Extending Homes in Croydon
A home extension in Croydon works a quiet, intact heritage grid — 1900s to 1930s Federation homes on 300 to 600m² blocks, with the Malvern Hill estate among the best of it. These are streets where the character is unusually complete, so the wing goes in behind the conserved frontage and the grid keeps looking the way it should.
The pre-war fabric gets lead and asbestos removed under licence, and the finish matters here — the addition is built to the standard the character market pays for, not run cheap on a house that deserves better.
At a $1.9M to $3.0M median, a wing beats trading out of the heritage grid — the rail and the village keep the position effortless, and streets this coherent are hard to find and harder to leave.

The heritage grid grows
Croydon's Federation streets — Malvern Hill among them — extend the right way: conserved frontage, family wing behind, finished to the standard the character market pays for.
The rail and the village keep the position effortless.
Fabric handled properly
The Federation walls carry asbestos and lead paint, both stripped under licence.
That work sits in the fixed price rather than being tacked on later.

How It Works
From First Call to Final Key
Everything that has to be right before we touch the ground. Extension feasibility comes down to two things: what the existing structure can carry, and what Inner West 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 Croydon home — matching roof lines, materials, and flow between old and new sections. Floor plans, elevations, and 3D renders.
⏱The Croydon construction phase. Fixed price, programmed, supervised. 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 soil, frame stand, roof tie-in (most weather-critical phase), lock-up, then internal fit-out at the same standard as the existing house.
⏱The job isn't done when the site's clean; it's done when you have keys, certificates and warranties. Defect-free inspection, OC issued, 6-year warranty on all new work. Junction between old and new sections waterproofed and warranted. Maintenance guide covers care of new and existing areas.
