Will Refresh take care of any required council approval?

Yes! We take care of all your council requirements, whether through a Development Application with your local council or a Complying Development System. The Refresh Process is designed to provide timely and accurate advice regarding council requirements for your specific project; along with all necessary searches and professional assessments (such as surveying, engineering, geotechnical, fire consultancy); construction plans and drawings, as well as pre-lodgement meetings with your council representatives in order to ensure the approval process is as stress-free as possible for you.

What is the home extension process when working with Refresh Gold Coast builders?

Refresh offers a full design and build service as part of their complete project management experience. We take care of everything, from start to finish, including:
- Initial concept designs and research regarding what can and cannot be achieved
- Initial estimated costs that help you decide whether your project is affordable
- All approval requirements; from working designs to construction certificates ready for build
- Construction services including full project management to ensure on-time and on-budget completion
- All trades, consisting of local and experienced workers who produce the high-quality work we have come to expect. Our philosophy when it comes to the standard of work is simple: “Would we accept this in our own home?”
- All inclusions, ensuring there’s nothing you will need to do or buy when we’re done. Just move in and enjoy the new space

What are some current trends in the Gold Coast when it comes to home extensions?
Extensions are in extreme demand as most Gold Coast residents prefer to expand their home rather than move from an area they’re in love with.
Lucky enough to bathe in sunshine for over 300 days a year, some of the most popular extensions in the Gold Coast include creating indoor-outdoor flow and installing a deck. Those living in flats can achieve similar results by extending their balcony.
If you live in Palm Beach or Paradise Point, your 80s/90s home is due for an update! We can knock out those unneeded non-supporting walls to create an open-plan space for you.
Homeowners of older Queenslander style homes often choose to lift their property and build under it, improving their views and ventilation while creating additional floor space.
