Home Extensions Gold Coast: Adding Space Without Moving House

With Gold Coast property prices where they are, many homeowners are choosing to extend rather than upsize. A well-designed extension can add significant value to your home — and give you the space you need without the cost and hassle of selling and buying.

What types of extensions are most popular? The most common extensions we build on the Gold Coast include:

• Ground floor extensions adding a new living area, kitchen, or extra bedroom

• Second storey additions to double the home's footprint

• Deck and alfresco extensions for indoor-outdoor living

• Garage conversions into usable living space

• 
  

How long does an extension take? This depends heavily on size and complexity. A straightforward ground floor extension typically takes 8–16 weeks from start to finish, once approvals are in place.

Do I need council approval? Most extensions require a building approval, and some will also need a development approval depending on the size, setbacks, and your lot. We handle all of this as part of the process at Custom Built Inc.

What does it cost? Every extension is different, but as a rough guide, Gold Coast extensions typically start from around $150,000 for a modest ground floor addition. The best way to get an accurate figure is to get a detailed quote based on your specific plans.
