A custom home in Cherrybrook costs $450,000–$1,200,000+ depending on size and specification. Single storey from $450K, double storey from $650K. Buildana manages design, Hornsby Shire Council approvals and fixed-price construction.
Cherrybrook Custom Home Construction
A custom home in Cherrybrook builds into one of the Hills' most sought-after family suburbs. This premium master-planned pocket runs 1980s to 2010s brick on 600 to 900m² R2 blocks, and replacing earlier stock with a designed home is a strong play at a $2.4M to $3.4M median, backed by the Cherrybrook Metro and the Technology High School catchment. The generous blocks give real design scope.
Those lots suit substantial family homes with proper indoor-outdoor living, and the family-heavy demographic rewards a build done properly for the long term. The Hawkesbury Sandstone here can mean rock in the dig, so we test before pricing groundwork, and a slab engineered off geotech keeps the substructure predictable. Metro convenience only strengthens the case for building to stay.
What I would check first on your Cherrybrook block: the building envelope, where the sandstone starts under the footprint, and the design against the school catchment premium. Those set the home.
We build these fixed-price, licence HBL 487805C. Bring us your block and brief and we will draw it.
Buildana's design-and-construct service covers everything — from initial design brief and land assessment through to council approval and fixed-price construction. One builder, one contract, one point of contact.

How It Works
From First Call to Final Key
We start at the kerb. Before a single sketch, we stand on your Cherrybrook block and work out what the land wants — sun path, slope, views, neighbours, the R2 Low Density predominant envelope we've got to design inside. That walk determines almost every decision that follows.
⏱Design happens in layers. First the plan — where the kitchen is, how the bedrooms stack, what the morning routine looks like. Then the envelope — roof pitch, eave depth, window sizes matched to the Cherrybrook climate. Then the finishes. Nothing gets drawn without a reason you can point to.
⏱Documentation is the unglamorous part, but it's where most projects go wrong. Engineering for Class Hawkesbury Sandstone bedrock soil, BASIX 2025, Hornsby Shire Council drawings, hydraulics, stormwater. We stage it so the certifier approves the first time — not the fourth.
⏱Then we build. Programme in hand, trades booked, material orders placed weeks before they're needed so nothing waits on delivery. Weekly update, monthly milestone walk, defects fixed as we go rather than collected at the end.
⏱Quality Promise
Every Buildana custom home in Cherrybrook is designed for your block and built under a fixed-price contract — no surprises, no hidden extras.
