A custom home in Turramurra 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.
Building Custom Homes in Turramurra
A custom home in Turramurra is a premium upper North Shore build with heritage to respect. This central village of upper Ku-ring-gai runs generous 700 to 1,100m² blocks, and while Heritage Conservation Areas around the village limit demolition on certain streets, the back-street blocks generally allow a new build under standard Council controls. At the leafy premium this suburb commands, a designed home is a sound long-term play.
The generous blocks give real design freedom for a substantial family home oriented to the leafy setting, near the T1 station and the village. Soil grades M on the ridge with E pockets near the drainage lines, so a slab engineered off geotech confirms whether footings are routine or need attention. Where a block sits in a heritage area, the design turns sympathetic and a status check comes first.
What I would check first on your Turramurra block: whether it sits in a heritage street, the reactive-soil pockets from geotech, and the building envelope. Those set the design.
We build these fixed-price, licence HBL 487805C. Let us check your street's controls before you design.
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
Book a free consultation at our Western Sydney showroom or on your Turramurra block. We assess the site, walk through your brief, and outline a realistic budget and timeline.
⏱We design for Turramurra's climate and your 700–1,100m² block: cross-ventilation, eaves sized for summer sun angles, living rooms positioned for winter light. Functional first, then we work on the aesthetic.
⏱Full documentation pack: structural engineering for Class M soil, BASIX Certificate, geotechnical testing, stormwater design, and all drawings Ku-ring-gai Council and your certifier need. Nothing left to chance.
⏱Approval pathway gets chosen at design stage, not after. CDC is faster but constrains the design envelope; DA gives flexibility but adds time.
⏱Fixed-price build from engineered slab to keys. Weekly milestone updates from your dedicated project manager.
⏱Defect-free handover inspection with you on site. Occupation Certificate, 6-year structural warranty, appliance manuals, maintenance schedule, and the keys to your new Turramurra home.
