			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wondering if it’s a good time to look into doing some improvements around the house? If you invest in <a title="Home Improvements" href="http://www.nextlevelhomes.com.au/home-improvements-and-diy-flourishing-in-perth-australia/">home improvements</a> for your property, you’re going to be investing in your net worth. Your home improvements will benefit you now, enabling you to get more enjoyment out of your home plus   the fact of enjoying its benefits once you choose to place your home on the market. It’s not always easy to take the plunge forward with major renovations but if you’re thinking seriously about it, now is a great time. Read on for info that can help you see why:</p>
<p><strong>Boost Your Home’s Value</strong><img style="float: right; margin: 10px;" title="Home Improvements" src="http://www.nextlevelhomes.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/home-improvements.jpg" alt="Home Improvements" width="300" height="200" /></p>
<p>If you want to sell your home down the road or want to take out a home equity loan in the future, your property could be worth considerably more than it cost you to have the improvements done. Why is now such a great time for people who live in Perth to consider improving their homes?</p>
<p>Home renovations can be quite expensive, as you probably already know especially if you are considering something major, such as having a <a title="Second Storey Additions" href="http://www.nextlevelhomes.com.au/improve-energy-ratings-for-second-storey-extensions-with-cladding/">second storey added to your house</a>. The solution? Why not get a financial loan? Borrowing money could be a great help, especially right now. Yes, you’re borrowing money only because it’s going to benefit you in multiple ways; it’s not necessarily a bad debt to take on.</p>
<p><strong>Low Interest Rates</strong></p>
<p>When loan interest rates are low, like they are at the time we are publishing this article, it can be very worthwhile to obtain a loan. When you factor a lower than usual interest rate and the potential to substantially increase the worth of your property, it can make a lot of sense to take the time and effort to make home improvements.</p>
<p><strong>Competition in the Building Industry</strong></p>
<p>If you are a Perth resident, you have the advantage of choosing from a wide array of professionals located throughout Western Australia. There are also Perth renovation companies which can help you with various home improvement ideas enabling you to get your money’s worth We at Next Level Extensions has a proven track record in the home improvements industry.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you have been <a title="Taking it to the Next Level  - Building A Perfect Perth Home" href="http://www.nextlevelhomes.com.au/?p=688">contemplating about a home renovation</a> for a while and are ready to get things in motion, here is some sound advice that will help you take things to the next level.<img style="float: right; margin: 10px;" title="Home Improvements Perth" src="http://www.nextlevelhomes.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/home-improvements-Perth.jpg" alt="Home Improvements Perth" width="300" height="194" /></p>
<p>The home improvement market in the Perth, Western Australia area is a thriving one. This is good for you and it means you have plenty of choices in terms of who to deal with. It is wise to look into at least a few options. Gaining perspective from several <a title="Perth Home Improvements" href="http://www.nextlevelhomes.com.au/home-improvements-and-diy-flourishing-in-perth-australia/">Perth home improvements</a> specialists will help you consider a few different scenarios, options, and prices. Of course we’d love for you to contact us but whether you choose to work with us or not, consider the following advice:</p>
<p><strong>Do Your Due Diligence</strong></p>
<p>Whether you have already established a budget for your renovation or not, it is important to get a good idea of the estimated costs from a few sources. Not only can this help you shop around for the best price but it can also mean that you are doing due diligence to make sure that you have a full understanding of the costs before you get started. Research can help you prepare for potential roadblocks, for permits, for costs, and for the approximate and appropriate timing for the project you have in mind. Research can help you decide whether you want a home extension, a renovation, or to build an additional building on your property.</p>
<p><strong>Read Local Home Extension Builder and Home Improvement Company Reviews</strong></p>
<p>We are proud of our reputation as a <a title="Perth Home Renovations" href="http://www.nextlevelhomes.com.au/">Perth home renovations</a> company. Reading some reviews of different companies can help you get an idea of what experience others have had with a particular company. Checking with the Better Business Bureau as well as looking online to check the reputation of the companies you are considering can help you reduce the likelihood of unwelcome surprises. Remember, pricing is not everything!</p>
<p><strong>Browse Before and After Photos</strong></p>
<p>Not only can photos give you an idea of a company’s quality standards and the level of expertise they have, but it can also give you inspiration for your own home renovation or home extension project. Look at portfolios of potential builders to get a good idea of what they are capable of and to get ideas for your own renovations project. At Next Level Homes, we have some videos on our website that you will find interesting and educational as well.</p>
<p><strong>Make an Appointment for a Consultation</strong></p>
<p>The best way to decide on how to proceed to the next level is to meet with a few builders. You will be able to ask questions, find out about potential roadblocks, and review the process so you will be prepared for the next step in the process. If you would like a no obligation consultation with us, we’d be happy to talk about the process, your options, our expertise, and help you determine whether or not Next Level Homes is the right company for you to work with.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If your home feels too small, there is no need to move. Why not push out those boundaries? You do not have to move house in order to have your dream home. More people than ever are choosing to improve the home they already have. You might be surprised at the possibilities for your existing space!</p>
<p>Improving your home will result in better value both from a financial perspective and from a quality of life standpoint, too.

Whether you need extra space because you are expanding your family, or you just feel like you would benefit from a larger space, there are lots of options.</p>
<p>Here are some of the popular <a title="Home Extension Perth" href="http://www.nextlevelhomes.com.au/planning-a-home-extension-in-perth-ensure-the-builder-is-insured/">home extension</a> options we have done in the Perth area:<img style="float: right; margin: 10px;" title="Home Extensions Perth" src="http://www.nextlevelhomes.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/home-extensions-Perth.jpg" alt="Home Extensions Perth" width="300" height="200" /></p>
<p><strong>Second Floor Home Extensions</strong></p>

<p>Talk to us about your vision for your home. If you do not know yet what you are looking for, we would be happy to show you some past projects. We can create a loft or could help you create a large second floor.</p>
<p><strong>Ground Floor Home Extensions</strong></p>
<p>Why not <a title="Pushing Out the Boundaries of your Home with Home Extensions" href="http://www.nextlevelhomes.com.au/?p=679">extend the boundaries of your house</a> by opening up and creating a new room (or rooms) off your kitchen, your dining room, your family room, etc.? You could, quite possibly, literally, move the walls so you will get more floor space.</p>
<p>At Next Level Extensions we can help you come up with a design that will be functional, aesthetically pleasing, and the entire process can happen swiftly, minimising disruption to your daily routine.</p>
<p><strong>Other Functional Home Additions</strong></p>
<p>Beyond adding to your home, either upwards or outwards, we can create extra space for you within your house and on the property, too. We can add a garage, a granny flat, or help you improve the existing space you have by moving or removing walls, finishing your basement, finishing your attic, adding windows, and so on.</p>
<p>Talk to us about your needs. Whether you want an additional bathroom, would like a larger live-in kitchen, or simply want to make positive changes around your home for an added functionality, or have a big vision or transformational plan in mind that you need help executing &#8211; we would appreciate the opportunity to help you turn your ideas into a reality.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As home renovations Perth specialists, we continuously get phone calls and emails asking us about more affordable Perth home addition options. People want to know what their options are and sometimes there are constraints that make their choice a complex one.</p>
<p>Do you want more space at home but think that a <a href="http://www.nextlevelhomes.com.au/planning-a-home-extension-in-perth-ensure-the-builder-is-insured/">home extension</a> might be too expensive for your situation? If you have got enough property for it, a granny flat can be an economical alternative.<img style="float: center; margin: 2px;" title="Granny Flats" src="http://www.nextlevelhomes.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/granny-flats1-300x115.jpg" alt="Granny Flats" width="624" height="297" /></p>
<p><strong>Benefits of Granny Flats</strong></p>
<p>When opting for granny flats instead of having a big home renovation, you will see that it is quite a bit easier to get the building permission sorted, arranging for utility hook-up isnot complicated (especially when you compare it to the cost of building a new house without access to utilities on the property already), and your day to day lifestyle wouldn’t have to suffer adjustments during the construction period such as you would if you arranged a home extension.</p>
<p>As <a href="http://www.nextlevelhomes.com.au/">home renovations Perth</a> specialists, we see how much families have to contend with during a major renovation. Adding second storey additions or main floor extensions creates enormous upheaval to your daily life while the work is being done. Of course, it can be well worth it.</p>
<p>With a granny flat, the work being done during construction has a minimal impact on your daily routine considering that the construction happens outside of your existing home, saving you a lot of noise, mess and disruptions.</p>
<p><strong>Granny Flats, A Versatile Home Extension Option</strong></p>
<p><a title="Perth Granny Flats - An Economical Approach to Home Extensions" href="http://www.nextlevelhomes.com.au/?p=649">Granny flats in Perth</a> can vary in size and can have many uses that amount to having extra living space.</p>
<p>Here are some of the popular reasons our customers often ask us for a quote:</p>
<ul>
<li>Granny flats can make for a great home office. Talk to your tax accountant because the construction could involve some tax breaks.</li>
<li>Do you have elderly parents or other relatives or grown children who could benefit from living with you? A granny flat provides you all benefit while giving everyone his or her own defined space.</li>
<li>Want a hobby area such as a workout room, or a crafts area? A granny flat can provide a plethora of possibilities.</li>
<li>Interested in having a pool house for guests and entertaining? This is a common reason for having a granny flat built.</li>
<li>That extra building on your property could also create a substantial boost in the value and curb appeal of your property!</li>
</ul>
<p>Whether you are building a granny flat for dear old grandma, or for some other purpose, we are happy to give you a quote. We can provide a quote on all of your options, including second storey and main floor extensions, as well. Next Level Extensions offers Perth home extensions, granny flats, and other home improvements and has an excellent track record for customer satisfaction.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are looking at your options for home additions, Perth residents can rely on Next Level Extensions for great advice. Whether you are weighing your options, wondering how much home extensions cost, whether you want ideas for an inspiration, or looking at <a title="Popular Perth Home Extensions" href="http://www.nextlevelhomes.com.au/?p=655">popular Perth home extensions</a>, you have come to the right place. Here are a few ideas for you to consider.<img style="float: right; margin: 10px;" title="House Extension Perth" src="http://www.nextlevelhomes.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/house-extension-perth-300x167.jpg" alt="House Extension Perth" width="300" height="167" /></p>
<p><strong>Main Floor Home Extension</strong></p>
<p>Perth main floor home extensions are popular. Adding additional space on to the main floor of your house can be an effective solution. You can add an additional room that can make a world of difference in your living conditions. Even one small room can make a dramatic difference to a home’s liveability. <a title="Home Additions" href="http://www.nextlevelhomes.com.au/">Home additions</a> can blend really well with the design of your existing building or could be an opportunity to add and then upgrade the entire look of your home’s exterior.</p>
<p><strong>Second Storey House Extensions</strong></p>
<p>A second floor can make a dramatic impact on your living situation and can make a dramatic impact on your home’s curb appeal and on its market value. Whether you are looking for a loft or a second floor the size of your first storey, we can help you out. Consider looking at some house plan, the before and after photos to get ideas of what can be done to improve your home.</p>
<p><strong>Granny Flats</strong></p>
<p>Granny flats are also a popular option for people who want more living space but do not want to change the existing building. This can be cost effective and can create additional but separate space. This is ideal for a number of reasons spanning a space for Granny and Gramps to hobby space, home office, income property, guest space, and so on.</p>
<p><strong>Other Home Improvements</strong></p>
<p>In some cases, you can meet the goal of acquiring additional living and/or convert existing space into more useful space, too. Adding a room above your garage, converting the garage into living space, finishing the space in your basement or your attic, and other ideas can help you accomplish this. Talk to Next Level Home Extensions in Perth. We have a multitude of experience and would be happy to talk to you about your situation, your existing space, your goals, and your budget.</p>
<p>If you are looking for ideas and want to see popular <a title="Perth Home Extensions" href="http://www.nextlevelhomes.com.au/planning-a-home-extension-in-perth-ensure-the-builder-is-insured/">Perth home extensions</a>, take a look through some of our recent Perth home extension projects.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you thinking about building a customised home? This is something that can be a great decision. Although the process will take longer when doing a custom home versus having something built that has already been designed, there are many potential benefits of a <a title="Custom Built Perth Homes from Next Level Extensions in Perth" href="http://www.nextlevelhomes.com.au/?p=613">custom built home</a>.<img style="float: right; margin: 10px;" title="Home Extensions Perth" src="http://www.nextlevelhomes.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/home-extensions-perth-1-300x195.jpg" alt="Home Extensions Perth" width="300" height="195" /></p>
<p>The number one benefit is that you will get a home that is designed to your specific requirements. You will have full input into the project, too. Custom-built homes tend to have greater resale values than generic houses. Meaning that they often sell quickly, especially in times like these where many new home communities are short on homes with character because so many homes look exactly the same. Unique qualities often equal greater appeal.</p>
<p><strong>Benefit from Specialised Services with a Smaller HomeBuilder</strong></p>
<p>Working with a smaller company on a custom home can give you the personalised service you desire and need when you are heavily involved in the design elements. We do not treat our customer projects like they are a number. We listen to your needs and strive to execute everything on schedule and on budget.</p>
<p>Quality is our first priority on all of our projects. When you work with us, you will receive care and attention throughout the process. We will work with you to design and build the home you are looking for.</p>
<p><strong>What should you look for when choosing a custom homebuilder in Perth?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Need help with special needs? A <a title="Home Builder" href="http://www.nextlevelhomes.com.au/">custom homebuilder</a> should be able to meet those needs.</li>
<li>Want a home with character and style? Use an experienced builder who places strong attention on quality and character.</li>
<li>Looking for on time service at good pricing? Pick the right builder to ensure that you are happy with the finished product and that all promises are met.</li>
<li>Work with someone who looks at energy efficiency and environmentally sustainable practises when planning the design and architecture of your home.</li>
<li>Deal with a well-respected builder who works with high quality suppliers for materials and who can offer a variety of options that will suit your needs, desires, and lifestyle.</li>
</ul>
<p>Many elements need to be considered when you build a new home. At Next Level Homes we take care of all of these elements. We handle building codes and standards and the approval process. We handle all the trades processes involved in the building of the home, and you will work with us alone &#8212; making things streamlined and simple for you.</p>
<p>Here at Next Level Extensions, we are proud to say that we have helped hundreds of clients expand their homes with great <a title="Home Extensions Perth" href="http://www.nextlevelhomes.com.au/planning-a-home-extension-in-perth-ensure-the-builder-is-insured/">home extensions</a> that have character and high quality. We also offer brand new home building services, too. If you want a custom built individual designed home, we would love to help you.</p>
<p>Whether you want a luxury customised home or are interested in something smaller, cost-effective, and efficient it is wise to work with a builder who is experienced and has a great reputation. Next Level Homes has a great reputation and would be happy to show you our portfolio and customer testimonials as well as to meet with you to discuss your needs.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are doing a <a title="Home Extension Perth" href="http://www.nextlevelhomes.com.au/planning-a-home-extension-in-perth-ensure-the-builder-is-insured/">home extension</a>, work with a designer and homebuilder that will help your extension carry some character. Many new home designs seem so generic with small rooms and ordinary walls. If your existing home has plenty of character, you do not have to lose that when you add an extension. A skilled designer is needed to be sure that your finished home exudes with a great character and style. There are many elements to consider both internally and externally. Here are a few things your designer should consider.<br />

<p>Ornate cornice can help your home look lovely. Oftentimes, a home extension looks like a separate attachment to the house both inside and out. The right design could help the extension be a true extension of the design of the home &#8212; in a positive way. Talk to your designer about the essential elements of your existing home that you really like, such as the cornice. Ornate cornice used uniformly throughout your house can give it a look of everything being tied together fluidly. When doing an extension for your home, your existing space can be updated as well.</p>
<p><strong>Ceilings and Doorways</strong></p>
<p>Older homes tend to have larger doorways and higher ceilings. Your extension designer can make sure that the new section of your home is designed with a unified theme.</p>
<p><strong>The Exterior</strong></p>
<p>Some people do not mind having the extension look different from the existing house. But a nice design and the right approach to the exterior, including the roof, dormers, and other elements can make the whole house look like it is one and the same. Other outdoor elements like the fencing and landscaping that can tie everything together nicely.</p>
<p>Your designer will need to take many things into account, including lighting, adjoining properties, and other factors, too. The right approach will give your home space and character. Soon after you get accustomed to your new space, it should not feel like a separate extension. The <a title="Character Home Extensions – Make Your New Home Extension Fit with Your Home" href="http://www.nextlevelhomes.com.au/?p=604">right character extension design</a> will give your home a feel as if it was always that way.</p>

<p><strong>The Brief</strong></p>
<p>Our client had a vision of the completed project. They had already purchased some items for their En-suite that they had experienced in international hotels. All they needed was a builder that could turn their vision into a reality.</p>
<p>We removed the planter box in the Entry to make way for a large void allowing room for a solid jarrah staircase to lead up into the second storey and for light to filter into the dark Entry. The second storey consists of a Master Bedroom, En-suite with make up bench, spa and separate toilet, Walk in Wardrobe, a Home Theatre fitted out with the latest technology and separate Powder Room for the guests to use.</p>
<p>The upper floor is constructed in timber framework with face brickwork externally to match the existing. Design features include a raking cathedral ceiling to the Home Theatre, acoustic insulation to internal walls, cavity sliding door systems throughout so doors disapear into walls, oversized single panel frameless glass shower doors and full length shower channel, granite bench tops and Laundry chute.</p>
<p>The project was completed in just over six months.</p>

<blockquote><p>Customer Feedback</p>
<p>Allan and Craig</p>
<p>I can&#8217;t thank you enough for helping us to complete our dream home. Thank you for taking the time to listen and work together with us to achieve the high quality finish that we wanted to accomplish, as we are aware that some of the ideas and features we insisted on were unusual and outside of the box.</p>
<p>From the earliest of design days through to the final completion everything was first rate! Your ability to clearly communicate and keep me informed on a regular basis of the current and future schedule of works was to a level above what I was expecting from a builder. I also appreciate the effort you put in to addressing my questions and responding to me quickly, as that facet of customer service is often overlooked once a contract is signed.</p>
<p>Your workmanship was expertly and professionally done and at no time did I receive any complaints or concerns from neighbours over any of the tradesmen or works performed on site.</p>
<p>I can&#8217;t explain how comfortable I felt working with your company other than to say if I do rebuild in the future I will be contracting you again to do the build.</p>
<p>Nigel</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Why should you go through the process of renovating your house when you can just pack up your belongings and move on to a new house? Yes, renovating can be cumbersome to deal with during the construction period but there are quite a few downsides to moving to a totally new house.</p>
<p>Downsides could include things such as the cost, disturbance, and the fact that you will need to get accustomed to a new neighbourhood. It is not always the best idea to renovate a house but in many cases, it does make more sense to live where you are rather than moving. <a title="House Renovations" href="http://www.nextlevelhomes.com.au/" target="_blank">Renovations</a> can make a huge difference.<br />
<img style="float: right; margin: 10px;" title="Home Extensions Perth" src="http://www.nextlevelhomes.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/home-extensions-perth-300x225.jpg" alt="Home Extensions Perth" width="300" height="225" /></p>
<p>Here are some signs that you should <a title="Consider Renovating Rather than Moving to a New House" href="http://www.nextlevelhomes.com.au/?p=574">consider renovating your house</a> instead of selling up:</p>
<ul>
<li>You love the neighbourhood you are in, and moving is a bit like playing roulette. If you like where you live, you might find it makes more sense to make the existing house more comfortable.</li>
<li>Your kids are happy at their current home. Moving is not easy on children. Perhaps you are all happy in the house, other than issues with the house’s layout or size. A renovation could fix that.</li>
<li>The neighbourhood you are in is projected to grow in terms of value. If your home is in an area that is steadily increasing in demand and value, hanging onto the house for a few more years could be well worth it in terms of return on investment. Some changes, such as a home extension, could make staying very worthwhile.</li>
<li>You have already got equity in your home and do not want a huge mortgage.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Selling Soon? Increase the Value</strong></p>
<p>Another popular reason you may want to renovate is that your house will soon be offered in the market and you want to gain a maximum value from the sale. This is frequently the reason for home extensions. For instance, if a Perth home is on a large enough property in a desirable neighbourhood but the house is a small bungalow or is quite out-dated, it could be well worth the cost of home extensions.</p>
<p>Whether you are looking for an investment to increase your financial capability, stay in your family home for as long as you can, renovating can make that house much more liveable. You can add more space, rearrange things around, and have a home that feels like new without having to actually move.</p>
<p>Next Level Extensions has done many <a title="Perth Home Extensions" href="http://www.nextlevelhomes.com.au/planning-a-home-extension-in-perth-ensure-the-builder-is-insured/" target="_blank">Perth home extensions</a> and renovations. If you are a Perth homeowner, we would be happy to do a free consultation with you to discuss your options.You may call us at 9300 4691.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are toying between the prospect of buying a bigger house for a bigger mortgage and investing in improvements to your current home, it is a big decision to make. If you are not keen on the idea of moving out, a home improvement can be a great alternative. If your current home feels too small or needs some improvements to make living there more enjoyable or practical for you and your family, <a title="Home Improvements Perth" href="http://www.nextlevelhomes.com.au/home-improvements-and-diy-flourishing-in-perth-australia/" target="_blank">home improvements</a> can be a smart option rather than buying a larger and heftier priced home. Aside from making your home much more enjoyable and liveable with a few improvements, it will also help increase the market value of your property.</p>
<p><strong>Perth Home Extensions</strong><img style="float: right; margin: 10px;" title="Home Improvements" src="http://www.nextlevelhomes.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/family-room-internal-view-home-extension-perth-300x225.jpg" alt="Home Improvements" width="300" height="225" /></p>
<p>Worried about the costs of a major home improvement such as an additional storey or a home extension? Home renovations can be quite costly, and not all people have the financial capacity to readily invest in a major renovation such as a home extension.</p>
<p>Perth area residents are increasingly looking at home improvement loans to help them reach their goals of acquiring the home they want without having to move and endure associated expenses and upheaval.</p>
<p><strong>Home Improvement Loan Benefits</strong></p>
<p>A <a title="Is a Home Improvement Loan a Good Idea?" href="http://www.nextlevelhomes.com.au/?p=564">home improvement loan</a> could be a good alternative to a bigger mortgage with a new house. Not only will the loan help you get the renovation you want but you are going to have a house with a higher value, too.</p>
<p>Naturally, home loan comes with an interest rate but you will have better chances of gaining back an even greater return for your investment through the appraised market value of your home once the improvements are complete. And you will benefit from a home that suits your lifestyle better as you watch the value of your home increase.</p>
<p>When searching for your loan, shop around for the best rate. When searching for your builder, shop around and you will see that our reputation and process make us an ideal choice for your Perth home extension.</p>
<p>Before you apply for a home loan for a home extension, consider talking to us at Next Level Homes. We would be happy to discuss designs, pricing, and all of your options with you for how you can improve your home with a home extension. Many Perth residents come to us at Next Level Extensions for <a title="Perth Home Extensions" href="http://www.nextlevelhomes.com.au/planning-a-home-extension-in-perth-ensure-the-builder-is-insured/" target="_blank">Perth home extensions</a>. We can do an additional storey or put a main floor home extension on and dramatically increase the amount of space you have in your home.</p>
<p>Perth residents have raved about utilising our single and second storey extensions. There is also our custom new home design and build services, which they highly praised because of our focus on delivering top quality workmanship, right from the start of the construction until the work is completed.</p>
