At Addbuild, we take pride in being the leading specialists in major renovations based in Sydney’s Inner West.
With over 40 years of experience constructing Inner West home extensions and additions, and a strong connection to the area – Addbuild’s office is based in Rhodes – we understand the unique character of the homes here and what it takes to renovate them properly.
Whether it’s a heritage terrace, a freestanding Federation house, semi-detached or a more modern dwelling, we apply our local knowledge, design expertise, attention to detail, budget control, quality construction and a personalised approach to every project.
When it comes to renovating homes in Sydney’s Inner West, we don’t think any other company can offer the same level of experience, craftsmanship and customer care as Addbuild.
We Know the Inner West Inside Out
Renovating in Sydney’s Inner West isn’t like renovating anywhere else in the city. Many of the homes are older, the blocks are tighter, and local council requirements can be complex.
We know how to manage tricky access, heritage overlays, the individual needs of a semi-detached home, and all the little quirks that make Inner West projects different.
In just the past few years, we’ve expanded homes in Ashbury, Ashfield, Camperdown, Canterbury, Concord, Concord West, Croydon, Croydon Park, Drummoyne, Dulwich Hill, Earlwood, Five Dock, Forest Lodge, Haberfield, Hurlstone Park, Leichhardt, Lilyfield, Marrickville, North Strathfield, Rozelle, Strathfield South and Sydenham.
That means we’ve worked extensively in all the Local Government Areas in the region: Burwood Council, City of Canada Bay Council, City of Canterbury-Bankstown, Inner West Council and Strathfield Council.
We therefore have a clear understanding of each LGA: how to design plans for – and, most importantly, get Development Applications through – each Local Council. We can also advise you on how to design plans that can proceed as a Complying Development.
More than that, we understand how to design and build renovations that respect the character of the homes in the area, while improving functionality and value for the families we work with.
Our 'Concept to Completion' Service
Unlike many other builders, we start with an initial no-obligation, no-fee consultation.
As well as designing and constructing your renovation, Addbuild can also handle the Development Application on your behalf.
This means we can manage your renovation from start to finish – from concept to completion. You don’t have to juggle designers, draftspeople and builders – we keep the entire process under one roof.
This not only saves time and reduces stress, it ensures the final result matches your vision and is delivered to the highest standard.
The plans we design are ready to build from, so you save the cost and time of turning architect plans into construction plans.
And having worked in recent years in so many Inner West suburbs, that deep local knowledge and experience benefits every part of the renovation process.
A Proven Track Record of Reliability
Through the ups and downs of the recent years in the building industry, Addbuild has continued to operate strongly while others struggled.
We might not be the biggest, nor the smallest, but we think we are perfectly sized to be able to offer a personal service while also withstanding and understanding the variables that have caused stress for other builders.
40 years working in Sydney means we have very strong relationships with material suppliers, and we have ‘seen it all’ and are therefore able to anticipate and mitigate price fluctuations.
That’s why we can continue to offer fixed-price contracts, whilst other builders are starting to use ‘costs plus’ contracts that offer homeowners far less certainty over the final price.
Our clients regularly tell us they appreciate our professionalism, transparency, and the quality of our workmanship.
We take the time to understand your goals, then deliver a finished home you’ll be proud of, on time and within budget.
Extensions and Second Storeys That Add Value
We don’t just expand homes, we improve the way people live.
Whether you need more space, better flow, or a more modern layout, we create solutions that add real value to your lifestyle.
We’re experienced in adding second storeys, reconfiguring internal spaces, and designing ground-floor extensions that feel like they’ve always belonged.
And we always keep resale value in mind, helping you get the most from your investment.
Quality You Can Rely On
We’re fully licensed builders and proud members of the Housing Industry Association (HIA).
Our team includes qualified tradespeople who share our commitment to quality, and we use reliable materials that stand the test of time.
Every detail matters to us – from the foundations to the finishes – because we want your renovation to last for years to come.

Personal Service, Every Step of the Way
We’re a family-run business, and we treat every client like part of the team.
From your first consultation through to the final handover, we’re there to guide you, answer your questions, and make sure you feel confident at every stage of the project. No surprises, no shortcuts, just clear communication and honest advice.
