A custom home in Enmore costs $450,000–$1,200,000+ depending on size and specification. Single storey from $450K, double storey from $650K. Buildana manages design, Inner West Council approvals and fixed-price construction.
Enmore Home Builds — Made to Your Brief
A custom home in Enmore is almost always a restoration or an extension, not a new build, because Victorian terraces on 100 to 300m2 blocks fill a suburb that is wall-to-wall Heritage Conservation Area. On a contributory terrace the honest answer is to restore the front and rework or extend the rear, and a full knockdown is precluded across virtually the whole suburb. I would rather be straight about that than sell you a new build council will refuse.
This is Wianamatta Shale, so any approved works are engineered to suit, and the challenge on these tight terrace blocks is winning light and space at the rear within the heritage envelope. The Enmore Theatre and the King Street and Enmore Road strips define a character owners buy into. Where a genuinely non-contributory or infill site exists, a sympathetic new home is possible, but it is rare.
What I would check first in Enmore: the heritage status of the terrace, whether any new build is permissible, and the rear envelope for light and space. That decides the scope.
We build these fixed-price, licence HBL 487805C. Send me the address and I will tell you honestly whether it is a restoration, an extension or a rare new build.
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 Enmore block and work out what the land wants — sun path, slope, views, neighbours, the R1/R2 General/Low 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 Enmore 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 M soil, BASIX 2025, Inner West 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.
