Looking to extend your Armadale home? Whether you're running out of space, seeking better functionality, or simply wanting to enhance your property’s value, XL Built is your trusted partner for quality home extensions in Armadale—including expertly designed single storey and second storey extensions tailored to your lifestyle.
Armadale is one of Melbourne’s most desirable inner-city suburbs, known for its leafy streets, heritage charm, boutique shopping strips, and easy access to elite schools and public transport. Homeowners here appreciate the balance of character-filled architecture and contemporary living, making it a top choice for families, professionals, and downsizers alike.
Originally developed in the late 19th century, Armadale boasts a stunning mix of Victorian and Edwardian homes, many of which require thoughtful, well-planned extensions to meet modern needs—without compromising on historical charm.
For many homeowners, that means extending their home, rather than relocating, to meet the needs of modern living while retaining Armadale’s unique architectural appeal.
The demand for home extensions in Armadale is growing year-on-year. Families are choosing to stay in the area for its:
Proximity to top schools
such as Armadale Grammar and Firbank Grammar
Coastal lifestyle
paired with inner-suburb convenience
Strong property values
making extensions a smart long-term investment
Heritage and charm
which many owners prefer to enhance rather than replace
Whether it's a growing family needing more space or a couple seeking a more functional layout for entertaining, extending offers a practical alternative to moving — without leaving behind everything they love about the area.
Common building challenges in Armadale
While Armadale offers incredible lifestyle benefits, building or extending here can be complex due to:
Heritage overlays
Narrow or sloping blocks
Coastal environment
Strict Council regulations
At XL Built, we guide you through every step with transparency and expertise — from concept to completion. Our team has extensive experience navigating the local council guidelines and designing thoughtful extensions that respect the character of Armadale homes while enhancing livability.

Add bedrooms, a parent’s retreat, or a home office
Create zoned living spaces for growing or multi-generational families
Increase the overall value of your property
Preserve your backyard and outdoor living areas

Second Storey Extension
XL Built exceeded our expectations with an on-time and on-budget renovation of our 100-year-old single fronted terrace house in Richmond.

Andrew R
Ground floor extension
We had a fantastic experience renovating and extending our house in Hawthorn with XL Built. Luke and his team were responsive, efficient and always going above and beyond to make sure we were happy. The quality of both the new extension and the works to the original 120 year old cottage is excellent.
We couldn't be happier with the result and recommend XL Built.
Margaret G
Single Storey extension
XL Built were impressive from our first interaction through to the last. Unlike others, Luke spent the time to understand our council’s construction requirements and planning permit requirements even before we met so we could get a good idea of total build duration. He also came prepared with some great suggestions in order to maximise opportunity within budget.
Would highly recommend XL Built!!
Stacey S
Second Storey extension
Our experience with the XL Built team was outstanding. Their professionalism and quality was well above all expectations. I went into the renovation process with a lot of skepticism after hearing of many horror stories. XL Built have well and truly changed my mind and I would recommend and reuse the team for any future work.
Thanks to Luke and his Trades for creating beautiful spaces for our family.
Michael C
Extension and renovation
Luke and his team picked up the plans done by a draftsman to execute our renovation vision with patience, care and attention to detail.
We couldn't be happier with the result. Great oversight from Luke, professional trades who took real pride in their work (special callout to the tiler) and an amazing product at the end.
Would definitely recommend XL Built for anybody considering a renovation or extension.
Richard S
Extension and renovation
We went through an intense process looking for a home extension builder and went with XL Built due to their sheer professionalism and we weren’t let down.
As we had undertaken a previous renovation not long before, XL Built was able to preserve and reuse most of our old items…Never overpromised, were super patient as we kept changing things around and in fact finished before schedule and left everything very clean.
Highly recommend them as they have given us a beautiful home.
Parvana Wali
Extension and renovation
We've been back home for a month now, and I just love our 'new' home. We all have some much needed space, not to mention the extra storage!
From start to finish, we were updated at every stage, and we appreciated all the hard work of the XL Built team. The new bathrooms are gorgeous, and the second storey is brilliant.
Thank you again to Luke and the team for taking our ideas, and turning them into an affordable reality.
