Home extensions in Constantia
Constantia stands often have room for a wing that a southern suburbs cottage does not. Trees, slopes and estates still decide where it can go.

The usual request is a bedroom wing or a flatlet that does not face the neighbour. Servitudes and large trees remove some of the ‘empty’ lawn from use. Older roofs may not be square, so a new wing has to be set out carefully. Delivery is down a long drive, sometimes past a gatehouse.
A flatlet that someone will live in can count as a second dwelling. Ask about zoning before you pour a slab. This site will not tell you the zoning of your erf.
Sending the enquiry
Sending the form on this page is free. It uses the same enquiry path as the rest of Cape Town Construction. A provider on the Lekker Network who covers this area and this kind of work may contact you. The price and the contract, if you hire someone, are between you and that provider. This site does not promise how quickly anyone replies.
What to put in the first message
Say wing or flatlet, and whether someone will live in the new rooms. Trees, a servitude, or a long drive should be in the first message so the footprint is not drawn on the wrong lawn.
Questions
Is a flatlet allowed?
Sometimes, under the zoning and any estate rule. Confirm both. Do not start from a blog post.
Will an extension need an engineer?
If it is a large opening or a new suspended floor, expect yes. The provider should say so before you sign.
How is this different from a renovation?
A renovation changes existing rooms. An extension adds floor area. Use the renovation page if you are not adding area.
