House Extension in Kuala Lumpur & Selangor

An extension is the one job where the approvals matter as much as the building work. Local authority requirements vary across the Klang Valley, and an unapproved extension causes problems long after the builders leave.

Cost Factors

What affects the cost of House Extension?

Understanding what drives price helps you compare quotes fairly and prepare useful details for assessment.

Extension area

Priced per square foot, so the footprint is the main driver.

Ground conditions and foundations

What is under the ground significantly affects the foundation cost.

Structural complexity

Spans, openings into the existing house and roof geometry all matter.

Specification

Finishes, glazing and roofing choices move the figure substantially.

Access for materials

A tight site with restricted access slows every delivery and every stage.

Our Process

How we carry out House Extension

01

Survey and feasibility

We survey the site and discuss what is realistically buildable in the space.

02

Approvals

We identify what approvals are needed so the submission can proceed before any building starts.

03

Structure

Foundations, structure and roof are built.

04

Weathertight

Roofing, waterproofing and rainwater discharge are completed.

05

Junction with the existing house

The connection to the existing building is formed and made good — this is where most extensions leak if rushed.

06

Finishes

Internal finishes complete the space.

FAQs

House Extension — Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers to the questions customers ask us most about this service.

Do I need approval for an extension?+

Almost certainly, and requirements vary between local authorities in the Klang Valley. This is not a step to skip: an unapproved extension can cause difficulty when you sell, when you insure, and if a neighbour complains. Check with your local authority early, because it affects the design as well as the timeline.

Why does the junction with the existing house matter so much?+

Because that is where two structures meet and move slightly differently, and where the roof of the new part has to be tied into the old. Most extension leaks and cracks that we are called to occur at that junction rather than in the new build itself. Getting the detailing right there is worth the time.

Can you give me a price over the phone?+

Not a meaningful one. Extension cost depends on ground conditions, structure, spans and access, none of which can be assessed remotely. The per-square-foot rate is a planning figure to help you sanity-check a budget; the real number comes after a survey.

How long does an extension take?+

Considerably longer than an internal renovation, and the approval stage often takes longer than owners expect before any building begins. We would rather set out a realistic programme at the start, including the approval period, than commit to a date that only works if nothing goes wrong.
