Benefits of Home Extensions on the Gold Coast

The Gold Coast is one of the most sought-after regions for homeowners. The beautiful landscapes and friendly neighbourhoods make it ideal for anyone. Yet, your current home may not support your growing needs. You may run out of space for new additions to your family or need an area for your favourite hobby.

Some of the most common reasons to complete a home extension include:

  • Adding additional bedrooms for children or elderly family members
  • Converting a bedroom into a master suite with an attached bath
  • Adding an attached garage to your Gold Coast home
  • Expanding the size of the kitchen or any other living space
  • Building a workshop or work area for a hobby or trade
  • Adding an office for working from home

The extra space that you gain offers several additional benefits. For example, you can instantly increase the value of your home. The value of a property is primarily based on the total size.

You also avoid the hassle of moving. Completing a home extension may offer a more cost-effective solution and save time than purchasing a larger property. You do not need to deal with packing your belongings or bidding on Gold Coast real estate during a seller’s market.

In some cases, home extensions may provide an extra source of income. You can convert unused space into an apartment unit or granny flat and rent it out.

Types of Home Extensions

We know that every household is different, so we’ve put together a range of extension options that are tailored to your needs and lifestyle.

At Risen Developments, we’ve got a whole range of extension options that are designed to suit your needs and budget. Whether you’re looking to create more space for a growing family or just need a bit of an update, we’ve got the expertise to help. Open plan living spaces are a great way to boost flexibility and create some amazing new zones in your home.

  • Ground Floor Extensions: These are great for adding more living space, a new kitchen or even a bigger dining room. They often involve some foundation work, which can drive up the cost a bit, but we can work with any budget. Just keep in mind that building outwards can eat into your outdoor space a bit.
  • Side Extensions: These are a great way to make the most of that narrow alleyway or path at the side of your property – and they’re often a cost-effective way to add some extra space to your ground floor rooms. The best bit is, they don’t eat into your garden or yard space.
  • Rear Extensions: These are perfect for creating a seamless indoor-outdoor experience – and they’re great for making the back of your house a whole lot more livable. By extending out into the garden or backyard, you can create some amazing open-plan spaces that bring the indoors and outdoors together beautifully.
  • Wrap Around Extensions: These combine a side return and a rear extension to create an L-shaped addition that wraps around your house and makes the most of the space by going all the way around it.
  • Secondary Dwellings aka – Granny Flats: A Secondary dwelling is an affordable way to get some extra living space – whether that’s for family members, visitors or even to generate some rental income. You can even get pre-designed options and they often greatly boost your property value.
  • Garage Conversions: Turning your garage into a functional room is a super cost-effective way to get some more living space, as the building is already there to work with.
  • Single Storey Extensions: If you’ve got a big backyard then a single storey extension can give you the extra space you need without taking up any of your yard. Just imagine the possibilities!
  • Second Storey Extensions: Ideal for smaller properties where space is tight, second storey additions leave your backyard intact and can include home offices – giving you a real versatile solution to modern life.
  • Double Storey Extensions: For those on a budget who still want to make the most of their living space double storey extensions can provide not one but two floors of extra rooms and amenities.
  • Heritage Home Extensions: If you’ve got a heritage home you’ll want to preserve its character. Our team of experts can design and build an extension that blends perfectly with your existing house.

Extensions can really make a difference when it comes to having extra storage, an extra bedroom or two, and an extra bathroom – all things that are super valuable in family-friendly suburbs and can add a nice chunk of value to your property.

Additions are an absolute dream for people in smaller spaces. Just keep in mind that when you extend your home’s footprint with an addition it can have an impact on drainage and landscaping so it’s worth thinking it all through.

Benefits of Home Extensions on the Gold Coast

The Gold Coast is one of the most sought after places to live in the country. The beaches, the people and the whole vibe make it the perfect spot for anyone. But what if your current home isn’t up to snuff? You might find yourself needing some more room for the kids, a hobby room or just an extra living space.

There are loads of reasons why people end up doing a home extension. Here are a few common ones:

  • Adding an extra bedroom for the kids or elderly family members
  • Turning a bedroom into a master suite with a bathroom attached
  • Adding a garage to your Gold Coast home
  • Expanding the kitchen or any other living space
  • Creating a workshop or work area for a hobby or trade
  • Adding a home office so you can work from home

The extra space you get from an extension gives you a ton of benefits. For instance, you can instantly add value to your home – especially if you’re adding bedrooms, bathrooms or a kitchen/dining area – these are the things that deliver the most value. How much value you add depends on the quality of the renovation and what’s in demand in your local market. Extensions can also increase your home’s footprint which may affect drainage and landscaping and they can be cheaper per square meter than additions – though you may need to do a bit of landscaping to get it looking nice and neat as well. Second storey extensions take up less land so they’re ideal for smaller plots.

When it comes to house extension costs you’ve got to remember that costs vary depending on the specifics of the project. In Australia, ground floor home extensions generally come in at around $3,500 to $5,000 per square meter, while second storey additions are usually between $4,000 to $6,500 per square meter. Second-storey additions are about 50% more per square meter because you’ve got all the structural reinforcement and staircase requirements to pay for. The average total cost of a home extension is generally between $240,000 to $550,000, depending on the size and scope of the project. And of course costs can vary a lot depending on where you live – suburban areas within the Gold Coast and Northern Rivers are generally a less expensive than the regional areas. Factors that influence costs include the size of the extension, the quality of the materials you use, things like kitchens or bathrooms and important stuff like air con for comfort. You might need to get in some excavation work for some projects and that can really drive costs up.

It’s a good idea to budget a bit extra (10-20%) on top of your construction budget to cover any unexpected costs that come up. And always get a detailed quote from the builder before you start the project so you’ve got a clear idea of what you’re getting into. Don’t be tempted to cut corners or you’ll end up compromising on quality and safety. Hidden costs can include things like fees for structural engineering, council planning and utility upgrades.

Most home extensions need council approval to make sure they’re complying with local regulations. The approval process can take anywhere from 4 to 12 weeks depending on how complex the project is.  If the full project is too much for your budget you can always do it in stages. Choosing the right builder and designer is crucial for a successful and compliant project. Extensions can also make a big difference to your home’s energy efficiency if you design it with sustainable materials and practices in mind. You also avoid the hassle of moving by going the home extension route . Doing a home extension may work out cheaper and save you time in the long run compared to buying a bigger property. You wont have to worry about packing up your belongings or getting caught up in the Gold Coast real estate auction process in a seller’s market.

In some cases, a home extension can also give you an extra source of income – you can turn an unused space into a Secondary Dwelling or rental unit.
