At Addstyle Master Builders, we provide a tailored estimate that reflects your specific requirements and the characteristics of your existing home, ensuring an accurate and realistic cost projection.
Is the second storey addition worth it?
Yes, adding a second storey can be a highly valuable investment. It maximises your living space without sacrificing your yard and can significantly increase property value, especially in established suburbs with limited land availability.
Can you add a storey to an existing house?
Absolutely. Addstyle Master Builders specialises in seamlessly integrating second storey additions to existing homes, enhancing both space and liveability.
Will a two-storey extension add value?
Yes, second storey additions typically add substantial value to your home. They provide increased space and functionality as well as improved street presence, which are major selling points for prospective buyers, particularly in high-demand areas. It is important, however, that the addition is designed and constructed to a high standard, as compromised materials, poor workmanship or shortcuts can undermine the look, durability and value of your home.
How hard is it to add on a second storey?
While complex, it’s entirely manageable with an experienced builder. Addstyle handles everything from design, structural assessments, council approvals and construction by trusted tradespeople, ensuring a smooth process with minimal disruption.
Is it more expensive to build a 2nd storey?
Yes, second storey additions are generally more expensive than ground floor extensions due to scaffolding requirements,staircase installation, access requirements, and roof modifications. However, they preserve outdoor space and can offer better long-term value.
How long does a second storey addition take to complete?
A typical second storey addition can take anywhere from 6 to 9 months to construct.
Do I need to move out during 2nd storey construction?
You can generally remain in your home throughout the construction of a second storey addition. Most of the work takes place above the existing residence, with the ground floor largely unaffected until the final stage when the staircase is installed. This allows you to continue living in the home with minimal disruption to your daily routine.
Will my second storey match the look of my home?
Yes. Addstyle specialises in architecturally-designed additions that complement your home’s existing style, whether it’s heritage, federation, or modern. Seamless integration is a core part of our design philosophy.

Can I customise the layout and design?
Absolutely. Every second storey addition is custom-designed to meet your needs, preferences, and lifestyle. Our design team works closely with you to bring your vision to life.
