A custom home in Phillip Bay costs $450,000–$1,200,000+ depending on size and specification. Single storey from $450K, double storey from $650K. Buildana manages design, Randwick City Council approvals and fixed-price construction.
Custom Homes Designed for Phillip Bay
A custom home in Phillip Bay is an affordable way into a designed build in the eastern suburbs. This small inland suburb adjoining La Perouse runs post-war fibro and brick on 500 to 700m² blocks, and at a $1.7M to $2.6M median it is one of the more accessible entries in the Randwick LGA. A knockdown-and-build delivers a home shaped to your household on a decent block near the coast.
The ground is sandstone-dominant, so excavation is a test-dig matter and a slab engineered off geotech keeps the substructure predictable. Where older homes carry fibro, a licensed asbestos strip-out comes first, and the coastal proximity means durable, salt-aware material selection on exposed elevations. The block depth suits single or double-storey family designs.
What I would check first on your Phillip Bay block: the sandstone under the footprint, any asbestos in older fibro, and the building envelope. Those set the design.
We build these fixed-price, licence HBL 487805C. Bring us your block and brief and we will draw it.
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
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 Phillip Bay block actually allows under R2 Low controls. Walk away with a realistic shortlist of design directions.
⏱Floor plan designed specifically for your Phillip Bay block — orientation, setbacks, views, slope, and how you actually live. 500–700m² blocks allow generous layouts. Multiple options, 3D renders, and finishes palette.
⏱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. Randwick City Council has typical processing windows we plan around so the build start date isn't a moving target. You see the lodgement reference, the assessment progress, and the issued certificate at each step.
⏱Construction runs 24–40 weeks depending on size and complexity. Your project manager provides weekly updates with photos and milestone tracking. Every stage is inspected before the next begins.
⏱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. You move in to a finished home, not a defects list to chase.
⏱Quality Promise
Every Buildana custom home in Phillip Bay is designed for your block and built under a fixed-price contract — no surprises, no hidden extras.
