HOME EXTENSIONS THAT ADD SPACE AND VALUE – HOBART’S RELIABLE BUILDER

EXTEND YOUR HOME WITH CONFIDENCE AND CARE

Life changes, and sometimes your home needs to keep up. Whether your family has grown, you want a bigger living area, or you need a dedicated workspace, an extension can be the perfect solution. But managing an extension can feel overwhelming — from design and permits to coordinating trades and inspections.


At JH Eastwood Builders, we specialise in home extensions across Hobart that are built to last, designed to suit your lifestyle, and managed with care. We handle the whole process so you don’t have to worry about juggling contractors or council requirements.


Thinking about adding space? Call Josh on 0447 979 002 to discuss your extension today.

SINGLE-LEVEL EXTENSIONS

Single-level extensions are a popular way to increase space without changing your home’s footprint too drastically. Whether you want a larger kitchen, extra bedrooms, or a sunroom, we build practical, stylish additions that blend seamlessly with your existing home.


We manage everything, from site preparation and foundations through to finishes. Our aim is to create extensions that feel like a natural part of your home, with quality craftsmanship and attention to detail.

MULTI-STOREY EXTENSIONS 

  • Second Storey Extensions and Renovations


Adding a second storey is a great way to maximise space on smaller blocks and increase your home’s value. We build safe, compliant, and well-designed upper-floor extensions that give you the extra rooms or living areas you need.


From structural steelwork and framing to stairs and roofing, we handle the complex parts so you don’t have to worry. We’ll ensure the new storey integrates perfectly with your existing home’s style and layout.

ALL TRADES ORGANISED

  • Steelworkers and Scaffolders Available
  • If Demolition is Required, We Manage It All
  • Surveyors to Assist With Boundaries and Permits


Extensions often require specialist trades and additional services. 


We coordinate everything, including:


  • Steelworkers for structural support
  • Scaffolders for safe access and work
  • Demolition teams, when removing old structures
  • Surveyors to verify boundaries and prepare permits


You only need to make one call — to us. We manage the rest.

COMPREHENSIVE SERVICE

  • End-to-End Project Management
  • Dealing With Councils for Permits – Get the Whole Bundle Ready


We’ll Make Sure Your Extension Goes Ahead Without Hassles. From initial design and council applications to final inspections, we manage the entire extension process for you.


We handle:


  • Preparing and submitting all council permits (Building Approvals and Planning Approvals)
  • Liaising with local authorities to ensure compliance
  • Scheduling and managing trades and inspections
  • Keeping your project on time and budget


Our goal is to make your extension project as smooth and stress-free as possible.
