Our Second Storey Addition Process

1. Initial Consultation & Site Assessment Your project begins with a free consultation where Matt Keogh meets with you to discuss your vision, budget, and spatial needs. We assess your property to determine the best approach for your second storey addition and provide expert advice on what's achievable.

2. Design & Planning Our design team works with you to create a custom plan tailored to your home and lifestyle. We develop detailed plans that maximise space and functionality while complementing your existing home's character.

3. Quoting & Approvals We provide transparent, detailed quotes so you know exactly what to expect. Our extensive experience with Perth councils means we handle all necessary approvals and permits efficiently, keeping your project on track.

4. Construction This is where your vision comes to life. Depending on your project, we may use our innovative modular construction method to reduce on-site time, or traditional building techniques. Throughout construction, we keep you informed and work to minimise disruption to your daily life.

5. Completion & Handover We complete final inspections and walk you through your new space, ensuring every detail meets our high standards and your expectations.

Why Our Process Delivers Results

When you choose Nexus for your second storey addition, our proven process delivers benefits that last:

Adding a second storey to your home can increase the value of your property significantly, making it a clever and long-lasting investment.
It’s an incredibly simple way to ease the pressures of a growing family without relocation.
It’s perfectly possible to increase the space in your home and seamlessly enhance the appearance without creeping beyond your financial limits. Second storey additions are a flexible solution for families looking to build up without having to pay up.

How Modular Construction Enhances Our Process

At Nexus, we've incorporated modular construction into our second storey addition process to deliver faster results with less disruption to your home life.

Here's how it works: major components of your second storey addition are precision-built off-site in a controlled environment. Once ready, these modules are transported to your property and installed—often in just days. This approach is central to how we complete projects efficiently while maintaining exceptional quality.

This benefits you in the following ways:

Reduced on-site duration and costs by up to 30% - Less time means lower labour costs and faster access to your new space.
Minimal disruption - With most construction happening off-site, your daily routine is far less affected.
Faster completion - Projects that traditionally take months can be completed in weeks.
Consistent quality - Building in a controlled factory environment ensures precision and superior finishes.
Weather-independent - Rain or shine, your project stays on schedule.

Our modular approach is why projects like the Mount Lawley addition were completed in just 3 months. It's how we deliver second storey additions that work around your life, not the other way around.

Our Process in Action: Mount Lawley Character Home

Take a look at one of our Mount Lawley second storey additions to see how we blended modern design with a traditional character home.

We designed and built a complete upper floor featuring a spacious master bedroom with high raked ceilings and smart storage solutions, a generous walk-in robe, and a luxurious master ensuite with contemporary finishes. The renovation was completed in just 3 months on site thanks to our modular construction process, including ground floor works.
