The Second Storey Addition Process

From concept to your expanded home

We discuss your vision, space requirements, and budget. We provide expert advice on what is structurally possible on your specific property and how to maximise the new level.

Working with trusted architects and structural engineers, we create detailed drawings and 3D visualisations. We assess the structural capacity of your existing home and design appropriate support systems.

We handle all applications for building and resource consents with the Auckland Council, including structural engineer certification. We manage the entire approval process on your behalf.

We guide you through selecting materials, colours, and finishes that complement your existing home and reflect your vision.

You receive a comprehensive quote that details every aspect of the second storey addition and cost, presented in person for complete clarity.

Your dedicated Site Foreman manages the entire build, coordinating all trades and ensuring timelines are met. You receive regular updates and have constant contact with your project manager.

We conduct comprehensive Quality Assurance checks and provide a final walkthrough to ensure your new storey exceeds expectations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Let us answer some of your questions regarding our services and business

1Will my existing home's foundation support a second storey?

Yes, almost all ground floor extensions require building consent from the Auckland Council. Depending on your specific design and section, resource consent may also be required. We handle the entire application process for you.

A typical ground floor extension takes between 3 to 5 months, depending on the size, complexity of the design, and site conditions. We provide a detailed timeline during the quotation phase.

A typical second storey addition takes between 5 to 8 months, depending on the size, complexity of the design, structural requirements, and site conditions. We provide a detailed timeline during the quotation phase.

Yes, you can remain in your home during most of the construction process. However, you will experience disruption during structural work, and we recommend being prepared for noise, vibration, and temporary inconvenience. We will discuss the best approach and timeline during your consultation.
