey extension to cost between $1,800 per square meter to upwards of $3,200 per square meter.
However, note that this cost will fluctuate depending on your property’s land area, whether you are looking to build a full second floor or a partial addition, as well as other factors such as your home’s age, the materials you choose, and your chosen design.
