Second-storey addition
Two bedrooms, a bathroom and a retreat added above an existing home on a steep, tree-covered block.
Second-storey additions
When there is no room to build out, building up adds bedrooms, bathrooms and living space while keeping your garden. We assess the existing structure first, so the plan is right from the start.

Questions
Frequently asked
Will we need to move out?
Often for part of the build, when the roof is opened. We tell you early and plan the timing with you.
Is my home suitable?
Many are. A structural assessment at the start confirms what the existing home can support.
