Rear and side additions
01.02/ Service
Home extensions
resolved as one home.
Ground-floor and upper-level additions delivered with careful attention to structure, services, access and the transition between old and new.
The service
An extension should improve the whole home—not only add floor area.
The strongest additions resolve how people move, gather, work and connect outdoors. They also account for the practical interfaces between new work and the existing building.

A coherent brief
We look beyond the added rooms to understand circulation, daylight, privacy, storage and how the existing plan needs to change.
Old-to-new interfaces
Structure, rooflines, waterproofing, services, floor levels and finishes all need deliberate resolution where the extension meets the home.
Site strategy
Access, neighbours, material handling, temporary protection and sequencing are considered early, especially on constrained Brisbane sites.
Useful to know
Questions to resolve early.
Do you build from architectural plans?
Yes. Contura works collaboratively with architects, designers and engineers and values well-resolved design documentation.
Can an extension be priced from a concept?
A concept can support early feasibility, but reliable construction pricing needs enough coordinated information to define the scope and key risks.
Which Brisbane areas do you service?
Brisbane is the core service area. Select South East Queensland projects are considered where the project and delivery model align.
