St Marys Home Extensions — Fixed Price
A home extension in St Marys reads the block against the corridor — the R4 pockets near the future Metro station carry value the wing is checked against, while the 1950s-1980s homes beyond extend on the value read.
The fibro gets the licensed strip-out first, the older framing gets checked, and the junctions are engineered.
At the $850K to $1.3M entry, the wing on the settled streets keeps the money in the building.

The Metro reprices the core
St Marys' future Metro station is repricing the blocks around it — some carry R4 value worth more than any wing, so I check the position before design money moves.
The settled streets beyond extend on the standard value logic.
Older stock handled
The 1950s-1980s framing is checked before it borders new structure, and fibro gets the licensed strip-out first.
Both sit in the quote from the outset, not billed as the cladding comes off.

How It Works
From First Call to Final Key
The first job on an extension is finding out what you're extending onto. St Marys homes from the 1950s–1980s + 2010s+ R4 apartments 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.
