Moving is expensive, disruptive, and often means compromising on location. If you've outgrown your current home but like where you live, extending is usually the smarter option - you get the space you need without losing the neighbourhood, the school zone, or the section you've already invested in.

Refresh Renovations North Shore designs and builds extensions that feel like they were always part of the house. Not an add-on, but a proper, seamless addition that works with the existing structure and suits how your family actually lives.

What's included

We handle the full scope: design and feasibility, single and multi-storey extensions, bedroom, kitchen and living additions, granny flats and sleepouts, home offices and media rooms, accessibility modifications, and all council consents and project management. One consultant manages everything from the first conversation to the final inspection.

What North Shore homeowners are extending for

The most common drivers we see are growing families needing more bedrooms, people wanting a dedicated home office that isn't the dining table, couples adding a master suite or ensuite, and homeowners expanding their kitchen and living area to create better flow. Second storey additions are also increasingly popular on the North Shore where sections don't always allow for building out.

How Much Does It Cost?

Home extensions on the North Shore typically range from $3,000 to $4,500 per square metre and above, depending on complexity, materials, and whether the build is single or multi-storey. For most projects, building consent is required - we manage that process entirely. The best way to get an accurate number is a consultation, where we can assess your home and give you a fixed quote based on your actual scope.

Do You Need Council Consent?

For most extensions, yes. We handle the entire consenting process as part of the project, making sure everything meets current building regulations before a single foundation is poured.
