Second-storey additions, reconfigurations and full renovations
Renovating a home you're still living in is a different discipline to building on an empty block — the site is tighter, the sequencing matters more, and keeping disruption to a minimum is part of the job, not an afterthought.
From kitchen and bathroom remodels through to full second-storey additions, we plan the build sequence around your household, staging trades to limit the time any one part of the home is out of action.
Structural work — new openings, load-bearing changes, second-storey additions — is engineered and permitted before demolition starts, so there are no stalled sites waiting on approvals.
What's Included
- Second-storey additions and structural extensions
- Kitchen and bathroom remodels
- Staged construction to minimise disruption
- Structural engineering and permits handled upfront
- Careful matching of new work to existing finishes
How We
Work Together.
Every Formex Homes project — including this one — runs through the same five stages.
Consultation
We walk your site or block, talk through your brief, budget and timeline — a real conversation, not a questionnaire.
Design
Concept plans and material selections refined together until the design is locked.
Approvals
We manage council and permit approvals, and finalise your fixed-price contract.
Construction
Building begins with scheduled site visits and weekly progress updates.
Handover
Final walkthrough, quality sign-off, and keys handed over with full documentation.
What This
Looks Like.

InteriorWhat Makes This
Different.
Built around your household
Trade sequencing is staged so the parts of the home you still need stay livable for as long as possible.
Structural work permitted upfront
Engineering and permits for extensions are finalised before demolition, avoiding stalled sites mid-project.
Finish-matching to the existing home
New work is detailed to sit naturally alongside existing finishes rather than looking visibly bolted on.
Our second-storey extension was finished on schedule and the site was left clean every day. Communication was clear from day one.
About This
Service.
In most cases, yes — we sequence trades to keep at least part of the home livable, though full second-storey additions may require short relocation during key structural stages.
We source materials and detailing to match existing cornices, flooring and cladding as closely as possible, flagging any point where an exact match isn't available.
Any structural surprise is documented with photos and priced as a variation before work proceeds — you approve it before we continue, never after.
