House extensions

A considered extension can add the space your household needs while respecting the structure, character and flow of the existing home.

Adding to your home

Chandolin Construction builds tailored extensions across Bathurst and Central West NSW, from second-storey additions and expanded living areas to new bedrooms for growing families.

Each addition is planned to feel like it has always belonged—both in its appearance and in the way it connects with the existing layout.

A starting point for your conversation

Start with where your home feels short of space, what you would like to keep, and how the new rooms should connect with everyday life.

Keep these prompts in mind when you get in touch.

Ways to extend

The right option depends on your available space, the existing structure and the rooms you need.

Second-storey additions

Create extra bedrooms or living space while making better use of the home’s existing footprint.

Plan the connection

Planning the connection

Start with the relationships: existing rooms, new space and the way you move outside. Each addition places different demands on the layout and structure.

Illustrative relationships only — not a project plan.

Bring to the first conversation

Existing plans and ideas

Bring any existing plans and show the rooms you would like to add or change. Point out the connections you want to keep between the existing home and the addition.

Where the home feels constrained

Explain where everyday life feels short of space: gathering together, finding a quiet room or accommodating a growing household. This helps the conversation focus on what the extra space needs to do.

The site and access

Note how you move between the house, outdoor areas and access around the property. Bring questions about how the proposed addition might affect those connections; site conditions need to be assessed as part of planning.

Site conditions and approval requirements need to be assessed before the design and scope can be settled.

Common questions

Do I need council approval for a home extension?

In most cases, a major structural addition or extension will require approval. Requirements depend on the property, local planning controls, building codes and the proposed work, so they should be checked before construction begins.

How long does a home extension take?

Timing depends on the scale and complexity of the addition, approvals, existing conditions, weather and material availability. A project-specific programme can be discussed after the scope is understood.

What is the best type of extension for a growing family?

The right option depends on the site and how the family uses the home. Second-storey additions, rear extensions and garage conversions can each create valuable space when they connect naturally with the existing layout.
