Intro
Considered, custom, built to last.
The hardest part of an extension isn't the new work — it's making the old and new read as one house. Roof lines, floor levels, window proportions, brick and render matching. Get any of it wrong and it will always look like an addition.
Pricing guidance
From $180,000
Home extensions typically sit between $180k and $650k+ depending on size, structure and finish level.
Extensions typically run 3–7 months depending on scope, footings and finish.
Benefits
What you get from CIB.
Roof and floor lines that tie in
We survey and set out carefully so the join disappears.
Structural work handled properly
Engineers, footings, tie-ins. Nothing hidden or improvised.
Character retained where it counts
Old cornices, skirtings and windows either kept, matched or thoughtfully replaced.
Common problems
What we see when others cut corners.
- Additions that look bolted on
- Steps between old and new floors
- Rooflines that fight the original

Words
Clients on the work.
"Chris was the only builder who told us what our reno was actually going to cost — and then held to the number. Every trade he brought through was excellent. The finish is beyond what we thought was possible in our old cottage."

"We were burned by a builder on our last renovation. CIB was the opposite experience — communication every week, decisions logged, and a finish that looks like a five-star hotel. Worth every dollar."

FAQs
The things clients ask us.
Do you handle council approvals?+
Yes. We prepare and manage the DA / building permit alongside your designer or ours.
Second storey or ground floor?+
Both. Second-storey adds usually take longer because structure and staircase need real thought.
