Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to build a new home?
The timeline for building a new home varies depending on the size, complexity and location of the build. On average, a standard home takes between six and twelve months to complete after plans and approvals are finalised.
That doesn’t include time spent in design or waiting on council approvals, which can add another couple of months to the process.
Larger or architecturally unique homes may take longer due to more detailed planning and custom construction requirements.
To avoid delays, it's best to work with a builder who communicates clearly and manages trades and timelines efficiently throughout the build.
What approvals do I need for a home renovation?
Not all renovations require council approval, but structural changes, extensions and anything impacting the exterior usually do. Examples include adding a room, altering load-bearing walls, or changing the roofline.
Even internal renovations may require certification if they affect plumbing, drainage or electrical systems.
It’s best to check with your local council or work with a builder or draftsperson who understands local planning requirements.
Starting work without approval can lead to penalties or rework, so it pays to get the paperwork right up front.
Can I build a second storey on an existing home?
Yes, it’s possible to add a second storey, provided your home’s structure can support the additional load. A structural engineer will usually assess the foundation and framework to confirm this.
You’ll also need council approval, and your design must meet height limits, setback rules and privacy regulations.
Second storey additions are a great option for staying in the same area while adding space, especially in coastal suburbs where block sizes are often limited.
How do I plan a home extension?
Start by thinking about how you use your home and what space is missing—an extra bedroom, more living space, or a dedicated work area.
From there, speak to a draftsperson or builder about how your block, zoning and existing layout might influence the design.
Consider access, light, privacy and how the new space will connect with the old. Good extensions aren’t just tacked on—they feel like they’ve always been part of the home.
Getting clear on your needs and approvals early makes the process much smoother.
