Building Custom Homes in Wheeler Heights
A custom home in Wheeler Heights is an elevated post-war rebuild with an ocean-view payoff on the eastern fall. This quiet suburb runs 1950s to 1970s brick on 500 to 800m2 R2 blocks with sandstone topography, and at a $2.4M to $3.6M market a designed replacement on the ageing stock is a strong family play. The elevation and the Long Reef outlook are why owners build here.
This is Hawkesbury Sandstone, so rock excavation runs $40K to $100K on many sites and is assessed and priced honestly up front. On the eastern fall a level-changing design captures the ocean view, and the blocks open single or double-storey family designs. There are no broad heritage overlays, which keeps the approval path predictable, and where older homes carry fibro a licensed asbestos strip-out comes first.
What I would check first on your Wheeler Heights block: the rock and substructure, the ocean-view orientation on the eastern fall, and any asbestos in older stock. Those set the home.
We build these fixed-price, licence HBL 487805C. Bring us your block and outlook and we will design to 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 Wheeler Heights 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.
⏱Our designer draws up plans matched to your Wheeler Heights 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.
⏱CDC fast-track (10–15 business days) or DA through Northern Beaches Council (40–90 days). Wheeler Heights is zoned R2 Low.
⏱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.
