Home extensions in South Melbourne
South Melbourne houses are narrow, usually attached on at least one side, and hemmed in by a laneway or a neighbour's wall. An extension here is an access and planning problem before it is a building one. That is where we start.
What we build
- Ground-floor rear extensions - kitchen, living and dining reworked as one space
- Second-storey additions over an existing footprint
- Side returns that claim the dead strip beside the house
- Garage, cellar and outbuilding conversions
Working on a tight site
Most of the risk on a South Melbourne job sits outside the house. Scaffold that has to stand in a laneway. A party wall that needs a protection works notice served on the neighbour before anything is touched. Parking permits through the City of Port Phillip. Deliveries timed so a truck is not blocking a one-way street at school pick-up. We work all of that out before the contract is signed, not after, because it is the part that moves dates and costs once a job is running.
How a job runs
- A first conversation on site, at no cost, to work out what is actually possible
- A written scope and an honest estimate - no allowances hidden in a lump sum
- A fixed-price Master Builders Victoria contract
- One point of contact for the whole build
