A custom home in Gladesville costs $450,000–$1,200,000+ depending on size and specification. Single storey from $450K, double storey from $650K. Buildana manages design, Hunters Hill Council approvals and fixed-price construction.
Gladesville Home Builds — Made to Your Brief
A custom home in Gladesville often chases the river. The southern edge falls toward the Parramatta River, so a well-designed home there can capture a water outlook that lifts a property past the $2.2M to $4M median, with river-fall lots reaching well beyond. On 400 to 800m² blocks with a mix of stock ready for replacement, the design and the outlook are everything.
Heritage is the filter. Conservation Areas are extensive over the Victoria Road village core and side streets, so a new build outside those pockets has a freer hand while contributory streets need a status check first. The ground is Wianamatta Shale with sandstone outcrops on the river fall, so a home down the slope often means engineered piers priced off geotech.
What I would check first on your Gladesville block: the heritage status, whether a design would claim a river outlook, and the sandstone if you are on the southern fall. Those set the home.
We build these fixed-price, licence HBL 487805C. Bring us the block and we will design to the river.
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 start with a site visit or showroom meeting to talk through what you want to build on your Gladesville block. We'll review Hunters Hill Council's planning controls for 500–1,200m² (premium Federation/Victorian/inter-war heritage predominant); 800–2,000m²+ harbour-front (Woolwich/Hunters Hill peninsula tip) lots with R2 Low Density 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.
⏱The Gladesville construction phase. Fixed price, programmed, supervised. Working drawings, structural engineering (Class Hawkesbury Sandstone bedrock soil design), BASIX certification, geotechnical report, stormwater plan and all certification documentation prepared. Most custom homes in Gladesville qualify for CDC with a 10–15 business day turnaround. If DA is required through Hunters Hill 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+.
⏱The job isn't done when the site's clean; it's done when you have keys, certificates and warranties. 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.
