Home Extensions in Paddington
Home Extensions done properly
ORT Construction Group works with Paddington 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 Paddington 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 Paddington
What we check first
Tight lots and shared walls make access, boundary setbacks and neighbour protection the first things we plan.
Homes in the area
Homes across Sydney CBD and Inner City include terraces, semis and older walk-up units on tight lots with shared walls and limited site access. We look at the existing structure, site access and levels in Paddington 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 Paddington property during the site visit.
Questions
Home Extensions in Paddington, answered
How long does a home extension take?
It depends on size and structure. A modest ground floor extension is typically a matter of months on site; we give an indicative program with the quote and update it as the build progresses.
What does an extension quote include?
A written scope for the Paddington 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 Paddington extension?
Often yes, depending on scope. Many Paddington 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 Paddington?
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.
