First floor additions in Curl Curl
What is not to love about living in Curl Curl? Just 18 km north of Sydney’s CBD you get to enjoy one of Sydney’s best surfing beaches. Its relatively large percentage of stand-alone houses makes it a peaceful and family friendly area.
Living here, you really want to enjoy the often breathtaking views of the beach. You may also want to add another level to your home to create additional space for your family.
With first floor additions in Curl Curl, you want to be certain you stay in line with Northern Beaches Council regulations.
If you have reservations about home renovations, it’s most likely due to a bad experience in the past. Large scale home renovations require a high degree of expertise and local experience.
This is why we recommend engaging a local design and build company such as Add-Style.
Creating a design tailored to your lifestyle needs and budget
Let us know your budget and we will work with it and create a customised design tailored to your family’s needs without sacrificing your vision.
We believe in the importance of working with you to design spaces that provide a valuable return on investment. We use an innovative design software program called ArchiCAD to present you with computer-generated images. This will help you visualise the design in its completed form and realise concepts and ideas in an instant.
Most importantly, any renovation must put you and your family first. This is your home and we want you to be thrilled with your renovated home for many years to come!
Hence we do a lot of listening during our initial meetings to learn what exactly you require. What is your intended lifestyle? Do you have any special needs right now or in future? Without knowing these questions, no design is possible.
Avoid surprise charges
We are a design and construct company that guarantees our fixed price contracts. There won’t be any additional costs and surprise work at any point during construction.
No conflict between architect, builder, and subcontractors
There’s no conflict between architect, owner, builder, and subcontractors when things go wrong because we are one team. It is our responsibility to ensure the job gets done on time and without any drama and delays that usually happens when you hire a separate designer and builder.
A design and construct company with a unified workflow
As a design-build company, we bring together all elements of your project under one contract and one unified workflow, ensuring a seamless delivery from initial concept through to completion.
Our team takes care of all details on your behalf – applying for CDCs or DAs for building and renovating in the Northern Beaches, obtaining structural certifications, advising on materials and fittings, site preparation and rubbish removal, organisation of trades, and final handover.
We lodge around 25 CDCs and 5 DAs every year, which means we have an intimate understanding of the guidelines and requirements of the Northern Beaches Council and certifiers. We won’t waste your time creating a design that we know the council will not approve.
Experts In Staircase and Stairwell Design in Curl Curl
Correctly positioning the stairs to your new first floor addition is crucial.
You want your stairs to be convenient and a feature, but not get in the way of downstairs living.
We carefully plan the design and make sure your home can handle the additional weight of an upper level. Our architecture qualified designers work in conjunction with structural engineers to ensure the design of a structurally sound upstairs addition.
The best place to build a staircase is where it enhances the layout and look of the whole entry area. We will integrate it into your existing layout that one could never guess your home was originally a single-level house.
Timing is another essential element of a first floor addition. We do not want you to have to temporarily move out of your home any longer than absolutely necessary. Often we can help you avoid having to move out at all. This is where timing comes in.
Done right and with proper care, we can usually have our clients live in their homes throughout the entire renovation period.
