Will lifting our Queenslander affect its structural integrity or charm?

Not at all — when done correctly. We specialise in preserving original character while reinforcing the structure, ensuring your home remains both beautiful and built to modern standards.

How high can we lift our home, and what can we build underneath?

This depends on your site, council regulations, and flood overlays. We’ll guide you through feasibility early, helping you make informed decisions that maximise both lifestyle and compliance.

Is lifting worth the investment compared to a ground-floor extension?

For many Queensland homes, yes — especially when land is limited or you want to retain outdoor space. Lifting creates significant new floor area and improves street presence while maintaining the original home’s charm.

How long will we be out of the house during the lift and build?

You will not be able to live onsite for the entirety of the build.

How do you ensure the new level feels architecturally cohesive with the original home?

We approach each lift-and-build project with a deep respect for the original design. By aligning materials, proportions, and architectural language, we create a seamless connection between old and new — ensuring the home feels elevated, not divided.
