About us

Designing & Building Custom Home Additions and Extensions for over 60 Years

As a fully integrated Design & Construct company, we manage every stage of your project under one roof – from initial design concepts and planning approvals through to construction and handover. With one experienced team guiding your project from start to finish, you’ll enjoy a smoother, more efficient building journey with a single point of accountability.
Whether you’re renovating a Federation home, creating an open-plan family living space, designing a multi-generational home, rebuilding on your existing block or unlocking the development potential of your property, our experienced designers and builders will create a solution tailored to your family’s lifestyle and your budget.

We proudly design and build throughout Sydney, from the Northern Beaches and North Shore to the Eastern Suburbs and Greater Western Sydney, delivering homes that combine timeless design with exceptional quality.
Having successfully completed more than 8,000 home additions across Sydney, we’ve built a reputation for thoughtful design, exceptional workmanship and an outstanding client experience. Today, that same expertise extends beyond first floor additions to include custom home extensions, knock down rebuilds and dual occupancy developments.

What We Do

First Floor / Second Storey Additions

Our core specialty. Rather than moving house, add a whole new level to your existing home — extra bedrooms, a second bathroom, a parents' retreat or a dedicated study — without sacrificing your backyard or your postcode. With over 8,000 second storey additions completed across Sydney, we know how to design upward extensions that feel like they were always part of the original home, not an afterthought bolted on top.

Custom Home Extensions

Open up your ground floor to the way your family actually lives — a bigger kitchen, an open-plan living and dining space, or a seamless indoor-outdoor connection to the backyard. Every extension is custom designed around your existing home's style, whether it's a Federation cottage, a Californian bungalow or a contemporary build, so the new space blends in rather than standing out.

Knock Down Rebuilds & Dual Occupancy

Sometimes the smartest move isn't extending — it's starting fresh. If your existing structure can't support the addition you want, or your block has development potential, we'll design and build a brand new home from the ground up, or explore a dual occupancy solution to unlock your property's full potential. Same team, same one-stop-shop process, from concept to keys.

We are the residents next door to where you have recently completed renovations. I just want to thank you for your kind letter and subscription gift.

The renovations next door were really very little trouble to us at all. Please thank your team for being considerate during construction. I really appreciate your letter. It represents an unusual degree of consideration and care.

Alicia & Julian​

Having Cape Cod manage the design, approvals and construction made the whole process incredibly smooth. Our Design Consultant, Charles created designs that were practical, economical and aligned with our style, while our Construction Supervisor, Aaron kept everything running efficiently on site. We’re thrilled with the result. We have more space, more light and a seamless blend of old and new.
