Cottage extensions Yarraville actually has room for.
Rear extensions and first-floor additions on Yarraville's narrow-frontage worker's cottages — internal steel, clever setout and a construction sequence built around the block, not the drawings.

Yarraville extensions
5 metres wide, deep as a train carriage.
The classic Yarraville worker's cottage runs 5 to 7 metres of frontage on a long, thin block, with little to no side setback. That geometry rules out external framing as a strategy and pushes structural extensions inward — internal steel portals, load transfers through the original walls, and stairs threaded into space that doesn't really exist yet.
RenoWorx sets out Yarraville extensions from the structural constraint first. The plan that gets drawn is the plan that can actually be built inside your title boundary, without a fight with the neighbours or a redesign after RFI.

Client stories
Trusted by Melbourne homeowners.
"The level of detail and the quality of the trades was clearly a step above. Our extension feels like it was always part of the original house."
Michael
Yarraville
"From the first meeting through to handover, RenoWorx made what we expected to be a stressful renovation feel completely manageable. The finish is exceptional — every detail considered, every trade-person professional. We could not recommend them more highly."
"We interviewed four builders. RenoWorx were the only ones who actually listened. The kitchen is everything we hoped for."
