Home Extension Builder in Canley Heights
A home extension in Canley Heights keeps the family near the eating strip that made the suburb famous — and the generous post-war blocks have the rear depth for the full multigenerational wing.
The era read leads: the post-war fibro gets the licensed asbestos strip-out where the addition touches it, and the lighter framing means out beats up on cost.
On the R3 pockets, the duplex comparison is run honestly. At the $900K to $1.15M median, the staying maths is clear.
We build these fixed-price, licence HBL 487805C. Ask us to measure what your block can hold.

Near the strip, room for everyone
Canley Heights' food strip and community are why families stay — and the generous blocks let them: the rear wing adds the bedrooms, second living and second bathroom the bigger household needs.
Multigenerational extensions are most of what we build here, and the plans are designed for it.
Era handled, options compared
The post-war fibro gets licensed strip-out where touched, out beats up on the lighter framing, and the R3 pockets get the honest duplex comparison.
The strip-out and the duplex comparison both come before any spend, priced up front.

How It Works
From First Call to Final Key
Extension feasibility comes down to two things: what the existing structure can carry, and what Fairfield City Council will let you build. We assess both at the consultation — no point designing for a second storey if the slab can't take the load.
⏱Extension designed to integrate with your existing Canley Heights home — matching roof lines, materials, and flow between old and new sections. Floor plans, elevations, and 3D renders.
⏱All approval documentation prepared: structural drawings, BASIX, shadow analysis, stormwater, and statement of environmental effects (if DA). Lodged and managed through to Construction Certificate.
⏱Extension construction takes 3–6 months on average. Footings excavated and poured to match existing depth on Class M–H soil, frame stand, roof tie-in (most weather-critical phase), lock-up, then internal fit-out at the same standard as the existing house.
⏱Defect-free inspection, OC issued, 6-year warranty on all new work. Junction between old and new sections waterproofed and warranted.
