A custom home in Ashfield depends entirely on the block, because this is a suburb of tight lots, heritage pockets and R4 towers all at once. The streets west of Summer Hill run Federation cottages, terraces and inter-war stock on 250 to 500m2 blocks, and at a $1.7M to $2.8M median a designed home on the right lot is a strong inner-west play. What you can build is a function of zoning and heritage on your specific address.
On an R2 or non-heritage lot a considered single or double-storey home works hard on a tight footprint, and on the tighter blocks the design has to earn every square metre. Heritage Conservation Areas sit in pockets, so the status check comes first. The ground is Wianamatta Shale, so footings get stable bearing and a slab off geotech is routine near the Ashfield Mall commercial core.
What I would check first on your Ashfield block: the zoning and heritage status, the tight-lot building envelope, and the slab off geotech. Those set what is possible.
We build these fixed-price, licence HBL 487805C. Send me the address and I will tell you what the block allows.

The block decides
The streets west of Summer Hill run Federation cottages, terraces and inter-war stock on 250 to 500m2 blocks, alongside R4 towers around the station.
At a $1.7M to $2.8M median a designed home on the right R2 or non-heritage lot is a strong inner-west play.
Tight footprint, stable ground
On the tighter blocks the design has to earn every square metre, so a considered double-storey layout does real work.
The Wianamatta Shale gives footings stable bearing, so a slab off geotech is routine, with heritage pockets checked first.
