Turn Your 3×1 Into a 4×2

18 Mar 2021

 

There’s no doubt about it, converting a 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom home into a 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom home is a certain way to add value and market appeal to your property. 

“3 by 1” properties are often overlooked by house-hunters in favour of homes with more accommodation and as a result there are some 3 x 1 properties on the market that represent exceptional value for money. Savy purchasers are snapping up these properties and within a matter of weeks, undertaking a bedroom and bathroom house extension that provides accommodation as well as increasing equity. In the article below, Addstyle will analyse some of the key questions.

How much will it cost?

The cost of a bedroom and bathroom double-brick home addition starts at approximately $110,000. This includes design and drafting services, council approvals, demolition and earthworks, cartage, construction, and finishes such as tiling, tapware and cabinetry.

How long will it take?

The full ‘demolition to handover’ construction process should take approximately 6-8 weeks depending on the size and complexity of the project.

Can I live in the home during construction?

In most cases you can absolutely live in the existing home while works are undertaken. We can create temporary walls to effectively isolate the area of works so you can continue to live in the existing home with minimal disruption.

Can you assist with tiling and cabinetry selections?

At Addstyle Master Builders we have a dedicated Client Manager and selections consultant who is qualified to advise and assist you with all of your selections including cabinetry and tiling. We also have a well-equipped display room with a wide-range of tapware, stones, cabinetry, door furniture etc to choose from. However at Addstyle, we do not restrict our clients to a pre-determined range; we have negotiated rates with many suppliers and showrooms throughout Perth and the south-west, and clients are free to select from any source they wish.
