Can I add an extension to my house?

Extending your house is always a workable option to create more living space without the hassle that comes with relocating. We provide a full package in designing and constructing extensions that effectively match your current house, whether functional or aesthetic, or both. 

Our team will not only appraise your property for the type of extension that best suits it, but also discuss with you all the needs and take you through any local council regulations so that your extension meets the criteria for potential additions and compliances. The extra bedroom, larger kitchen, maybe the new living area-we can build it all for you. Look no further for all this and more, as our expert builders are here to make it happen for you.

There are a few important steps and considerations to keep in mind:

1. Building Consent: Most house extensions will require a building consent. This is necessary for any structural work, additions, or significant alterations. Ensure your plans comply with the Building Code and check with the Christchurch City Council to see if your specific project requires consent​.

2. Resource Consent: Depending on the scope and impact of your extension, you might also need a resource consent, especially if your project affects the environment, heritage sites, or neighbouring properties​.

3. Planning and Design: Before starting, it’s crucial to have a detailed plan. Consider your budget, the extension’s design, and how it integrates with your existing home. Hiring an architect or a professional builder can help streamline this process and ensure all regulations are met.

4. Professional Help: Using licensed tradespeople is essential. They ensure the work meets safety and quality standards and handle the necessary paperwork for consents and permits​.

By following these guidelines, you can successfully add an extension to your home, enhancing its value and functionality. For detailed information, you can consult the Christchurch City Council’s resources or visit the New Zealand Government’s renovation guidelines online.
