Home improvement is a growing trend in Geelong as more people want their homes to be functional and look great. It could be an investment; perhaps you need to change because your family is growing, or you want to increase the future sale price of your home. Increasing the living spaces in your home is a good idea because it's useful now, and you may make a profit from it in the future (by getting a higher sale price).
It's a good idea to use professional builders for this work. In Geelong, most house extensions and renovations are given to residential building companies because the quality of the changes will be very high, and they can also help people to decide what to do (by offering some design advice or showing the homeowner what might go wrong if the house is structurally changed in a certain way).
Home Building in Geelong: Trends and Innovations
In Geelong, the contemporary style of extension and renovation is one based around open spaces and light. Big open windows, minimal "stuff", and lots of multifunctional open space are very common; the better to live our modern lifestyles in. Additionally, many people are integrating this indoor space with outdoor space; we build an "outdoor room" that can be used as though it were an inside room—thus doubling the functional space in some areas of the house, and making everything look nicer and more spacious, whilst we are at it.
Environmentally friendly materials and technologies are another huge trend to think about here. "Green living" is turning out to be not just a couple of years getting by with some recycled products, some renewable energy, and some products made with the absolute minimum of anything non-organic—instead, it has turned into an entire cultural renaissance—and a more technologically advanced culture that is indistinguishable from the earlier culture in some ways.
Understanding House Extensions
A house extension can be an affordable way to enjoy where you live rather than having to move — particularly as single storey house extensions can create a new open plan layout, more rooms, or more living areas, and a double-storey extension almost doubles that living space. At the same time, a conservatory-style extension is a popular choice that links indoor and outdoor lifestyles, capturing and filtering cooler year-round light.
While a house extension generally falls into the budget category of ‘more for what you spend,’ a bespoke design will allow you to recoup that market value cost and more in terms of resale — just as long as you choose the right Geelong builders who know where you live. Maximize your property budget bottom line by choosing a construction company that has that all-important local knowledge and whose designer knows how to build a house extension that must ultimately project resale value.
The Role of Geelong Builders in Home Improvement
Home extensions and renovations offer Geelong locals the chance to transform the look and feel of their home. A much-loved family home could be hiding a chic, modern revamp behind its walls, or need an additional room to meet the demands of a growing family. Home extensions and renovation work give you the freedom to optimize all spaces within your home. You can create a home that feels perfect for you and your family, boosting your property's market price. You end up improving the quality of your day-to-day life and making an excellent investment in your future.
Incredibly complex, most home extensions, and renovations will require the help of one of Geelong's expert builders. First, you have to determine what is physically possible within your spaces, work on the overall design, make sure that the design is in compliance with local laws—not to mention, you must build well. Across the board, with most home renovation projects and home extensions, homeowners would do well to approach a local builder as soon as possible. Reach out to our team today & lets get extending!
