Second-Storey & Rear Additions in Cartwright
A home extension in Cartwright runs strong value maths — at the $750K to $950K median, the rear wing shifts the home's worth and liveability more per dollar than most of Sydney, on 1970s-80s stock that mostly has the bones for it.
Where found, the era's fabric gets the asbestos check with a licensed strip-out, and the Class H junctions are engineered.
We build these fixed-price, licence HBL 487805C. Ask us to measure what your block can hold.

Value maths that works
Cartwright's accessible entry makes the extension equation generous — the wing adds bedrooms and living at a cost the median genuinely rewards, and the 1970s-80s structure mostly takes it cleanly.
The standard blocks fit the family addition with the plan worked properly.
Era and clay handled
The era's fabric gets the asbestos check with licensed strip-out where found, and the Class H junctions are engineered.
The asbestos check and the junctions are both costed up front.

How It Works
From First Call to Final Key
Free consultation at your Cartwright home. We inspect the existing structure, check Liverpool City Council's controls, measure available space, and discuss what you need. You get a clear scope, budget range, and timeline before committing.
⏱Two design moves are usually on the table: match the existing house so the extension reads as original, or contrast with it so the new section is clearly modern. Both work — choice is aesthetic, and we'll show 3D renders of both before you commit.
⏱CDC (10–15 business days) or DA through Liverpool City Council depending on scope. Structural engineering, BASIX, and all documentation prepared and lodged. Construction Certificate obtained.
⏱Construction phase connects new to existing — footings, frame, roof tie-in, waterproofing at junction, internal fit-out and external finish. Staged works minimise disruption to your daily routine in Cartwright.
⏱Final inspection focuses on the integration: paint blend, flooring transitions, ceiling height, junction waterproofing, sound transmission. The extension shouldn't feel bolted on — it should feel like the house was always meant to be this size.
⏱Quality Promise
We extend Cartwright homes with a structural engineer on every job. Second storey, rear addition, multi-room — engineered and priced upfront.
