If you’re living in the Fleurieu Peninsula and considering expanding or upgrading your home, you’re not alone. More and more homeowners in Victor Harbor, Goolwa, Port Elliot, Normanville, and surrounding areas are choosing to renovate, extend, or alter their existing homes rather than move and for good reason.
From second-storey additions and open plan living upgrades to outdoor entertaining areas and kitchen overhauls, locals are reimagining their homes instead of starting over. And with expert support from Kleinig Constructions, you can bring your vision to life with confidence.
Why Additions & Alterations Are on the Rise in the Fleurieu
The Fleurieu Peninsula offers an incredible lifestyle — with charming coastal towns, peaceful rural living, and welcoming communities. But as life changes, so do your space and layout needs.
Here’s why more Fleurieu locals are choosing to stay and improve:
- Stay in the area you love — Keep your coastal views, friendly neighbours, and community ties.
- Maximise your block — Many homes have untapped potential for expansion.
- Boost your property’s value — A well-planned addition can dramatically increase resale appeal.
- Avoid the cost and stress of moving — Skip stamp duty, agent fees, and property search headaches.

How to Choose the Right Builder for Your Addition
Not all builders are created equal — especially when it comes to renovations and alterations. Here’s what to look for:
1. Research Their Specialties
Look for a builder like Kleinig Constructions who specialises in additions, extensions, and renovations, not just new builds.
2. Read Reviews
Ask for references or check testimonials from local clients. Happy homeowners are a great sign of quality workmanship and communication.
3. Compare Quotes
Get at least two quotes — but compare more than just price. Look for detail, timelines, and clear breakdowns of what’s included.
4. Ask About Local Approvals
A good local builder will understand the development application (DA) process with your local council — and guide you through it.
5. Consider Timeline & Availability
Ask realistic questions about when the work can start and how long it will take. Kleinig Constructions will provide a realistic, honest schedule.
