    Choose the right Brisbane house extension designer

    Don’t risk wasting time and money on extension house designs that are hard to build or don’t meet council requirements.

    Some designers focus only on how plans look, leaving you to handle approvals and costly changes later. We create home extension design plans that are practical, compliant, and ready to build, helping you avoid delays and unexpected expenses.

    5 customer reviews for our drafting services and building design services

    Thomas Clarke

    ADG have helped me build and design my dream home. They were super efficient and had great communication. We were always kept up to date with progress and were very lenient with our suggestions. ADG refuse to cut corners and are willing to spend more time and money to ensure everything was done professionally and according to the AS. 10/10. Would recommend to anyone wanting to renovate. Thank you so much to ADG and their responsive, friendly, experienced team

    Herodotos Karalouka

    From the initial design consultation, to the finished product, I cannot recommend Alex and the team at ADG Construction highly enough. Their industry knowledge and quality workmanship are second to none. I will certainly be using ADG again for my next renovation and will not hesitate to recommend them to my friends and family.

    Marco Currenti

    We closed in our garage and rumpus and turn it into an additional 3 bed 2 bath home. Alex was very experienced, has a heap of great ideas and kept us in the loop with any changes. We didn’t know where to start but Alex helped through the entire process including design. Very happy with the outcome and the value added to the house.

    Callum Wishart

    I provided ADG with a tough design and they surpassed my expectations - would highly recommend for any construction job. Very friendly service as well

    Brisbane House Extension Plans FAQs

    Do I need an architect for house extension plans?

    Not always. In most Brisbane home extensions, a licensed building designer can provide all the building plans for extensions and documentation needed for both council approval and construction. Building designers focus on practical, buildable plans that work with your existing home and meet local codes.

    Hiring an architect is generally only necessary for highly complex or large-scale projects. For typical Brisbane family homes, working with a building designer is a cost-effective option that still gives you creative, detailed, and compliant extension plans.

    Our in-house design team consists of both architects and building designers so you’ll engage the right professional for your required scope of work.

    What types of council approvals are required for home extensions in Brisbane?

    Most extensions will need building approval, which ensures your design meets the Australian Building Code and local regulations. You’ll also likely need a development application (DA) from Brisbane City Council.

    Our team prepares plans that comply with all relevant codes and can help identify whether your project qualifies for fast-tracked approval. We can handle the submission process so your plans move smoothly from concept to construction.

    Can you design an extension that matches the style of my existing home?

    Yes — that’s one of our specialties. Designing a house extension that blends seamlessly with your existing structure takes experience and attention to detail. Brisbane has a mix of home styles, from traditional Queenslanders in Paddington and Ashgrove to modern brick homes in Carindale and The Gap. We align roof pitches, materials, colours, and architectural features so your new space feels like a natural continuation of your home, not an add-on.

    Should I choose a single-storey or two-storey extension for my home?

    Both options can work beautifully — it depends on your block, lifestyle, and budget. A single-storey extension is perfect if you have enough yard space and want easy access between indoor and outdoor living areas. It’s often more straightforward to build and can suit families with young children or accessibility needs.

    A two-storey extension, on the other hand, lets you add space without reducing your home footprint ,helping maintain the size of your outdoor areas. It’s ideal for tighter blocks or for creating upstairs bedrooms, studies, or parent retreats that take advantage of breezes and views. We’ll help you weigh the pros and cons of each approach to find the right fit for your home.

    Whether you decide to extend out or build up, we can prepare custom house extension plans that make the most of your property. Call us on (07) 3130 0307 to get started!

    Can I request changes to my house extension design during the process?

    Absolutely. We understand that ideas evolve as you see your design come to life. During the design process, we’ll meet with you to review drafts and talk through what’s working and what might need adjustment.

    You’ll have opportunities to request changes to layout, room sizes, or features before final drawings are prepared. Our goal is to make sure your plans reflect both your vision and the practical needs of your household before moving to council submission.
