A custom home in Clovelly costs $450,000–$1,200,000+ depending on size and specification. Single storey from $450K, double storey from $650K. Buildana manages design, Randwick City Council approvals and fixed-price construction.
Building Custom Homes in Clovelly
A custom home in Clovelly is a tight-lot beachside build where heritage and the coast both set the terms. This small village between Coogee and Bronte runs Federation cottages and inter-war stock on 250 to 600m2 blocks, and Conservation Areas cover most of the older streets. At a $3M to $6.5M market a designed home on an eligible lot is a strong play, but on a contributory property the honest scope leans to restoration.
The ground is sandstone-dominant with substantial fall to Clovelly Bay, so footings and any retaining are engineered to suit and rock is priced honestly. Coastal salt exposure drives salt-grade detailing as standard. On an eligible lot the design has to answer the village streetscape and earn every square metre of a tight block, with orientation doing the heavy lifting for light and outlook.
What I would check first on your Clovelly block: the heritage status, the sandstone fall and any rock, and the tight-lot envelope. Those decide the job.
We build these fixed-price, licence HBL 487805C. Send me the address and I will tell you whether it is a new build or a restoration.
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
Everything that has to be right before we touch the ground. We come to your Clovelly site or you visit our office on The Horsley Drive in Fairfield. Either way, you leave the meeting with a clear cost band, an outline timeline, and a yes/no on whether your block supports the home you have in mind. The hard yards happen here, not at design lock-in. Our designer draws up plans matched to your Clovelly block — north-facing living, compliant setbacks, garage placement, and outdoor flow. You get floor plans, elevations, and 3D renders to review before we lock in the design.
⏱The Clovelly construction phase. Fixed price, programmed, supervised. Documentation is where bad builders cut corners and good builds stay on track. Buildana commissions the borehole, instructs the engineer, prepares BASIX, and aligns hydraulic, structural, and architectural drawings before lodgement. Certifiers reject sloppy packages — ours go in clean. CDC fast-track (10–15 business days) or DA through Randwick City Council (40–90 days). Clovelly is zoned R2 Low. Construction Certificate obtained before works commence. Slab, frame, lock-up, fit-out, external works — all under fixed-price contract. Dedicated project manager on your build, weekly progress reports, and quality inspections at every critical hold point.
⏱The job isn't done when the site's clean; it's done when you have keys, certificates and warranties. OC, six-year structural warranty, two-year non-structural warranty, all manufacturer warranties on appliances and fixtures, BASIX certificate, certifier sign-offs, and maintenance schedule — all handed over in a single documentation pack. Keep it for your records and any future sale.
⏱Quality Promise
Every Buildana custom home in Clovelly is designed for your block and built under a fixed-price contract — no surprises, no hidden extras.
