Elanora Heights Home Builds — Made to Your Brief
A custom home in Elanora Heights is an elevated bushland build with a lagoon and ocean-view payoff on the eastern fall. The suburb above Narrabeen Lagoon runs 1960s to 1990s brick and contemporary homes on 600 to 1,200m2 blocks, and at a $2.4M to $4.5M market a designed home oriented to the view is a strong play. The elevation and the bush setting are why owners build here.
Bushland-fringe lots backing the lagoon catchment and Garigal National Park carry a BAL rating from 19 up to Flame Zone, so an RFS assessment is standard and drives the spec. This is Hawkesbury Sandstone with deep rock excavation running $50K to $130K on many sites, so the substructure is engineered and priced honestly up front. On the eastern fall a level-changing design captures the lagoon and ocean outlook.
What I would check first on your Elanora Heights block: the BAL rating, the rock and substructure cost, and how the home captures the eastern view. 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.

Elevated, with the view
The suburb above Narrabeen Lagoon runs 1960s to 1990s brick and contemporary homes on 600 to 1,200m2 blocks.
At a $2.4M to $4.5M market a level-changing design on the eastern fall captures the lagoon and ocean outlook.
BAL and deep rock
Bushland-fringe lots backing the lagoon catchment and Garigal carry a BAL rating up to Flame Zone, so an RFS assessment is standard.
This is Hawkesbury Sandstone with deep rock at $50K to $130K, so the substructure is engineered and priced honestly.

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 Elanora Heights block. We'll review Northern Beaches Council's planning controls for 600–1,200m² 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 Elanora Heights 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.
⏱Quality Promise
We build custom homes in Elanora Heights the way they should be built — one contractor, fixed price, accountability at every stage.
