Renovations and Extensions

If you love your suburb and the street you're living in, you don't have to move. 

Make the changes you want to make and build on the original style and charm of your existing home  

Relocating is not the easy way out. There is a surprising amount of effort. You have to put your home on the market, find an ideal home that works for your budget and needs, moving costs, agent's fees and charges, stamp duty, and bank fees and charges etc.

Young Building Co recommends focusing on orientation and layout as well as airtight construction and insulation. Thermal bridging, optimized windows, and ventilation (mechanical or with an active occupant) will help keep heat in and out. Balanced ventilation ensures fresh air and controls and achieves superior indoor air quality. 

You won't know the exact cost of a project until you've made plans and know how large the extension is going to be and what will be included. Renovations are different and unique each time in regards to size, site access, level of finishes, construction method, style of building, location of existing services, matching existing materials etc. The list goes on! Contact us to discuss to your options. We always try to work with our clients to achieve their desired result. 

There are so many factors to consider in regards to how long your project will take. Things to note are: the size and scope of the renovation/extension, the construction method, availability of materials and labour, weather etc. You can expect a renovation to take anywhere from 3 to 12 months, possibly more, depending on what the project requires. As we will be right alongside you for the duration of your project, we can discuss alternative options/solutions as needed. 

This depends on the type of renovation.

Some things that require council approval include:  

• Residential additions and alterations 
• Swimming pools and spas. 
• Garages, carports and sheds. 
• Patios, decking and garden structures. 
• Fences and retaining walls. 

When working with Young Building Co, we can take of this process for you. 

That is absolutely fine. In fact, it can work in the client’s favour if they don’t have plans. From a construction point of view, having a builder and architect working together can save time and money as we can provide valuable knowledge and insights during the concept stage.
