How much does a home extension cost?
Extending a house is usually less expensive than moving to a larger home, especially when you factor in legal fees, stamp duty and other costs associated with the project. A custom-built timber frame extension can cost around $1,800 per square metre. Concrete block extensions range from $1,800 to $3,000 per square metre.
In the case of a house extension using glass and steel, the cost per square metre can be up to $3,000.
The type of house extension chosen and its location
There are various options for extending your home, from building a single-storey extension, raising the roof, converting the attic, converting the garage.
Depending on your needs and the available space, the chosen solution will affect the price. If it is not a single-storey extension, it can be attached to your house or built separately in the garden.
The technical constraints will vary depending on its location.
For example, a house extension involving raising the roof is very laborious. Depending on the condition of the property, you may need to replace the roof, provide access to the attic, or even check the insulation of the walls. All of these factors are taken into account when preparing the price list.

Desired finish
Depending on the type of extension, you may need to make certain renovations. For example, if your garage is used for multiple purposes (car parking, cellar, pantry or laundry room), the work sometimes becomes more complicated. This renovation will include specific finishing, systematic installation and the creation of partitions (if necessary).
If your extension project includes the addition of a wet room (toilet, bathroom, kitchen, etc.), its finishing must be perfect. Specific finishing, custom-made furniture, selection of sanitary ware, painting and decoration... Choose professionals like our company to obtain high-quality finishing for your home extension.
Quality of materials
The materials used for home extensions are of different types: wood, concrete, metal, cinder block, brick, glass, etc. Each has a specific price. For example, wood is an affordable material. It offers many advantages in terms of thermal insulation and aesthetics. Being easy to install, wooden extensions can be adapted to any type of terrain.
Rules to follow when extending a home
Like any other renovation project, home extensions must comply with certain rules. You should consult your local urban development plan (PLU) to find out which rules apply.
Legal obligations before starting work
Before starting construction, you must obtain various permits to avoid any disputes during the work.
Administrative formalities related to your project
These documents help the authorities ensure that your work complies with established urban planning regulations. Any work that may affect the daily life of neighbors must be reported to the municipality using a specific form.
This usually applies to house extensions where the new floor area is less than 20 square meters (40 square meters according to the PLU). A building permit is required for large-scale extensions.
If the total area of the extension exceeds 150 square meters, you must hire an architect. No permit is required for extensions of less than 5 square meters. Our renovation company is ready to help you obtain the necessary permits.
Thermal regulations for house extensions
Like new construction, house extensions are also regulated by strict thermal regulations.
The works involved are of various types. For example:
Building a new house attached to an existing property,
Converting attic space by raising the roof,
Adding a floor to your building. To protect the environment and ensure your safety, your construction site must comply with the electrical energy performance standards for electrical equipment.
The mandatory thermal regulations for home extensions have changed since 2022.
Electrical energy prioritizes decarbonization and energy efficiency. It therefore encourages the choice of renewable heating systems. This regulation also introduces a new indicator called "summer comfort".
Next steps for extension work
After extending your home, you must notify the public authorities. Therefore, do not forget to send a declaration of completion of work (DAACT) to the urban planning department of your municipality. Through this process, you can obtain a certificate of compliance, which confirms that your work has been completed in accordance with the regulations. It is usually issued by the relevant authority (in this case, the municipality) within 15 days.
The increase in the living space of your home must also be declared to the tax authorities within 3 months of completion of the work. Don't forget to also inform your insurance company about this change, so that your policy can be updated.
