Second-Storey & Rear Additions in Girraween

A home extension in Girraween is nearly always about the catchment — families will not leave the school zone, so the house grows instead, and the 1970s-90s stock on well-sized blocks takes the wing cleanly.

The brick extends at ground level without drama, the older fabric gets the fibro check, and the shale keeps footings straightforward.

At the $1.1M to $1.4M median, the staying maths is sealed by the enrolment you would lose by moving.

We build these fixed-price, licence HBL 487805C. Ask us to measure what your block can hold.

The catchment seals it

Girraween's school catchments are why families extend rather than move — the enrolment is worth more than the upheaval, and the rear wing adds the bedrooms and living the household needs.

The 1970s-90s brick takes the addition cleanly on well-sized blocks.

Era and ground handled

The older fabric gets the fibro check with licensed strip-out where found, and the shale keeps footings straightforward.

The fibro check and the footing work are both costed up front.

How It Works

From First Call to Final Key

The first job on an extension is finding out what you're extending onto. Girraween homes from the 1970s–1990s were built to different standards — we open walls, check footings, verify load paths. The existing house has to carry the new work.

Design follows the existing roof. A bad extension looks like a bolt-on; a good one reads as original. Matched brickwork or contrasting render (whichever the architecture calls for), tied-in roofline, continuous flooring where it should be continuous.

Construction happens while you live in the house. That means weatherproofing every night, staging the works so kitchens and bathrooms don't disappear on the same week, and keeping the site clean of debris that doesn't belong in a family home.

Finish is seamless. Paint match, floor match, roofline match, brick match where possible. The only way to tell the extension is new is the date on the plans.
