A custom home in Bondi Beach costs $450,000–$1,200,000+ depending on size and specification. Single storey from $450K, double storey from $650K. Buildana manages design, Waverley Council approvals and fixed-price construction.
Bondi Beach Custom Home Construction
A custom home in Bondi Beach is as much a heritage and coastal question as a design one, because Conservation Areas cover most of the older streets. The Federation cottages and inter-war stock sit on 250 to 700m2 blocks fronting the beach and Campbell Parade, and at a $3.5M to $15M market, and far more on direct beachfront, the land is extraordinary but the controls are real. On a contributory lot the honest scope leans to restoration; on an eligible lot a sympathetic new home is achievable.
The ground is sandstone with substantial cliff fall on the southern end, so footings and any retaining are engineered to suit and salt exposure drives marine-grade detailing near the front. On an eligible lot the design has to answer the streetscape and the coastal setting. This is a premium, exposed environment and the specification reflects it.
What I would check first in Bondi Beach: the heritage status of the lot, the coastal exposure and any cliff fall, and whether new build is permissible. Those decide the job.
We build these fixed-price, licence HBL 487805C. Send me the address and I will tell you honestly whether it is a new build or a restoration.

How It Works
From First Call to Final Key
Everything that has to be right before we touch the ground. First meeting is about getting the brief right — number of bedrooms, lifestyle priorities, future-proofing, budget envelope, and what you'd hate to compromise on. We pair that with what your Bondi Beach block actually allows under R2 Low controls. Walk away with a realistic shortlist of design directions. Floor plan designed specifically for your Bondi Beach block — orientation, setbacks, views, slope, and how you actually live. 250–700m² blocks allow generous layouts. Multiple options, 3D renders, and finishes palette.
⏱The Bondi Beach construction phase. Fixed price, programmed, supervised. We prepare everything needed for approval — engineering drawings sized for Class M ground conditions, BASIX certificate, geotech report, survey, and stormwater plan. All documentation handled in-house. Lodgement, RFI responses, condition negotiation, and CC issue — all managed in-house. Waverley Council has typical processing windows we plan around so the build start date isn't a moving target. You see the lodgement reference, the assessment progress, and the issued certificate at each step. Construction runs 24–40 weeks depending on size and complexity. Your project manager provides weekly updates with photos and milestone tracking. Every stage is inspected before the next begins.
⏱The job isn't done when the site's clean; it's done when you have keys, certificates and warranties. Handover is a sign-off process, not a key drop. We walk every room with you, mark anything below standard, complete those items before settling, then issue OC, warranty, and documentation. You move in to a finished home, not a defects list to chase.
