As a Melbourne homeowner, you’ve reached that familiar crossroads: your current space no longer meets your family’s needs. With over 640 successful renovation projects completed across Melbourne, we at Unipro Constructions understand this dilemma intimately.
“Should I extend my home or renovate the existing space?” — The question we hear most from Melbourne homeowners
Both options offer unique benefits, and the right choice depends on your budget, lifestyle, and long-term vision for your home.
Working within your existing footprint
Renovation involves upgrading your current space without adding square footage. Think open-plan living, modern kitchens, or refreshed bathrooms.
Adding new space to your property
Extension means physically adding space — whether it’s a second storey, rear living area, or extra bedrooms.
Balwyn North and Melbourne suburbs have specific requirements. Our experience with VIC 3104 area ensures we navigate approvals efficiently.
Extensions often cost more due to new foundations. Renovations may reveal hidden issues. Always include a 10-15% contingency.
Kitchen/bathroom updates offer strong returns. Adding living space can significantly boost your Balwyn North property’s value.
Renovations mean living with disruption. Extensions might allow normal life in unaffected areas. We help plan around your routine.
Many of our 8 upcoming projects combine extending and renovating. For example:
Typical Hybrid Project: Add a rear extension for a new kitchen/living area + renovate existing bedrooms and bathrooms.
With 10 years of experience, we specialise in these complex, transformative projects that deliver maximum value.
