Frequently Asked Question
What factors affect the cost of a home extension?
Extension costs depend on size, complexity, chosen finishes, site conditions, and local requirements. We provide detailed cost breakdowns during consultation.
Home extension costs vary significantly based on several key factors. The size of the extension is the primary cost driver; larger projects naturally require more materials, labour, and time. Building complexity also matters; a simple rectangular single-storey extension costs considerably less than a multi-level extension with complex roofing, integrated utilities, or unusual architectural features.
Your chosen finishes and specifications significantly impact the budget. A basic extension with standard materials, fixtures, and fittings costs less than one featuring high-end kitchens, premium flooring, or custom built-in storage. Site conditions also play a role; extensions on sloping terrain or with poor soil conditions may require additional foundation work, geotechnical assessment, or specialised drainage solutions that increase costs.
Location within Port Melbourne can affect pricing due to local council requirements, heritage considerations, or neighbourhood character overlays that may impose specific design standards. Labour availability and material costs also fluctuate seasonally. During our initial consultation, FeaturePoint Constructions provides a detailed cost breakdown based on your specific project, helping you understand where your investment goes and identify areas where you might adjust specifications to suit your budget.
