Frequently Asked Questions

Is it cheaper to extend up or out?

Both options have their pros and cons. A ground-floor extension avoids structural costs of adding a storey but uses more land. A second storey preserves outdoor space but requires structural engineering. Nexus Built can provide a tailored estimate for both options.

Do I need council approval for a house extension in Newcastle?

Most extensions require either a Development Application (DA) or a Complying Development Certificate (CDC). Nexus Built manages the approval process on your behalf.

How long does a house extension take?

The timeframe depends on the size and complexity of the extension. A typical extension takes between 3 and 6 months from approval to handover.
