Glen Iris is one of Melbourne’s most loved inner suburbs. Leafy streets, beautiful character homes, strong property values and a lifestyle that families invest in for the long term. It is also a suburb where homeowners regularly outgrow their space before they are ready to leave it.
A well-designed house extension is the answer, and DMI Build has built one here. We are a registered residential builder (CDB-U 52883) specialising in house extensions across Melbourne’s inner suburbs. If you are considering extending your Glen Iris home, whether ground floor, side addition or second storey, we would love to hear about your project.
House extensions Glen Iris — two-storey addition with timber battens, glass balustrade and brick base by DMI Build.
Glen Iris sits within the City of Stonnington and City of Boroondara council areas depending on your street, and both have active heritage overlays that apply to many of the suburb’s period homes. Victorian, Edwardian and interwar-era properties are common throughout the suburb, and any extension on a heritage-affected property requires careful planning, considered design and a builder who genuinely understands the approval process.
Block sizes in Glen Iris are generous by inner-Melbourne standards, which makes ground-floor rear extensions, side additions and second-storey builds all viable depending on your site. With median house prices sitting well above $1.5 million, a considered extension adds real value to both your quality of life and your property.
House Extensions we build in Glen Iris
Every extension is carefully planned in collaboration with you (and your architect, if applicable) to ensure the design not only looks right but lives well. We deliver tailored home extensions in Glen Iris, aligned with your needs, lifestyle and architectural intent.

Our Work in Glen Iris
We have completed a second-storey house extension in Glen Iris, a full addition on a compact inner-suburban block that added three bedrooms, a study, an open-plan kitchen and living zone, and a master ensuite with skylight. Every space was designed to support how the family truly lives, not just to add square metres.
The project was delivered with architect-designed plans and required precise structural planning, heritage-sensitive exterior detailing and careful site management throughout construction. It was completed on time and on budget.

What Our Glen Iris Client Said
DMI Build was the selected builder for our Glen Iris Project – an extensive renovation and addition, which presented a number of complexities.
During the tendering process, we found Dmitri to be completely transparent, honest and very helpful. Prior to signing contracts, he worked with us to meet the project budget and made a number of suggestions of areas we can look into alternatives to make necessary savings.
The project was a complex and detailed addition, which required a high level attention to detail and experience. From the beginning, Dmitri exceeded our expectations with a willingness to go above and beyond to make sure of the best outcomes were achieved through all stages of the project. Dmitri displayed a thorough knowledge of construction techniques, building codes and Australian Standards.
Above all else, the project finished on time and on budget, despite a number of contract variations along the way.
Dmitri will be a preferred builder in the future and I can comfortably recommend DMI Build for any project, irrespective of complexities.

Architect-aligned from day one

Our quotes are detailed and fixed in scope. There are no hidden costs and no allowances that quietly disappear. You know exactly what you are getting before you sign anything, and we will tell you plainly if something is not feasible within your budget.
A limited number of projects each year
We take on a small number of extensions each year by choice. It is the only way to maintain the standard of supervision, communication and care that each project deserves.
