RAISE AND BUILD UNDER IN BRISBANE
Unique to the area of Brisbane are plenty of beautiful Queenslander and Post-War homes full of classic charm and heritage design features. But oftentimes, these types of homes can be difficult to renovate, due to factors such as their size proportionate to the block of land, outdated design, and local government regulations. While homeowners may be looking to expand or extend their home, this may mean encroaching on precious backyard space. This is where a Raise and Build Under comes in. Simply put, a Raise and Build Under allows us to elevate the lower storey of the home and build under, creating a brand new ground floor area. This is the perfect method of house renovation to create more space without losing the structural charms of your existing home – or the size of your backyard.

FAQs
How Much Does A Home Renovation Cost?
It would be near impossible to provide a universal value for which to apply to any home renovation, as every project would be different. The costs will be effected by items such as the type of the renovation, the extent of any alteration to the existing structure, and accessibility of the area being renovated. Not to mention the level of finishes and specifications of the proposed renovation. As a general rule of thumb, it is always more expensive to work with existing as opposed to working with
new.
For these reasons it pays to be cautious when adopting any square metre rate on a possible extension, and only use the rate as a very rough guide.
How Do I Plan A Home Renovation?
The first step is to determine your budget. This is essential as it will ultimately dictate what you can and can’t do. Start by creating a needs vs wants list to work out what’s essential and what you’re willing to compromise on.
Part of establishing your budget is researching as much as possible. Do some research into the kind of project you’re considering, the different outcomes that are possible within your budget and explore similar builds that inspire you. It can be helpful to put together a Pinterest board or physical collage with images of façades, features, styles and finishes that you would like to replicate.
Once you’ve established your budget and garnered an understanding of what you’re looking to achieve, it’s time to enlist some experts. At a minimum, you will require the services of a builder, architect or draftsman, engineer and private certifier.
The best place to start would be with the builder that specialises in the type of build you are trying to achieve. The builder should be able to draw from their network to recommend the most appropriate architect, engineers and other consultants. What the home owner is seeking are consultants that are pragmatic and work in their best interests. It would be highly unlikely that a builder would recommend any consultant that they have worked with, that hasn’t been pragmatic.
Also by engaging the builder pre-construction it helps to ensure the design develops in sync with the home owners budget.
Are Home Renovations Tax Deductible?
In general any renovation undertaken on your own home (principal place of residence) is not tax deductible, however the home would be Capital Gains Tax exempt. There are some small exceptions to this rule which may relate to works to a home office for anyone working from home. However, any tax deduction claimed for these works will have an effect on the capital gains exemption.
Disclaimer the response is general in advice and would advise seeking guidance from a professional for your personal circumstances
How Much to Raise and Build Under In Brisbane?
This will depend on the extent of works required in the house raise and build under. Whether there is an extensive excavation, requirement for retaining walls, the volume of structural steel which will be dictated by spans, and loads. What’s the size and extent of the concrete slab on ground and its footing requirements. Separate to this is the cost of the physical house raise itself and whether the house is a small timber structure or a major Grand Queenslander that needs to be raised and slide
into position.
Does Kitchen Renovation Increase Home Value?
Where you spend your money during a renovation can also influence the end value. There are items that are perceived to add great value and others that, although necessary, don’t translate to adding worth.
The likes of a $30,000 kitchen can easily be correlated with an increase in value. However $30,000 spent on necessary retaining walls doesn’t necessarily translate to adding the same value. It would be fair to say that a cleverly designed and highly functional kitchen should always add value to any home.
