扩展 (kuòzhǎn) vs 扩建 (kuòjiàn): use 扩展 when referring to the expansion of concepts or ideas, while 扩建 specifically pertains to physical structures.

Although 扩建 is not a specific HSK vocabulary word, understanding it enhances comprehension of related terms like 建筑 (jiànzhù, architecture) and 扩大 (kuòdà, to expand). Focus on recognizing how these terms interconnect within the context of urban development.
Learners may mistakenly use 扩建 when they mean to say 'renovate' (改建), leading to confusion about the intent of construction work. For example, saying '我们要扩建房子' (We want to extend the house) when they actually mean to renovate it is incorrect; the correct term would be '改建房子'.
