Raising house on concrete slab

Hi,

I have a 165sq mtr house partially on a concrete slab (major portion) and an extension on stumps. I want to check if it’s feasible to raise it and build underneath or should I build over.

It’s an old house (built in 1960s) but has solid hardwood timber frame that I would love to retain and create an open layout underneath.

I have seen videos on YouTube of this being done in the US but not sure if that can be done here.

Cheers

You will need to overcome compliance issues, start with an architect or a good building designer

Yes I agreed with you, This is a good suggestion to recover all the issues. Thanks for your advice!

From an engineering perspective raising the house isn't cost effective
There are minimal compliance issues for basements, lol no overlooking issues
OT Basement are effective where
1. the land costs are in excess of $20K/m2, chelsea/london houses have 3 storey mega basements
2. Height restrictions & Caveats
3. Airbnb Rentals in sort after locations ie house renovations, lofts, basements, garage conversions, etc
4. Historically significant/heritage buildings that can't be touched above ground, but do as you wish beneath? Here
