Home Extensions in Chifley
Home Extensions done properly
ORT Construction Group works with Chifley homeowners on extensions that add real living space: opening up the rear of the house, adding a bedroom or bathroom, extending a kitchen, or creating a covered indoor outdoor area that gets used year round.
Extension work in Chifley usually starts before construction does. We look at what the existing structure can carry, what needs engineering, and where services run, then price the build against a scope you can actually compare.
Process
How the process works
- 1
Site visit and brief
We walk the home with you, discuss what the extension needs to achieve, and look at the existing structure.
- 2
Scope and quote
You receive a written scope and price covering structural works, framing, fit out and coordination.
- 3
Documentation
We work alongside your designer, engineer and certifier, or point you to the approvals your project needs.
- 4
Construction
Demolition, structure, framing, lock up and fit out are delivered by one team on an agreed program.
- 5
Completion
We finish, clean down, walk the works with you and close out any items before handover.
Why ORT Construction Group
Working with a builder, not a middleman
One point of contact
You deal with the people running the build, not a sales team who hand the job over.
Tidy sites
Sites are cleaned down daily and access is agreed with you before work starts.
Carpentry in house
Structural and finishing carpentry is done by our own team, which keeps set out accurate and the program moving.

Local considerations
Planning home extensions in Chifley
What we check first
Sloping blocks change footing depths, step-downs and stormwater, so levels are surveyed before anything is priced.
Homes in the area
Homes across Eastern Suburbs include Federation and interwar homes, terraces and semis, often on sloping or tight blocks close to neighbours. We look at the existing structure, site access and levels in Chifley before pricing, so the quote reflects the actual house.
Council approval
Some single-storey extensions can be approved as complying development through a certifier, while others need a development application. It depends on the lot, zoning and any heritage or bushfire controls. We confirm the approval pathway for your Chifley property during the site visit.
Questions
Home Extensions in Chifley, answered
What does an extension quote include?
A written scope for the Chifley works, the structural and framing components, allowances where selections are not final, and clear exclusions so you can compare fairly.
Can we stay in the house during a Chifley extension?
Often yes, depending on scope. Many Chifley extensions are built while the family stays in the existing part of the home, with the work zone separated and access managed.
Is the carpentry done by your own team?
Yes. Framing, structural alterations and fit out carpentry are done in house, which keeps set out accurate and keeps the program moving.
Do you handle approvals for extensions in Chifley?
We work alongside your designer, engineer and certifier and can advise what your project needs. We coordinate the construction side so the documentation and the build line up.
Do you do extensions and the internal renovation together?
Yes. Many Chifley projects combine an extension with renovating the existing rooms so the finished home reads as one space rather than old and new.
