Frequently Asked Question
How long does a typical home extension take to build?
Most single-storey extensions take three to six months, whilst larger projects may take nine to twelve months. Council approvals and weather can affect timelines.
The timeline for a home extension depends on several factors, including the size of the project, complexity of the design, and current weather conditions. A modest single-storey extension typically takes between three to six months from start to finish, whilst larger or multi-storey extensions may require nine to twelve months or longer.
The process involves multiple stages: initial planning and council approvals, site preparation, foundation work, structural construction, and final finishes. Council approval alone can add four to eight weeks to your timeline, depending on your local authority's workload. At FeaturePoint Constructions, we provide a detailed project schedule during the consultation phase so you understand exactly what to expect at each stage.
Weather can also impact timelines, particularly during Melbourne's winter months when rain and cold temperatures may slow certain construction activities. We work strategically to manage these delays, but it's important to factor in some flexibility when planning your extension project.
