Home Extensions Port Melbourne
Expand Your Living Space
Create the space your family needs without leaving the neighbourhood you love. Our home extensions blend seamlessly with your existing property while adding real value to your home.
More space without the hassle of moving
Why Choose a Home Extension?
Moving house can be stressful, expensive, and disruptive. A well-planned home extension offers a practical alternative that keeps you in the location you love while creating the extra space your family needs.
Whether you need an additional bedroom, a larger living area, or a dedicated home office, extending your property allows you to design spaces that work for your lifestyle. Many homeowners in Preston and surrounding areas have found that extensions offer better value than purchasing a larger property, especially when you factor in stamp duty, agent fees, and moving costs.
At FeaturePoint Constructions, we handle everything from initial design concepts through to final completion. Our team works closely with you to understand your requirements, navigate council approval processes, and deliver results that exceed expectations. We also offer comprehensive project management to ensure your extension is completed on time and within budget.

How We Work

Our qualified tradespeople begin building your extension with minimal disruption to your daily life. We maintain clear communication throughout and keep the site clean and safe.

What Affects the Cost of a Home Extension?
Understanding the factors that influence your investment
Home extension costs vary significantly depending on several factors. The size and complexity of your project naturally play a major role, but there are other considerations that can affect your final investment.
Structural requirements often influence costs, particularly for second-storey additions where existing foundations may need reinforcement. The level of finish you choose, from standard fixtures to premium materials, will also impact your budget. Site access, demolition requirements, and the need for temporary accommodation during construction are additional factors worth considering.
We provide detailed quotations that break down costs clearly, so you understand exactly what you are paying for. Our approach focuses on transparent pricing with no hidden surprises. For guidance on budgeting for your project, we recommend reading our detailed extension planning guide or contacting us for a personalised assessment.
Many clients also combine their extension with kitchen renovations or bathroom upgrades to minimise disruption and achieve a cohesive result throughout their home.
Building Extensions in Port Melbourne
Local knowledge that makes a difference to your project
