A custom home in Burwood Heights costs $450,000–$1,200,000+ depending on size and specification. Single storey from $450K, double storey from $650K. Buildana manages design, Burwood Council approvals and fixed-price construction.
Burwood Heights Custom Home Construction
A custom home in Burwood Heights is usually a knockdown-and-build on a compact block. This small pocket between Burwood and Croydon Park runs Federation cottages, inter-war and post-war brick on 300 to 550m² R2 blocks, so replacing tired stock with an efficient two-storey home is the standard move, close to Burwood's shops and stations.
Heritage Conservation Areas cover several streets, so a new build there needs a sympathetic design and a status check first, while blocks outside the pockets have a freer hand. On compact land, the design has to work hard, with clever planning and good orientation making a modest footprint live large. The ground generally behaves, so a slab off geotech is routine.
What I would check first on your Burwood Heights block: the heritage status, the compact-block design efficiency, and the slab off geotech. Those set the path.

How It Works
From First Call to Final Key
We start with a site visit or showroom meeting to talk through what you want to build on your Burwood Heights block. We'll review Burwood Council's planning controls for 300–600m² (Federation/inter-war terraces and semi-detached predominant; Burwood CBD apartment-led) lots with R2 Low Density zoning and give you a straight answer on budget and feasibility.
⏱Design starts with site analysis — sun path, prevailing breeze, neighbour overlooking, slope, view lines from each likely living area. The plan is drawn to that, not dropped onto the block.
⏱Working drawings, structural engineering (Class M soil design), BASIX certification, geotechnical report, stormwater plan and all certification documentation prepared..
⏱Most custom homes in Burwood Heights qualify for CDC with a 10–15 business day turnaround. If DA is required through Burwood Council, we manage the full submission and respond to any requests for information.
⏱Construction is run from a programme, not made up week to week. Trade sequencing is locked in advance so the slab cures into a waiting frame and the frame waits for nothing.
⏱Walk through your finished home, collect keys, and move in. OC issued, defect-free inspection completed, 6-year structural warranty, and full maintenance guide provided.
⏱Quality Promise
Our Burwood Heights custom home builds run on a single contract from brief to keys. Fixed price. No variations unless you change the design.
