How House Extension Quote Matching Works

Contact House Extensions Adelaide about house extensions in Adelaide.

Step 1: send your details

Use the quote form to give your name, phone number, suburb and a description of what you want to add. Say whether you have plans, whether the house is old and whether you are thinking of one storey or two. A clear brief makes it easier for a builder to decide whether to reply.

Each one decides whether to respond. They set their own prices and they are responsible for their own work, licences and insurance. We cannot promise that someone will be available for your project.

Step 3: you compare and decide

You choose who to talk to and you owe us nothing. Use our checklist to compare licence numbers, written scopes, exclusions, payment stages and insurance certificates.

Questions worth asking every builder

Our checklist on the cost guide page lists eight questions. They cover the licence details, approvals, indemnity insurance, what the quote leaves out, soil and footings, payments, the join to your existing house and asbestos.

Before you send the request

Collect what you already have: a sketch, a plan, a list of rooms you want to add or a few photographs of the side and rear of the house. Note whether the house is old, whether you are thinking of one storey or two and whether you plan to stay on the block for years. Builders can only guess at an Adelaide extension without these basics, so the more you share, the better the replies are likely to be.

After you send it

You might hear back by phone, so keep your phone nearby. A builder may ask about the block, the soil, any trees close to the house and who has drawn the plans before it offers a visit. Some will not reply, which is their decision. Write down what each says, and ask for the quote in writing.

Reading replies side by side

Compare each quote against our checklist: licence details and supervisor, approval, indemnity insurance, exclusions, soil and footings, payment stages, the join to the existing house and asbestos. Ask each builder to fill any gaps, then compare totals. A lower price that leaves out design, engineering or demolition may cost more in the end.
