A custom home in Waverley costs $450,000–$1,200,000+ depending on size and specification. Single storey from $450K, double storey from $650K. Buildana manages design, Waverley Council approvals and fixed-price construction.
Waverley Home Builds — Made to Your Brief
A custom home in Waverley is a tight-lot eastern build where heritage sets the terms. This inland suburb west of Bronte runs Federation terraces and semi-detached homes plus inter-war flats on 200 to 500m2 blocks, and Conservation Areas cover several streets including the Charing Cross village. At a $2.5M to $5M market a designed home on an eligible lot is a strong play, but on a contributory property the honest scope leans to restoration.
The ground is sandstone, so footings are engineered to suit and rock is priced honestly where it appears. On an eligible tight lot a considered design earns every square metre, with orientation doing the heavy lifting for light and outlook. On a contributory terrace restoration or a rear extension is often the right answer, and a sympathetic new home has to answer the heritage streetscape.
What I would check first on your Waverley block: the heritage status, the sandstone footings and any rock, and the tight-lot envelope. That decides the job.
We build these fixed-price, licence HBL 487805C. Send me the address and I will tell you honestly whether it is a new build or a restoration.
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
Free initial consultation — we discuss your Waverley build, your brief, your budget, and your block. Waverley blocks are typically 200–500m² with R2 Low zoning. Honest advice on what's achievable under Waverley Council's controls.
⏱Design phase covers layout, orientation, and aesthetics for your Waverley site. We work through room sizes, ceiling heights, storage, and natural light until the plan fits how your family actually lives. 3D renders show the finished result before construction starts.
⏱Construction-grade drawings, not concept sketches. Class M engineered slab and footings, structural frame computations, BASIX 2025 compliance, stormwater connection design, contour survey, and detailed sections through every junction. Approval pack ready for Waverley Council or private certifier.
⏱We lodge and manage your approval — CDC for eligible designs (10–15 business days) or DA through Waverley Council if the design sits outside complying development thresholds. CC issued before construction starts.
⏱Build sequence on your Waverley 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.
⏱Final inspection, Occupation Certificate, 6-year structural warranty, keys, and maintenance guide. Your new home near Waverley Cemetery & Charing Cross.
⏱Quality Promise
Our Waverley custom home builds run on a single contract from brief to keys. Fixed price. No variations unless you change the design.
