Licensed Custom Home Builder Oatley — Design & Construct
NSW licensed builder (Oliver Alameri) delivering fixed-price custom homes across Oatley 2223. Engineered slab for Class M soil, BASIX 2025, 6-year structural warranty.
Custom Home Builder in Oatley
A custom home in Oatley rewards doing things in the right order. On the river side of the suburb, a new build deals with the Foreshore Building Line, a Crown Lands referral on river-frontage works and substantial fall to Oatley Bay, so the design steps with the slope and the outlook. Away from the water, Heritage Conservation Areas cover several streets, so demolition and design there need a status check first. Blocks run 500 to 800m².
The reward is a $2.2M to $3.5M median with river-fall premium, Oatley Park and the village at the door. Alluvial Class P or E soil near the foreshore changes footing design, while the shale-sandstone interface elsewhere is friendlier, so geotech comes before drawings. The sequence matters: heritage status, then foreshore constraints, then geotech, then design.
What I would check first on your Oatley block: whether it is river-side or inland, the heritage status, and the foreshore line if it fronts the water. Those set the sequence.
We build these fixed-price, licence HBL 487805C. We run that sequence for owners before a dollar goes to drawings.
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.

Reward and ground
The reward is a $2.2M to $3.5M median with river-fall premium, Oatley Park and the village at the door.

How It Works
From First Call to Final Key
We start at the kerb. Before a single sketch, we stand on your Oatley block and work out what the land wants — sun path, slope, views, neighbours, the R2 Low Density 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 Oatley 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, Georges River 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.
