A home extension in Canley Vale costs $150,000–$600,000+. Rear extension from $150K, second-storey addition from $300K. Buildana manages design, Fairfield City Council approvals, and construction under one fixed-price contract.
Second-Storey & Rear Additions in Canley Vale
A home extension in Canley Vale keeps you next to your own train station while the house finally grows into the family. The stock is 1950s to 1970s fibro and brick veneer, and the blocks are well-sized, so there is room across the back for an extra bedroom and open living zone without crowding the yard. For families who value the station walk and the Fisher Street shops, staying and extending beats the upheaval of moving.
One honest flag on the older fibro: sheeting and eaves from this era routinely contain asbestos, so our demolition and strip-out package includes licensed removal and clearance certification as standard. The lighter framing also suits ground-floor additions far better than second storeys, which need real steel. Out is nearly always the better spend here.
What I would check first on your Canley Vale house: the asbestos in the old fibro, and the rear yard depth for the addition. Those set the safe scope.
We build these fixed-price, licence HBL 487805C. Buildana works the Fairfield LGA constantly, so get us out for a look.

Stay by the station
The 1950s to 1970s fibro and brick veneer homes sit on well-sized blocks, so there is room across the back for an extra bedroom and open living zone without crowding the yard.

How It Works
From First Call to Final Key
On-site assessment of your 1950s–1970s-era home in Canley Vale. We check structural condition, block dimensions (450–700m²), setback availability, and Fairfield City 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 Fairfield City Council. Full documentation including structural engineering for Class M–H 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 Canley Vale home now has the space your family needs.
