Adding a second storey can create priceless views and separate living spaces. Before starting, consult a structural engineer or architect to confirm structural feasibility and check council planning rules.
Bungalows and state houses are often ideal candidates for a "pop-the-top" project. Key considerations include matching the new style to your existing home and planning for the staircase, which requires sacrificing ground-floor space. Expect costs around $4,000 to $6,000 per square metre, which can be invaluable for the added lifestyle benefits.
