Raising Houses in Brisbane
House raising to give you space without sacrifice.
Did you know that majority of Brisbane homes built before 1947 can’t be demolished? While that means a knockdown rebuild isn’t possible, renovations still are. If your home was built prior to 1947, a ‘raise and build under’ could be the perfect solution for you.
House lifts, also known as ‘raise and build unders’, are a great way to add space to your home. If your home was built on stumps, this means we can lift your house up to create another level under your original home. House lifts give you more space while not taking away from your front or backyard, offering you the potential for a home office, playroom, or even extra rental income.

What is house raising?

Why should I consider house raising instead of a renovation, extension, or knockdown rebuild?
In Brisbane, majority of homes built before 1947 can’t be demolished. If you want to stay in your pre-1947 home but need more space, house raising is an excellent option. This allows you to create the space you need while retaining your home’s character.
Homes built after 1947 are also suitable for house raising, provided they were built on stumps. In many cases, house raising is a more budget-friendly option than a new build.
