Our Home Extension Services
Ground Floor Extensions
Expand your living space with a well-designed ground floor extension that blends seamlessly with your existing home. Whether you’re adding a larger living area, extra bedroom, or open-plan space, we focus on practical layouts, structural integrity, and finishes that feel cohesive and natural.
Second-Storey Extensions
A second-storey extension is an effective way to gain space without sacrificing yard area. We manage the complexities involved, including structural assessments, approvals, and construction, delivering upper-level additions that enhance functionality while maintaining balance with your home’s original design.
Rear and Side Extensions
Rear and side extensions are ideal for increasing internal space while improving flow and natural light. We design and construct extensions that improve how your home functions day-to-day, ensuring the new areas connect smoothly with existing living zones.
Bedroom and Living Area Extensions
Create additional bedrooms or larger living areas to suit your growing family or changing needs. Our extensions are carefully planned to enhance comfort, circulation, and long-term usability, while maintaining the character of your home.
Architecturally Designed Extensions
We work closely with architects and designers to deliver design-led extensions that respect the original structure while introducing modern form and function. Our experience ensures complex details are executed correctly and built to a high standard.
Fully Managed Extension Projects
Every home extension is fully managed by our experienced team. From planning and approvals through to construction and completion, we coordinate all trades, manage timelines, and maintain clear communication throughout the entire process.
Our Home Extension Process
Initial Consultation
Every home extension begins with a detailed consultation. We take the time to understand your goals, space requirements, budget, and existing home layout. This allows us to assess feasibility, provide early guidance, and outline the best approach before moving forward.
Design & Planning
We work closely with designers, architects, or your existing plans to develop an extension that integrates seamlessly with your home. At this stage, we review structural requirements, layouts, and materials to ensure the design is functional, compliant, and buildable.
Approvals & Selections
Home extensions often require planning permits and building approvals. AMW Builders manages this process on your behalf, coordinating with councils and consultants to ensure all approvals and documentation are in place before construction begins.
Construction & Project Management
During construction, our experienced team manages every stage of your extension. We coordinate trades, oversee structural works, and maintain quality control throughout the build. Regular updates keep you informed, and we work carefully to minimise disruption to your household where possible.
Completion & Handover
Before completion, your extension undergoes a thorough inspection to ensure all work meets our standards and the agreed scope. We walk you through the finished space, address any final details, and remain available for support after handover.
