back to estimates list. A ground level house extension in Australia costs around $1,400-1,500 per square metre. When house prices are high, as they are in many parts of Australia at the moment, adding a room or extending your living area on the ground floor can be a more affordable way to create space than moving.
The cost of extending a home depends on what the addition consists of. The website CostHelper.com gives an average figure of $13,000 to $125,000, but the cost can vary wildly depending on a range of factors.
