A custom home in Clareville is a Pittwater-fall build on one of the calmest, most prized waterfronts on the northern beaches. The blocks run 600 to 1,500m2 with substantial sandstone fall to Clareville Beach, and at a $3.5M to $10M-plus waterfront market the land and the sheltered outlook justify a home engineered to step down to the water. This is quiet, premium Pittwater and it builds accordingly.
This is Hawkesbury Sandstone with deep rock excavation, so the substructure is engineered and priced honestly from the start, and bushland-fringe lots carry a BAL rating from 19 up to Flame Zone that drives the spec. A Foreshore Building Line governs direct waterfront, so the site controls shape the envelope before design. A level-changing design captures the calm-water outlook that sets Clareville apart.
What I would check first on your Clareville block: the rock and substructure, the BAL rating, and the Foreshore Building Line. Those set the home.
We build these fixed-price, licence HBL 487805C. Show us your fall and outlook and we will design to 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 with a site visit or showroom meeting to talk through what you want to build on your Clareville block. We'll review Northern Beaches Council's planning controls for 600–1,500m² lots with R2 Low 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. Two design options usually, sometimes three, then you pick the direction and we refine.
⏱Working drawings, structural engineering (Class Hawkesbury Sandstone soil design), BASIX certification, geotechnical report, stormwater plan and all certification documentation prepared.
⏱Most custom homes in Clareville qualify for CDC with a 10–15 business day turnaround. If DA is required through Northern Beaches Council, we manage the full submission and respond to any requests for information. Construction Certificate follows.
⏱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. That's how a 24–40 week build actually delivers in 24–40 weeks instead of running 60+.
⏱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.
