When you need more space but your block is already built out, the only direction left is up. A second storey addition gives you extra bedrooms, bathrooms, or living areas without reducing your yard or garden. Token Building designs and builds first floor additions for homes across Camden, Oran Park, Campbelltown, and the wider Macarthur region. We manage the full process from structural assessment through to handover, so you get a finished upper level that looks and feels like it was always part of the home.

Not every home needs a second storey, but for many families in Macarthur it is the most practical solution. Here are the situations where going up is the right choice.

Your block is too small to extend outwards. Newer estates in Oran Park, Gregory Hills, Spring Farm, and Gledswood Hills have smaller lot sizes with limited side and rear setbacks. A ground floor extension may not be feasible because there is simply nowhere to go. Adding a second storey uses the existing footprint and avoids eating into your outdoor space.

You need multiple rooms. If you need two or three extra bedrooms, a parent retreat, or a second living area, building upwards gives you enough floor area to fit everything without sprawling across the block. Many of our clients add a full master suite upstairs with a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite, freeing up rooms downstairs for the kids.

You want to keep your backyard. Families with young children, pools, or outdoor entertaining areas often prefer to keep their ground-level space intact. A second storey lets you add the rooms you need while leaving the yard, deck, and garden untouched.

Your home’s structure supports it. Most single-storey homes built in the last 20 years have slab foundations and frames that can support an upper level with the right engineering. We assess your home’s structure early in the process to confirm feasibility and identify any reinforcement that may be needed.

Token Building is a licensed building company with over 20 years of experience in the Macarthur region. We have completed home extensions of all types across Camden, Campbelltown, Narellan, and surrounding suburbs. Second storey additions require a builder who understands structural engineering, council requirements, and how to integrate new construction with an existing home. That is what we do.

• Licensed and insured. Full NSW building licence with all required insurances in place.
• Structural expertise. We work with qualified structural engineers and understand what is needed to safely add an upper level to an existing home.
• Council management. We prepare DA submissions and coordinate with Camden Council and other local authorities throughout the approval process.
• Quality finishes. The upper level is finished to the same standard as the rest of your home, with matching rooflines, cladding, and interior details.

For homeowners who need extra space but prefer to build at ground level, we also offer room additions and granny flat construction as alternative options (coming soon).

Many of our clients stay in their home while the second storey is being built. We plan the construction stages to minimise disruption and keep your ground floor liveable throughout the project. The noisiest and most disruptive phase is the roof removal and framing, which typically takes two to three weeks. Once the upper level is enclosed, the remaining work is mostly internal and far less intrusive. We communicate the schedule in advance so you can plan around the key stages.
