A custom home in Smithfield costs $450,000–$1,200,000+ depending on size and specification. Single storey from $450K, double storey from $650K. Buildana manages design, Fairfield City Council approvals and fixed-price construction.
Custom Home Builder in Smithfield
A custom home in Smithfield has the well-sized block that family design needs. This suburb next to the Smithfield-Wetherill Park industrial area runs residential streets with generous blocks, much of it ready for replacement, so a knockdown-and-build delivers a designed home on land the ready-made market cannot match. It is practical value in the Fairfield LGA.
The generous blocks open single or double-storey designs with real backyard and indoor-outdoor living, and the ground generally behaves, so a slab engineered off geotech is routine. Where older homes carry fibro, a licensed asbestos strip-out comes first, and as a Fairfield-based builder these are short trips on home turf with a council we know well.
What I would check first on your Smithfield block: the building envelope, any asbestos in older fibro, and the slab off geotech. 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
We come to your Smithfield site or you visit our office on The Horsley Drive in Fairfield. Either way, you leave the meeting with a clear cost band, an outline timeline, and a yes/no on whether your block supports the home you have in mind. The hard yards happen here, not at design lock-in.
⏱Our designer draws up plans matched to your Smithfield block — north-facing living, compliant setbacks, garage placement, and outdoor flow. You get floor plans, elevations, and 3D renders to review before we lock in the design.
⏱Documentation is where bad builders cut corners and good builds stay on track. Buildana commissions the borehole, instructs the engineer, prepares BASIX, and aligns hydraulic, structural, and architectural drawings before lodgement. Certifiers reject sloppy packages — ours go in clean.
⏱CDC fast-track (10–15 business days) or DA through Fairfield City Council (40–90 days). Smithfield is zoned R2 Low Density. Construction Certificate obtained before works commence.
⏱Slab, frame, lock-up, fit-out, external works — all under fixed-price contract. Dedicated project manager on your build, weekly progress reports, and quality inspections at every critical hold point.
⏱OC, six-year structural warranty, two-year non-structural warranty, all manufacturer warranties on appliances and fixtures, BASIX certificate, certifier sign-offs, and maintenance schedule — all handed over in a single documentation pack. Keep it for your records and any future sale.
