A duplex in Eastgardens costs $750,000–$1,500,000+ for dual occupancy construction. Attached duplex from $750K, detached from $1M. Buildana manages feasibility, Bayside Council approvals, construction and subdivision under one fixed-price contract.
Duplex Builder in Eastgardens
Does a duplex work in Eastgardens? On the right block, yes. The suburb runs 400 to 700m² against Bayside's 600m² dual-occupancy minimum, so the answer lives at the top of the range. The post-war brick homes on the fuller lots near Westfield are the candidates. The 400m² villas are not. R3 mapping around the centre adds a second pathway for owners whose land falls under it.
Botany Sands under the suburb is the build consideration people skip. An elevated water table changes footing design and drainage, and pricing it properly at tender beats discovering it at excavation. Medians of $1.7M to $2.6M with a Westfield anchor make each side of a pair easy to value.
What I would check first on an Eastgardens block: whether it clears 600m² or falls under R3, the water table and footing design, and the frontage. Those set the feasibility.
We build these fixed-price, licence HBL 487805C. Measure your block, or better, let us do it against the DCP and give you a straight yes or no.
Buildana manages the full duplex development process in Eastgardens — from feasibility assessment and architectural design through to DA or CDC approval, and fixed-price construction to dual handover. One builder, one contract, two homes.

The answer lives at the top of the range
Eastgardens runs 400 to 700m² against Bayside's 600m² dual-occupancy minimum, so a duplex works on the right block, the post-war brick homes on the fuller lots near Westfield. The 400m² villas are not candidates.
R3 mapping around the centre adds a second pathway for owners whose land falls under it, so on some blocks the ceiling is higher than a duplex.
Sandy ground, priced at tender
Botany Sands under the suburb is the consideration people skip. An elevated water table changes footing design and drainage, and pricing it properly at tender beats discovering it at excavation.
At a $1.7M to $2.6M median with a Westfield anchor, each side of a pair is easy to value. Send us the address and we will check it against the DCP and give you a straight yes or no.

How It Works
From First Call to Final Key
Everything that has to be right before we touch the ground. Site visit, title search, and planning assessment for your Eastgardens block. We check lot dimensions against Bayside Council's minimum (600m² (Bayside DCP — R2 dual occupancy)), review overlays, drainage, access, and services. You get a clear yes/no on duplex feasibility plus estimated yield. Design has to satisfy four audiences at once: Bayside Council, the future buyer or tenant, the certifier, and you. Each pull in a different direction — our job is to land plans that work for all four. Solar access, privacy, parking, POS, FSR, all balanced.
⏱The Eastgardens construction phase. Fixed price, programmed, supervised. We lodge and chase your approval — DA through Bayside Council for most duplexes, or CDC where eligible. R2 Low zoning in Eastgardens. CC issued, conditions cleared, ready to build. Building both sides in parallel halves the loan interest holding cost vs sequential builds. Bulk material orders for cabinetry, tiles, fixtures cut unit cost. Single site setup, single supervisor, single insurance period — efficiency compounds across the whole programme.
⏱The job isn't done when the site's clean; it's done when you have keys, certificates and warranties. Strata or Torrens title subdivision completed. Separate OCs, individual metering, 6-year structural warranty per dwelling. Strong rental demand near Bus to Mascot (T8, 4 km).
