Looking for home extensions in Marrickville? METCON is a licensed Sydney builder delivering home extensions across Marrickville and the wider Inner West. A well-designed home extension adds space, light and value without the cost and upheaval of moving. Whether it is a ground-floor addition, a rear extension or opening up the way a home lives, the result should feel like it was always part of the house, not bolted on.
Marrickville has become one of the Inner West's most sought-after areas, with owners investing heavily in extending and upgrading older homes. Its mix of period cottages, semis and freestanding houses offers strong potential for well-designed extensions, provided the existing structure is properly assessed and the new work is integrated correctly.
Extensions are deceptively complex. They involve tying new structure into an existing building, matching levels and finishes, coordinating services, managing approvals and often dealing with whatever the original home reveals once work begins. That is where experience matters, an extension is part new build, part renovation, and both halves have to work together.
Good extension work starts well before construction. It means understanding the existing structure, getting the design and approvals right, and planning how new footings, framing and services integrate with the old. On older homes, that can include addressing existing structural issues so the new work sits on a sound base.
We manage extensions end to end, design coordination, council approvals, structural engineering, the build itself and a clean handover with documentation. One contract, one point of responsibility, and a finished result that adds genuine long-term value rather than future problems.
Approval rules depend on Inner West Council's controls and your site. We check them for your address and handle any application.

Real reviews from homeowners, strata and builders.
I called three builders and METCON were the only ones who actually came to look at the site before quoting. Honest pricing, no surprises.
They handled the DA, the engineer, and the build. We didn't have to chase council once. Massive wall, done in under two weeks.
We got three quotes. METCON was not the cheapest but was clearly the most thorough. Worth every dollar.
Straight answers from the builder. Anything else, just call.
Extension cost depends on size, complexity, finishes, site access and how the new work integrates with the existing home. In Marrickville, the age and character of the property can also affect scope. We provide a free consultation and a clear, line-item written quote so you know what you are paying for.
Most extensions require approval, either a Complying Development Certificate or a Development Application, depending on the scope and local planning controls. We assess which pathway applies to your Marrickville property and manage the approval process for you.
Often yes for rear and ground-floor extensions, though there will be disruption. Larger structural work may require temporary relocation for safety. We assess this as part of the quote and plan the build to minimise impact on your Marrickville household where possible.
