Frequently Asked Questions about house extensions in Invercargill

When homeowners are considering adding space to their home, they have a few questions about the process. Here are a few of the most common ones:

Will a house extension add value to my home?

Yes, by creating extra usable space in your home, the value of your property can increase for the right buyer. However, it is important that you don’t overcapitalise on your home during the home extension project. Careful budget management and expert project planning will help to avoid that, but it’s certainly a reason to be speaking to your local Renovation Consultant.

Do I need approval from Invercargill City Council to extend my house?

If you’re increasing the footprint of your home, then yes you will need council consent for your home extension project. At Refresh, this is all part of the process. Our Renovation Consultants know local council bylaws and what’s required for consent applications. They’ll collate, document, prepare, and submit all of the information you need for council approval.

How much will my home extension cost in Invercargill?

The cost of your home extension in Invercargill will depend very much on how big (or small) your extension is going to be. Some homeowners just want to add a room; others are going for a house extension with a second floor. Other factors that will contribute to your house extension cost is the potential need for excavation, engineering, planning, and strengthening work. 

At Refresh, we provide a fixed quote accurate to your home extension project so you’ll know exactly what the cost is going to be before you embark on your renovation journey.

Top tips for a house extension in Invercargill

Plan

Plan your house extension from the outset. Take the time to look at other home extensions, speak with homeowners who have extended their properties and ask what advice they can give. Do your research into what makes an effective house extension and what to avoid, and be sure everyone is on the same page before you begin your project.

Prepare

Don’t go in unprepared. Have the right people around you, the right decisions made, the programme of works outlined, and an agreed budget. You can never be too prepared when it comes to a home renovation.

Project Manage

Choose a project manager you can trust to oversee the job. At Refresh Renovations, our Renovation Consultants are local; they know Invercargill well. They have the right network of people to hand and are familiar with all that is needed to get a renovation project completed on time, to budget, and with a successful outcome.
