Experts in seamless home extensions

There are several reasons you might consider a house extension. Perhaps you’ve outgrown your home but you love the part of Melbourne that you live in. Maybe you’d like to add a home office or extend the living room. Whatever the reason, our extensions will add value to your property and add a new spark to your living space.

We’re experts in home extensions Melbourne, focusing our attention on the minor details that other home builders may overlook. We work closely with you and offer an end-to-end service incorporating everything you need for a great result.

We understand you may be unfamiliar with the building process. To ensure you understand each phase of the construction process, we’ll provide you with an information pack which includes what we call ‘The Journey.’ This details our construction process from the initial concept through to post-project completion.

Our Project Management and Customer Care systems are also designed to keep the extensions process simple and keep you informed of the steps we’ll take together to improve your home.

Single storey extensions

Single storey extensions can be an excellent use of space, especially for larger blocks of land. When executed correctly, they can transform your home and lifestyle. Use of skylights in this type of extensions can really maximise the natural light in your home.

Double storey extensions

Double storey extensions help you to create both living space and accommodation at the same time. They’re perfect for growing families or if you feel as though your home is no longer large enough to suit your needs or lifestyle. These type of extensions can be added to existing period homes and homes that have town planning or heritage restrictions

Double storey on single extensions

An upper floor extension (or addition) can add significant value to your existing property. Finding the right balance between looking good, being functional and remaining within budget is key to achieving the best result. This type of extension is popular with homeowners who don’t want to lose garden space while increasing their living space.

Home extension process
Making it easy for you

We’ll look after you every step of the way by providing a complete architectural design and construction service for your new home. Here’s a brief overview of the easy step-by-step design process we’ll enjoy together in realising your vision.

Learn More
You’ll meet with one of our designers to discuss your extension, renovation or new home design needs, your wishes, the ‘look’ you want to achieve and your budget. Use this time to personalise your project, tell us your goals, show us pictures you may have collected along the way of homes you like and brainstorm your ideas with us. A concept design plan will be discussed in line with your proposed budget.
Based on our meeting with you, our skilled designer will then prepare a draft concept design. You’ll meet with your designer again to review and confirm that we have interpreted your ideas correctly and the home design is what you’re looking to achieve. If required, any changes are made to accommodate your needs.
Once the design is approved by you, our estimator will prepare a Budget Estimate and preliminary specifications that outline what is included in the estimate. We again review this with you to confirm and make final adjustments. We guarantee our budget estimates to be within 5% of a fixed price quote/contract based on the information we have at this point.
When you’re completely comfortable with the information provided, we can begin to discuss the next step which is the documentation stage. This will be presented to you in the form of a preliminary agreement and includes the preparation of building engineering and town planning plans, soil reports and final contract specifications.
Once you’re satisfied with all of the relevant documents you will be presented with a copy of the ‘Plain English’ Housing Industry Association Standard Building Contract’ for your review. The contract includes a fixed completion date and the homeowners’ warranty guarantee.
A great experience and result.We were looking for a company that would manage the renovation process making it as stress free as possible and deliver a great result. which is exactly what Sherbrooke Construction did for us.We initially had a few challenges communicating the aesthetic we wanted but after consultation with Rob one of the owners they nailed it exactly.Once in the construction phase Carl and Ashleigh managed the process. Both of them are highly experienced and guided us through each stage of the build. Carl is a wealth of knowledge and when presented with an unexpected challenge he would take the time to explain the situation and the solutions available to us.Sherbrooke has a highly systemised process, our renovation was actually completed to the exact week they had originally estimated. As a client you are given access to a web portal that keeps all communication, documents, costs, contracts, etc in a central hub so you are always in the loop.Once the renovation was completed and we moved back in we had a couple of small defects/fixes that were required. Sherbrooke followed up with a dedicated maintenance team and process to make sure any issues are taken care of.We are very happy with the result and our decision to use Sherbrooke Construction. Thank you to Rob, Graham, Ashleigh, and Carl.We highly recommend Sherbrooke Construction. They have a great process and team and deliver what they promise.

An extremely positive experience. Construction has taken about 12 months - as per the contract. Our project manager Carl has done excellent job, his attention to the details was above our expectation. Sherbrooke Constructions is firm of an excellent balance of individualised approach of a boutique firm and the rules, checks and procedures of the bigger construction corporation. The credit must be give to the owners Rob and Grahame for setting, implementing and maintaining the structure and company policies the way they are. We would not hesitate to use them again or recommend to the others.

We know nothing about renovation. All we have is a dream - to live in our dream house. Thanks to the very professional team we found - Sherbrooke, from the initial consultation with Michael, architect Ken, to our project managers Kevin & Nina, and all the tradies, color expert involved, each part of our project was carried out perfectly and efficiently. Now we have completed our "Mission Impossible".Think hard what you want, communicate/learn from the experts/team, talk to your project manager - trust yourself, you will be astonished by the superb end result achieved with Sherbrooke!

Good build quality, on time and only 2% over spend. Very good communicators and excellent systems more so than past single owner builders we have gone through for past extensions. A slick efficient crew.

From the outset to final handover Sherbrooke constructions were great to deal with, communicated effectively and were always available to help. We couldn’t be happier with our new renovation which the Sherbrooke team strove to achieve, understanding our end goals and providing helpful advice along the way. The level of finishes was exactly what we hoped for and made the whole process a very pleasant experience. I would highly recommend Sherbrooke Constructions for your next build or renovation

We had a wonderful experience with Sherbrooke Construction. From the initial consultation, to the final hand over, everything went well and smoothly. We even got the house back almost 2 months earlier than the contract date! During the renovation and extension period, the site manger and contract administrator were both easy to reach and they were always there to help. They provided lots of helpful tips along the way. Sherbrooke used a very user-friendly app (for computer and phone) to keep track of the project as well as the selections that I have to choose. It made my life much easier! After we had the house back, Sherbrooke didn't just walk away, they kept in touch with me and made sure the house was in good condition. They have the 3 month and 6 month review meeting for maintenance team to fix any problems associated with the job. I really enjoyed working with Sherbrooke Construction and very happy with the final result. I would definitely recommend the company to all my family and friends who needs their service. Thank you very much ,Sherbrooke!
