Custom Homes Designed for Naremburn
A custom home builder in Naremburn is working heritage, not harbour. This is a suburb of workers' cottages, Federation and Californian Bungalow homes on tight 350 to 550m² blocks, framed by the Gore Hill Freeway and the Pacific Highway, with Heritage Conservation Areas over most of the inner streets. There is no water view to design toward here. What there is instead is character, and Council guards it closely, so the work is often a careful rework or a contemporary home that sits right beside the old cottages.
The blocks are small, so the design has to be clever about light, cars and space rather than sprawl. The market sits around $2.4M to $3.4M, and the appeal is the village, the walk to St Leonards and the tightly-held streets. Heavy HCA scrutiny means demolition and external change get checked hard on the inner streets, so knowing what your block allows comes first.
What I would check first on a Naremburn block: the heritage status, what a small-lot design can actually achieve, and demolition rights. Those set the scope.
We do this careful inner-suburb work fixed-price, licence HBL 487805C. Send us the address and we will tell you honestly what the heritage allows.
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.

Heritage before demolition
Most of the inner Naremburn streets sit in Conservation Areas protecting the workers' cottages and Federation homes, so demolition and external change are checked hard. On many blocks a clean knockdown is not on, and the honest project is a rework or a contemporary home that suits the street.
We check the heritage status of your exact address first, because designing a plan Council will refuse wastes your money. On the streets outside the HCA there is more freedom.
Small-lot design done properly
At 350 to 550m² the blocks are tight, so the design has to earn every metre: light brought deep into the plan, cars handled without eating the yard, space stacked rather than spread. That is its own discipline and it is where a Naremburn home is won or lost.
Send us the address and we will tell you what the heritage allows and what a small-lot home can achieve on your block.

How It Works
From First Call to Final Key
Everything that has to be right before we touch the ground. Free initial consultation — we discuss your Naremburn build, your brief, your budget, and your block. Naremburn blocks are typically 350–550m² with R2 Low Density zoning. Honest advice on what's achievable under Willoughby City Council's controls. Design phase covers layout, orientation, and aesthetics for your Naremburn site. We work through room sizes, ceiling heights, storage, and natural light until the plan fits how your family actually lives. 3D renders show the finished result before construction starts.
⏱The Naremburn construction phase. Fixed price, programmed, supervised. Construction-grade drawings, not concept sketches. Class M engineered slab and footings, structural frame computations, BASIX 2025 compliance, stormwater connection design, contour survey, and detailed sections through every junction. Approval pack ready for Willoughby City Council or private certifier. We lodge and manage your approval — CDC for eligible designs (10–15 business days) or DA through Willoughby City Council if the design sits outside complying development thresholds. CC issued before construction starts. Build sequence on your Naremburn block: site set-up, slab pour and cure, frame stand and tie-down, roof and lock-up, internal fit-out (plaster, paint, joinery, tiles), kitchen and bathroom installation, final services connection, external works (driveway, fencing, landscaping). Each stage signed off before the next.
⏱The job isn't done when the site's clean; it's done when you have keys, certificates and warranties. Final inspection, Occupation Certificate, 6-year structural warranty, keys, and maintenance guide. Your new home near Naremburn village & Flat Rock Gully.
