Building Custom Homes in Kurraba Point
A custom home builder in Kurraba Point is working one of the rarest markets in Sydney. This is the harbourside peninsula between Neutral Bay and Shell Cove, Federation and inter-war homes and harbour apartments on 300 to 600m² blocks that fall hard to the water. Sites that let you build a detached home come up a handful of times a decade, and when one does it is a $3.2M to $6.5M proposition on the block alone. Heritage controls sit heavily.
What the scarcity buys is a setting almost nothing matches: the ferry from Kurraba wharf to Circular Quay, Kareela Reserve on the shoreline, water on three sides. The build is a sandstone harbour-fall project, engineered slabs and substantial retaining as standard, because the fall is serious. If you are watching a site here, get us across it early, because timing and heritage advice decide these jobs.
What I would check first on a Kurraba Point block: the heritage status, how far it falls to the water, and the depth of the rock. Those set the whole project.
We build these to standard, fixed-price, licence HBL 487805C. Send us the address for an honest read on the heritage, the fall and the rock.
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.

A rare detached site
Most of Kurraba Point is long-held or gone to apartments, so a block you can actually build a house on is scarce. When one appears it is usually a non-contributory home on a harbour-fall lot, and the decision to move has to happen fast and well-advised. We help you read the site before you commit, not after.
Get the heritage status and the rock understood first. On this peninsula those two things decide whether the block is the opportunity it looks like.
A sandstone harbour-fall build
The fall to the water is the reason to be here and the reason the build costs what it does. Sandstone excavation, retaining and a design that steps down the block to reach the outlook: that is the Kurraba Point project. Done right the home opens to the harbour on every main level.
We walk the fall and get the rock investigated before quoting, because a number off a plan on a block like this is a guess. Send us the address and we will read the heritage, the fall and the rock together.

How It Works
From First Call to Final Key
First meeting is about getting the brief right — number of bedrooms, lifestyle priorities, future-proofing, budget envelope, and what you'd hate to compromise on. We pair that with what your Kurraba Point block actually allows under R3 Medium controls.
⏱Floor plan designed specifically for your Kurraba Point block — orientation, setbacks, views, slope, and how you actually live. 300–600m² blocks allow generous layouts.
⏱We prepare everything needed for approval — engineering drawings sized for Class M ground conditions, BASIX certificate, geotech report, survey, and stormwater plan. All documentation handled in-house.
⏱Lodgement, RFI responses, condition negotiation, and CC issue — all managed in-house. North Sydney Council has typical processing windows we plan around so the build start date isn't a moving target.
⏱Construction runs 24–40 weeks depending on size and complexity. Your project manager provides weekly updates with photos and milestone tracking.
⏱Handover is a sign-off process, not a key drop. We walk every room with you, mark anything below standard, complete those items before settling, then issue OC, warranty, and documentation.
