Custom Homes Designed for Little Bay
A custom home in Little Bay is a coastal build in a master-planned suburb on the former Prince Henry Hospital site, where freestanding lots are the exception. Most of the suburb is contemporary villas, townhouses and apartments built from the 2000s, and on a rare detached lot a designed home is possible, with an ocean or golf-course outlook justifying doing it well at a $2M to $4M market. The estate character sets the terms.
This is sandstone-dominant ground with substantial cliff fall to Little Bay, so footings and any retaining are engineered to suit and rock is priced honestly. Coastal exposure mandates salt-grade specs, and strict estate design controls govern facade, materials and siting, so the first step is confirming what your lot and title allow. A design oriented to the coast makes the most of the position.
What I would check first at Little Bay: whether your lot is a freestanding title, the estate design controls, and the cliff fall and salt exposure. Those decide the job.
We build these fixed-price, licence HBL 487805C. Send me the lot and I will tell you what is possible.

How It Works
From First Call to Final Key
Book a free consultation at our Western Sydney showroom or on your Little Bay block. We assess the site, walk through your brief, and outline a realistic budget and timeline. No obligation, no sales pressure.
⏱We design for Little Bay's climate and your 250–500m² block: cross-ventilation, eaves sized for summer sun angles, living rooms positioned for winter light. Functional first, then we work on the aesthetic. Material palette and finishes locked in alongside the plan, not as an afterthought.
⏱Full documentation pack: structural engineering for Class M soil, BASIX Certificate, geotechnical testing, stormwater design, and all drawings Randwick City Council and your certifier need. Nothing left to chance.
⏱Approval pathway gets chosen at design stage, not after. CDC is faster but constrains the design envelope; DA gives flexibility but adds time. Buildana flags the trade-off early so you decide which side of that line you want to be on for your Little Bay build.
⏱Fixed-price build from engineered slab to keys. Weekly milestone updates from your dedicated project manager. Quality inspections at every stage.
⏱Defect-free handover inspection with you on site. Occupation Certificate, 6-year structural warranty, appliance manuals, maintenance schedule, and the keys to your new Little Bay home.
