A custom home in St Ives Chase costs $450,000–$1,200,000+ depending on size and specification. Single storey from $450K, double storey from $650K. Buildana manages design, Ku-ring-gai Council approvals and fixed-price construction.
St Ives Chase Home Builds — Made to Your Brief
A custom home in St Ives Chase is a large-block semi-bushland build on the edge of Garigal National Park. The suburb runs 1,200 to 3,000m2 lots, many backing directly onto bushland reserves, and at a $2.4M to $3.4M market a designed home has room to sit generously in a genuinely bush setting. You are buying the land and the trees here, not the commute, and the bushfire controls come with that.
Bushfire planning controls from BAL-19 up to Flame Zone apply across most of the suburb and add roughly 10 to 15 percent to construction, so an RFS assessment and compliant detailing are standard. This is sandstone country, so deep rock is assessed and priced honestly, and there is no train, so the design leans into the quiet, leafy setting. On these large blocks a substantial home managed for the asset protection zone makes the most of the land.
What I would check first on your St Ives Chase block: the BAL rating and bushfire spec, the deep rock, and the asset protection zone. Those set the home and the budget.
We build these fixed-price, licence HBL 487805C. Show us your block and we will design to the bush and the rating.
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.

We lodge and manage your approval — CDC for eligible designs (10–15 business days) or DA through Ku-ring-gai Council if the design sits outside complying development thresholds. CC issued before construction starts. Build sequence on your St Ives Chase 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.
