The Offset function is what you're looking for.

Change your selection filter to Geometry:

Select the surface you want to offset:

Pick Offset (Model tab, Editing group):

If it's not too complex of a surface, you get an offset at the distance entered:

If you want side surfaces, that is available in the Options tab:

    Thanks for helping Sir but i actually tried that and still its not extruding upto that surface. It only lets me select the original surface geometry for extrusion and not the offset one.

    The part I outlined only creates surfaces. It may require some additional boundary blends, merges and a solidify.

    Without seeing the piece you're having trouble with, I may be out of suggestions.

    Would simply using offset from flexibile modeling tab do it for you?
