Years Experience
how to Make The Most of Your Second Storey Renovation
What you use your second storey renovation for is completely up to you. We’re just here to bring your vision to life. If you need some ideas, we frequently add second levels to homes for more bedroom space, adding home offices or studios or even extending existing top floors for more space. We can work with your plans or you can utilise our reliable network of engineers, draftspeople and designers to turn your ideas into a plan of action.
Bedroom Additions
Feel like you’re living on top of one another? Adding a second storey addition to your home can give you the space to grow your family, have guests stay or give the kids (or yourself) a retreat away from the rest of the house. We can add ensuites, bathrooms, walk-in wardrobes and all the other amenities you need.
Home Offices & Studios
If you’ve started a business from home, work remotely or need space to create content, a second storey addition can give you all the room you need. We can add a single room or multiple areas, incorporating soundproofing, shoot-worthy lighting and anything else you need to work in peace.
Outdoor Connections
Backed by 20 years of experience working on luxury homes, we know how to bring the outdoors indoors, even upstairs. We can build out balconies, terraces or upper level decking, include large windows and doors in your design, and make sure you’re capturing the best views and ventilation.
Kitchen & Dining Extensions
That waterfront deserves to be seen in all its glory. We often work with homeowners who add a storey with kitchens and dining spaces so they can enjoy their views more, also giving them a separate space to entertain. In the process, we can remodel your downstairs, giving you the best layout to suit your lifestyle.

Frequently Asked Questions About Second Floor Additions
How do I know if my home can support a second storey?
Whether or not your home can support a second storey depends on the stability of your soil, foundation, footings and existing walls. You will need a licensed builder or structural engineer to inspect your property and advise if it can support a second storey. If your home is not currently suitable, they may recommend reinforcing the foundation, walls or load-bearing beams to safely support the weight of a second storey to your home.
Do I need planning permission to add a second story in Queensland?
Yes, you will need planning permission from your local council to add a second storey to a home in Queensland. As a second storey is considered a major project, it will need to be compliant with your local zoning, neighbour plans and building codes. Working with a reputable construction company experienced in second floor additions can help streamline the process for as little stress as possible. You can find Gold Coast building requirements on the Gold Coast City Council website.
Will I need a new roof for a second story addition?
In most cases, you will need a new roof when adding a second storey to a house. This is important for making sure the roof can support the extra level and so it fits with the new framework. The new roof is built to match the proportions, size and materials of your new upper level, helping your home be safe as well as look cohesive.
Can we live in the home while adding a second storey?
As adding a second storey to a home required major construction, also producing significant dust and noise, it’s recommended you not live in the home while work is underway. If only a section of the home is being extended, you may still be able to live in the home. This can be discussed during your consultation so you know what to expect and can plan ahead.
What are the benefits of adding a second storey to a property?
There are many benefits of extending a home with a second storey addition, including adding additional living space, increasing your home value and being able to do so without reducing your yard size. It’s a good option for growing families or expanding a smaller home without having to move.
How long does a second storey addition take?
The average second storey home addition can take between 6 to 12 months. It depends on the availability of materials, the size of the project, approval process, weather and many other factors. During your consultation, we will give your an estimated timeline and process for your specific extension so you know exactly what to expect from the very beginning.
