Home additions and alterations in Gauteng
Need more space? Extra bedrooms, bigger living areas, flatlets and layout changes, with plans and council approval handled for you.
OVERVIEW
More space, without moving house
Adding on is often the smartest way to get the home you want. An extra bedroom, a bigger kitchen, a home office or a flatlet can add real value to your property without the cost of moving.
Additions have to tie into your existing structure, roof and services, and they need approved plans. We handle that side for you, price the full job with a detailed bill of quantities and build it so the new part looks like it was always there.
Alterations work the same way. Opening up walls, moving a kitchen or reconfiguring rooms is planned properly, with structural checks before anything comes down.

FAQ
Additions and alterations questions
Do I need plans for an addition?
In most cases, yes. Additions and structural alterations need council-approved plans. We can arrange the drawings and submission for you.
Will the addition match my existing house?
That is the goal. We match roof lines, brickwork, plaster and finishes wherever possible so the new space blends in.
Can I take down an internal wall?
Often you can, but some walls carry load. We check the structure first and, where needed, design and install the right beam or support.
How is an addition priced?
With a detailed bill of quantities, the same as all our work. You see every item before you commit.
