Extending Homes in Burwood Heights
A home extension in Burwood Heights grows the character home in the quieter pocket — Federation and inter-war stock on 300 to 600m² blocks, extended behind conserved frontages where they apply.
The pre-war fabric gets licensed handling, party walls are assessed on the semis, and the settled streets hold the result.
At the $1.8M to $2.8M median, the wing beats the friction of upsizing in the Inner West.

The quiet character pocket
Burwood Heights extends the right way — conserved frontage where it applies, family wing behind — with the settled streets rewarding work done carefully.
The Inner West position keeps demand deep for the finished homes.
Fabric and walls handled
Party walls are assessed on the semis, and lead paint joins asbestos on the pre-war fabric.
Both the party-wall check and the licensed handling are in the fixed price.

How It Works
From First Call to Final Key
On-site assessment of your 1900s–1940s Federation/Californian Bungalow + inter-war heritage + 2010s+ apartment redevelopment around Burwood CBD-era home in Burwood Heights. We check structural condition, block dimensions (300–600m² (Federation/inter-war terraces and semi-detached predominant; Burwood CBD apartment-led)), setback availability, and Burwood Council's DCP requirements. Written feasibility and cost estimate provided.
⏱Designing an extension is half about the new space and half about how it joins the old one. Doorway position, ceiling height transition, floor level matching, light wells — the junction makes or breaks how the finished home feels.
⏱We lodge your extension approval — CDC for eligible designs or DA through Burwood Council. Full documentation including structural engineering for Class M soil, BASIX, and shadow diagrams. CC issued before works start.
⏱For ground-floor rear extensions you usually stay in the house during the build, with temporary weatherproofing at the junction wall until the new section is locked up. Second-storey additions need a 4–8 week relocation during the roof-off and frame-up phase.
⏱Final inspection, Occupation Certificate, 6-year structural warranty. Your Burwood Heights home now has the space your family needs.
