Frequently Asked Questions

  • What do I need to do before building a new home?

    Before construction begins, you'll need a clear set of plans—created by a draftsperson or architect—and council approval for the build. It’s also worth thinking through block orientation, natural light, and your long-term lifestyle needs.


    Once approvals are in place, site preparation begins, followed by the build itself. Working with an experienced builder early in the process helps shape the design around your goals and ensures all compliance boxes are ticked from the start.


    Planning well upfront can save time and reduce costly changes later on.

  • Can I live in my home while it’s being renovated?

    In many cases, yes—but it depends on the type and scale of the renovation. Cosmetic updates like flooring or painting can usually be done while you stay in the home. 


    Structural work, bathroom or kitchen overhauls may make living in the house tricky for part of the process. Safety, access and dust levels also play a role.


    If you're staying put, it’s important to plan around key disruptions and have areas of the home kept usable.


    Some people choose to live offsite temporarily during major stages to avoid stress.

  • What types of extensions work best for small blocks?

    Small blocks call for smart design. Second-storey additions are a popular solution when ground space is limited, adding bedrooms or living areas without using up yard space. 


    Reconfiguring internal layouts and converting underused areas—like garages or older patios—can also add valuable space. 


    Outdoor areas can be transformed with covered decks or compact entertaining zones. 


    When working with a smaller block, it's important to maximise natural light, storage and connection between old and new. Careful planning makes a huge difference in how spacious the end result feels.

  • What should I include in a home addition?

    What you include in a home addition depends on your needs—but it’s smart to think long-term. Popular inclusions are extra bedrooms, second living areas, home offices, self-contained spaces for guests or teenagers and outdoor rooms for entertaining.


    Consider how the new space will connect with existing rooms, and how traffic flow and light will be affected. Good additions feel like they’ve always been part of the home.


    It’s also worth thinking about privacy, storage and how the layout might adapt if your needs change in the future.
