Home Additions in Perth

Costs for a ground-level house extension in Australia start from around $70,000. When house prices are high, as they are in many parts of Australia at the moment, adding a room or extending your living area on the ground floor can be a more affordable way to create space than moving.

A second storey extension will normally cost around $1,800 to $15,000 per square metre depending on the “degree of difficulty” of the work required. Obviously, this figure can vary quite a lot depending on the nature of the project.

There’s no surefire way to determine whether adding a second storey or an addition is the less-expensive way to expand your living space without considering the details of the property. For some homeowners, the addition is less expensive, but for others, adding the second storey is a better alternative.

The primary disadvantage is that you eat into your outside space. This is fine if you have a big garden, otherwise, it’s a tradeoff. The other two disadvantages are that you will be living in a construction zone for a while, and you might not make your investment back. However, most additions will add value to the house and are good bets, all things considered.

If you want to increase the value of your home and are ready to go all-in on a time-consuming but rewarding investment, then you should opt for a home addition. Not only does it give your home value, luxury, and convenience, but it also gives you a chance to add a bit of your creativity.
