Design Service

Design Service

The initial meeting with your professional home extension designer is at no charge. At this meeting you will have the opportunity to discuss your thoughts, ideas and requirements with our house extension expert.Drawing on their wealth of knowledge and experience with all types of home extensions they can make informed suggestions and give great advice and feedback regarding viability and indicative costs of the house extension being discussed before you consider moving forward with more formal designs and costings.

The creativity and attention to detail that our designers display in their work will have you delighted. All their ideas are based on what you want out of your house extension. We want to ensure that you love your new extension and get the most functionality as possible out of it. This means we might suggest a tweak here or there to maximise the features of your home, or to allow better movement and liveability throughout the space. But we will always listen to you fully before making our own comments.

Working Drawings

Working Drawings

Extensions Unlimited employs specialist registered practitioners to produce your plans. These working drawings are what the builder will use to accurately construct your extension. Again, in this case our end-to-end service saves you time and hassle as we already have trusted specialists at hand for this purpose.

Permits and Engineering

Permits and Engineering

At this planning stage, we organise compliance for all building regulations from your council. They will require building permits, as well as a host of reports including soil reports and bushfire reports, amongst others. We’ll get approval for your renovation by directly negotiating with the council on your behalf. We’ll also take care of any fees necessary to meet all council requirements. All this is fully covered in the fixed price for your renovation.

Assurances

Assurances

Our assurances have been put into place in alignment with our ethos of best building practice. When you work with Extensions Unlimited, you know that only HIC6 Master Builder Home Improvement contracts are used. You can rest assured that your project will have a single fixed price and a clear start and completion date. You will be protected by all the necessary insurance, and in addition, you will be issued with a warranty insurance certificate on completion of the project.
