A custom home in Woollahra costs $450,000–$1,200,000+ depending on size and specification. Single storey from $450K, double storey from $650K. Buildana manages design, Woollahra Municipal Council approvals and fixed-price construction.
Woollahra Custom Home Construction
A custom home in Woollahra is almost always a restoration or a sympathetic new build on the rare eligible lot, because Conservation Areas cover virtually all streets. The Federation and Victorian terraces and sandstone semis sit on 200 to 500m2 blocks in the LGA's namesake village, and at a $3.5M to $8M market the heritage character is the value. On a contributory property the honest scope is restoration, and I would rather say that up front.
The ground is sandstone on the ridge, so footings are engineered to suit and rock is priced honestly. On the rare non-contributory or infill lot a sympathetic new home is achievable, but it has to answer a premium heritage streetscape exactly, and the tight block means the design earns every square metre. This is a tightly held, character-first suburb where the streetscape decides everything.
What I would check first in Woollahra: the heritage status of the lot, whether any new build is permissible, and the streetscape controls. 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 restoration or a rare new build.
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.

A near-total heritage village
The Federation and Victorian terraces and sandstone semis sit on 200 to 500m2 blocks under Conservation Areas covering virtually all streets.
At a $3.5M to $8M market the heritage character is the value, so on a contributory property the honest scope is restoration.
Rare new build only
The ground is sandstone on the ridge, so footings are engineered to suit and rock is priced honestly.
On the rare non-contributory lot a sympathetic new home must answer a premium heritage streetscape and earn every square metre.

How It Works
From First Call to Final Key
First meeting is about getting the brief right — number of bedrooms, lifestyle priorities, future-proofing, budget envelope, and what you'd hate to compromise on. We pair that with what your Woollahra block actually allows under R2 Low controls. Walk away with a realistic shortlist of design directions.
⏱Floor plan designed specifically for your Woollahra block — orientation, setbacks, views, slope, and how you actually live. 200–500m² blocks allow generous layouts. Multiple options, 3D renders, and finishes palette.
⏱We prepare everything needed for approval — engineering drawings sized for Class M ground conditions, BASIX certificate, geotech report, survey, and stormwater plan. All documentation handled in-house.
⏱Lodgement, RFI responses, condition negotiation, and CC issue — all managed in-house. Woollahra Municipal Council has typical processing windows we plan around so the build start date isn't a moving target. You see the lodgement reference, the assessment progress, and the issued certificate at each step.
⏱Construction runs 24–40 weeks depending on size and complexity. Your project manager provides weekly updates with photos and milestone tracking. Every stage is inspected before the next begins.
⏱Handover is a sign-off process, not a key drop. We walk every room with you, mark anything below standard, complete those items before settling, then issue OC, warranty, and documentation. You move in to a finished home, not a defects list to chase.
⏱Quality Promise
We build custom homes in Woollahra the way they should be built — one contractor, fixed price, accountability at every stage.
