In the growing suburb of Riddell’s Creek, a family approached LCW Carpentry & Construction needing a home extension that would allow them to stay in their current home while expanding for a more functional lifestyle. The result was a beautiful rear extension featuring a new bedroom, open-plan living area, and improved access to their outdoor zone.
One of the early considerations was ensuring the new extension blended seamlessly with the existing brickwork and roofline. We sourced matching materials and used a custom colour match to maintain architectural cohesion. An important detail for preserving value in character-filled homes common throughout Riddell’s Creek.
This type of carpentry-based renovation offers enormous benefits for homeowners who love where they live but need more space. Here’s what a well-designed home extension can do:
- Adds liveable space without moving suburbs
- Increases resale value dramatically
- Custom design tailored to your lifestyle
- Allows for energy-efficient upgrades
There were a few curveballs during the build, including adjusting the layout to accommodate an unexpected sewer line. With clear communication and clever re-planning, the project stayed on track and stress-free for the client.
More families in Riddell’s Creek are choosing to extend rather than sell, and we’re proud to offer affordable, high-quality construction in the Macedon Ranges that makes this possible. Whether you need an extra room or a full second-storey addition, we’re the team to make it happen.
