A home extension in Castle Cove costs $150,000–$600,000+. Rear extension from $150K, second-storey addition from $300K. Buildana manages design, Willoughby City Council approvals, and construction under one fixed-price contract.
Castle Cove Home Extensions — Fixed Price
A home extension in Castle Cove is a ridge job. The blocks run 700 to 1,200m² with real slope on Middle Harbour, and the frustrating thing is how many of the 1960s to 1990s homes here sit with their backs to the bush and water. The wing worth building is the one that finally turns the home toward that outlook.
Slope means engineering enters early — footings and retaining are designed properly for the fall rather than assumed. The streets that back onto Garigal carry BAL ratings, so those external materials are specified from the start, and the 1960s fabric gets its asbestos check.
At a $3.0M to $4.5M median, a wing that captures the outlook does not just add space, it changes what the home is worth — the view is the asset, and most of these houses are ignoring it.
We build these fixed-price, licence HBL 487805C. Get our extension scope, with the slope engineered, before you commit.
Buildana manages the complete home extension process in Castle Cove — from design consultation and structural engineering through to DA or CDC approval, and fixed-price construction to handover. Extend your home without the stress.

The ridge rewards the wing
Castle Cove's 1960s to 1990s homes rarely exploit the ridge, and the wing changes that — living opened toward the bush and water, glazing that earns the outlook, engineered properly on the sloping lots.
The 700 to 1,200m² blocks give the design real room to work.
Slope, BAL and fabric
The slope brings engineering in early, and the Garigal-backing streets get BAL-rated materials specified from the start.
The 1960s fabric gets its asbestos check, all priced into the job from the outset.

How It Works
From First Call to Final Key
The first job on an extension is finding out what you're extending onto. Castle Cove homes from the 1960s–1990s were built to different standards — we open walls, check footings, verify load paths. The existing house has to carry the new work.
⏱Design follows the existing roof. A bad extension looks like a bolt-on; a good one reads as original. Matched brickwork or contrasting render (whichever the architecture calls for), tied-in roofline, continuous flooring where it should be continuous.
⏱Construction happens while you live in the house. That means weatherproofing every night, staging the works so kitchens and bathrooms don't disappear on the same week, and keeping the site clean of debris that doesn't belong in a family home.
⏱Finish is seamless. Paint match, floor match, roofline match, brick match where possible. The only way to tell the extension is new is the date on the plans.
⏱Quality Promise
Every Buildana home extension in Castle Cove is delivered under a fixed-price contract — from design consultation through to defect-free handover.
