Common Building cost questions

How much does a home extension cost in Australia?
A single-storey extension costs $2,500-$5,000 per square metre in Australia with standard finishes, so a 40 sqm extension typically lands between $100,000 and $200,000 including approvals and engineering. Sydney and Canberra sit at the top of the range; Adelaide and Hobart at the bottom.
How much does a second-storey addition cost in Australia?
Adding a second storey costs $250,000-$600,000 nationally. Much of the spend is structural - reinforcing footings, new steel at ground level, a staircase and a new roof - before any rooms are fitted out.
How much does a knock-down rebuild cost in Australia?
A knock-down rebuild of a standard 3-4 bedroom single-storey home costs $450,000-$1,000,000+ in Australia, including demolition ($15,000-$40,000) and a new build at $2,200-$4,500 per sqm. Two storeys, premium finishes and difficult blocks sit at the top of the range.
Is it cheaper to renovate or rebuild?
Renovating is cheaper for sound homes needing partial work. Once a whole-house renovation approaches 60-70% of a rebuild cost - common in older homes with asbestos, rewiring and structural repairs - a knock-down rebuild usually gives better value and a full builder's warranty.
How much does a granny flat cost in Australia?
A turnkey 1-2 bedroom granny flat costs $120,000-$250,000 in Australia. Modular and kit builds sit at the low end; custom-designed flats with premium finishes and separate services run higher. Size limits and approval pathways vary by state.
Do builders need to be licensed in Australia?
Yes. Residential building work above a modest dollar threshold requires a licensed or registered builder in every state and territory, and home warranty insurance is compulsory above a set contract value. The regulator and threshold vary by state - check the licence number and insurance before signing or paying a deposit.
