What To Expect With A Second Storey Addition

Second Storey Extensions in Brisbane

It is an exciting time when you realise second storey extensions in Brisbane will increase living space and the value of your home. There are important steps to follow before this dream can become a reality.

First of all, you need to consult an expert such as Expand Renovate. We can help to determine whether your structure is strong enough to support another storey.

We check whether your home is load-bearing or column beam structure, as well as determine if it has a proper foundation structure that could support a two-storey house.

If you have the resources and time for it, evaluate the structure for its strengths and weaknesses after consulting with an expert. Of course, if everything is okay then you can build it into a double-storey.

As for what to look for, it depends on what you want. Are you trying just to add more living space? Or turn part of one level (probably the first floor) into a bedroom and bath for an elderly relative? Your reason for wanting the extra floor and space will greatly influence what you should look for.

At Expand Renovate, our goal is to take the hassle out of the building process. After we sign the contract to go ahead with your renovation extension, you can relax. You can rely on us to take care of all the necessary insurances, plumbers, electricians, charges and building approvals. We also provide you with copies of all the planning and building documents required for your insurance and financing purposes.
