From plans to approval to build

Extension FAQs

Do I need approval for an extension?

Most extensions need either a complying development certificate (CDC), which is often quicker, or a development application (DA) through council. We’ll tell you which applies and manage it for you.

Can we stay in the house during the build?

Often, yes, for ground-floor extensions. First-floor additions may need you to move out for part of the build. We’ll plan this with you upfront.
