Second-storey additions in Orange NSW

Building up keeps your backyard. It is a bigger structural job than a ground-floor extension, so planning matters.

An engineer usually has to confirm the existing house can carry the new load.

What the build usually involves

• Engineering and design
• Approvals through council or a private certifier
• Temporary roof and weather protection
• New stairs, frame and roof
• Services: plumbing, electrical and heating

What moves the price

• The state of the existing footings
• Stair position
• Roof type
• Temporary accommodation costs

Questions for the builder

• Who supplies the engineering?
• What is the plan for weather protection?
• Where will you live during the build?
