About This Service

Home Extensions That Add Real Value in Pretoria

Whether you need an extra bedroom for a growing family, a dedicated home office, a double garage, a granny flat, or a larger open-plan living area — a building extension gives you exactly the space you need without the cost and stress of selling and moving.

Plexirenovations handles the full process: from the initial design and municipal plan submission to the structural work, tie-ins to existing services, and final finishes that match your existing home. You deal with one team, start to finish.

Popular Extension Types in Pretoria

Some of the most common extensions we build include additional bedrooms and en-suite bathrooms, double-storey additions, covered braai areas and entertainment rooms, granny flat or flatlet additions for rental income, home office or study additions, and garages with habitable loft spaces above.

Extensions in sectional title complexes or estate homes require HOA approval in addition to municipal building plans. We manage this process and advise you on compliance requirements before quoting.

Our Process

How Your Extension Gets Built

01

Site Visit & Feasibility Assessment

We visit your property, measure up, assess the existing structure, check servitude lines, and discuss what's possible given your stand, your council zone, and your budget. We give you honest feedback on what will and won't work before any money changes hands.

02

Design & Plan Approval

Our draughtsperson produces working drawings. We submit to City of Tshwane and, where required, your HOA. Plan approval can take 6–12 weeks depending on workload at the council — we submit promptly and follow up on your behalf.

03

Detailed Quotation & Sign-Off

You receive a full itemised quote. We walk through it with you, answer your questions, and once you're satisfied, you sign the contract and confirm the start date. We agree a payment schedule linked to construction milestones.

04

Construction & Communication

Your extension is built to plan. The foreman manages all trades and quality on site. You receive regular progress updates and we flag any on-site decisions that need your input promptly — never after the fact.

05

Handover & Snag-Free Completion

We do a final walkthrough with you. Any snags are addressed before we sign off. You receive your updated occupancy certificate and all compliance documents for the work done.

Common Questions

Extensions FAQs

Yes. Any structural addition to your home requires approved building plans from the City of Tshwane. Building without approved plans is illegal and creates significant problems when you try to sell the property. Plexirenovations handles the full plan submission process as part of our service — we don't encourage or undertake unpermitted work.
In most cases, yes. We plan the build sequence to minimise disruption to your daily life, especially when working on additions rather than alterations to existing occupied spaces. When structural tie-ins or roof work means disruption is unavoidable, we discuss the timing with you in advance and try to complete those phases as quickly as possible.
We take care to match materials, brick types, roof pitches, plaster profiles, and paint colours where possible. Achieving a perfect match on older homes can be challenging — for example, matching bricks that are no longer manufactured — but we're experienced at integrating new work sympathetically and will discuss options with you during the design phase.
Extension costs vary widely depending on size, complexity, and finishes. A rough guide for a standard single-storey extension in Pretoria is R8,000–R14,000 per square metre for the building work itself, excluding professional fees, plan approval, and high-end finishes. Contact us for a proper quotation based on your specific project — we don't give guesswork numbers.

TESTIMONIALS

Resent client feedback

I contracted Plexirenovations and Construction to transform an open patio into a sun room and braai area. Being active in the construction industry all my working career I understood the complexities of enclosing the patio area and replacing and waterproofing the split level roof. The project was undertaken with absolute professionalism and attention to detail. I was kept up to date with the schedule as well as the inevitable problems that arose and their speedy resolution. Highly recommended and can be trusted to deliver a high quality product within all the contractual conditions. Photos show before and after.

The overall building project processes was handled with excellent businesses, acumen. We were professionally informed by the builder concerning what products to use in the different areas of our building needs. This made the choices we took much easier for us. The demolition work was done with care and neatly cleaned afterwards. The brick and mortar, plumbing, tiling, electrical , carpentry and painting work was also excellently done. The builder kept to the timeliness and afterwards left the building site as neat as he has found it. The builder also did not hesitate to after a few months contact us to found out if everything is in order. We did have a request for an adjustment and once again it was immediately addressed by Plexirenovations. My wife and myself highly recommend the services of Plexirenovations.

Ben and team undertook a major renovation of my entire home. They were able to achieve a phenomenal turnaround time of 4 months. The project was managed well, with clear and open communication, and they’ve been readily available for any concerns we may have had from the beginning. Well done to the team and special mention to Phillip for being ever so helpful 🙏

Cannot thank Ben, Phillip and the rest of the team enough. They went above and beyond to assist us and to make sure we were happy with the end results of the renovations to our home. Amazing work ethic and service delivery and the whole team is just genuinely kind.
