Second Storey Additions · Sydney
Add bedrooms, light and long views without leaving the block you love. End-to-end second-storey additions delivered by Ossher Design and Build.

About Ossher Design and Build
A second-storey addition is often the smartest move for a Sydney family home: more space, better light and long views, without the cost, disruption or approval risk of a knockdown rebuild.
Ossher Design and Build delivers second-storey additions across Sydney, with deep experience in the Eastern Suburbs. Founded by Adam Ossher, we manage structural coordination, DA submissions, program sequencing and finishes to a standard the home deserves.
We're familiar with Waverley, Woollahra and Randwick Council pathways and the structural realities of building on top of Federation, Edwardian, Inter-war and mid-century homes.

Local Knowledge
Adding a second storey is technically demanding. Here's how we approach it.
Not every ground-floor home is ready to carry a second level as-is. We coordinate structural engineers early to establish what's viable and what needs strengthening.
Height, setbacks and view-sharing are common friction points. We prepare DA submissions with realistic massing that stands up to assessor scrutiny.
Most families stay in the home downstairs while we build above. We plan weatherproofing, dust control, access and noise windows carefully so daily life keeps working.
Testimonials
"Excellent standard of work, consistently delivered beyond expectations. Adam's ideas transformed our water-damaged living area into a bigger space with improved views, with quality finishes delivered on time and on budget."
"I've worked with Adam for over five years. His attention to detail is exceptional, communication is clear and reliable, and he consistently delivers high-quality work."
"Working with Adam was a genuinely great experience. The process was organised and far less stressful than expected, and the final quality and attention to detail were outstanding."
