Extending beneath an existing home
We built this home several years ago with the structure planned to allow for a future level underneath. We recently returned to complete that stage, creating new space below the existing house.
The work began with extensive earthworks beneath the elevated home. Restricted access and working space meant we had to carefully plan machinery, spoil removal, and trade access. We coordinated engineering, retaining walls and structural support as the excavation progressed, alongside redesigning the onsite sewage system.
We cut a new opening through the existing floor and installed a stairwell to connect the original home with the new downstairs area. The project also included a new swimming pool, with construction sequencing planned around the house, excavation and site services.
