Planning a home extension: what you need to know

A well-planned home extension can completely transform how you live. Adding space, improving flow, and boosting the value of your property. Whether you’re expanding for a growing family, adding a new bedroom, or creating a spacious open-plan living area, thoughtful planning is key to a successful outcome. The best results come from understanding your goals, knowing what’s possible on your site, and considering everything from design details to local council requirements.

At LCW Carpentry and Construction, we specialise in designing and building seamless home extensions across Melbourne and the Macedon Ranges. Our team partners with homeowners in areas like Gisborne, Sunbury, Kew, and Northcote to deliver custom extensions that feel like a natural part of the home while upgrading its functionality and comfort.

We take care of every stage of the process. From concept and council approvals to construction and finishing. With our experienced builders and project managers, you’ll have the guidance and support you need to make confident decisions every step of the way.

One of the most important aspects of any extension is integration. Matching rooflines, materials, and architectural details ensures the new space doesn’t feel like an afterthought. We also consider natural light, ventilation, and energy efficiency to enhance everyday living while keeping long-term performance in mind.

Whether you’re building outwards into the backyard, extending upwards with a second storey, or reconfiguring your internal layout, our expert team ensures precision and attention to detail in every phase of the build.
