Why make an alteration or addition?
There are numerous reasons why you might consider changing or adding to a property, be it your home or a rental property. In many cases, it’s a matter of convenience — a poor design outcome from the past, such as an entrance that’s tough to navigate or a hallway that is dark and dingy — can add a lot of discomfort to daily living. Our aim is to declutter or modernise the current design or design your alteration to be in keeping with the original character of the home. For example, an outdoor area that looked new and appealing in the eighties might seem dated today if it were attached to a more recently added indoor space.
Either way, an alteration or addition can not only make a dwelling more attractive, it can add significant value. Even if you’re not contemplating hitting the market at the moment, there’s no reason not to boost your property’s selling points. Our approach will ensure we are designing with the market indicators in mind.

Alterations and additions – small, medium and large
We can assist with alterations and additions of all kinds, for all purposes. Just some of the projects we work on regularly include decks, pergolas, swimming pools, ground and first floor extensions and renovations. We cover all low and medium density properties, including single-level dwellings and two-storey buildings, be they free-standing or semi-detached.
If you own a building located in a heritage conservation area or your property has other restrictions surrounding its development potential, and you’re struggling to get your head around the numerous planning controls, then worry no more. We’ll make sure your plan fulfils all the necessary criteria and sort out all the required documentation.
Heritage Conservation is just one issue that can affect a proposal for an alteration or addition. We’re also well prepared to handle applications in areas where other restrictions may be present, such as flood and bushfire zones, easements, sewer mains and protected trees. If you’re in any doubt whatsoever about if an alteration or addition to your dwelling is possible, please don’t hesitate to get in touch by calling 02 9980 9528.
