Licensed Home Extension Builder Cremorne Point
NSW licensed extension specialist. Cremorne Point 2090 extensions on 1900s–1940s heritage + 1960s+ apartments-era homes require structural sign-off, Class M footings, and matched connection — we engineer and document properly.
Quick Answer
A home extension in Cremorne Point costs $150,000–$600,000+. Rear extension from $150K, second-storey addition from $300K. Buildana manages design, North Sydney Council approvals, and construction under one fixed-price contract.
Second-Storey & Rear Additions in Cremorne Point
A home extension in Cremorne Point is peninsula work at the top of the market. Federation homes sit under heavy heritage on 350 to 700m² blocks that fall away to the harbour, so this is a job where the conservation standard and the engineering down the slope matter more than the square metres you add.
The heritage position leads every decision here — nothing gets drawn before it is mapped. Engineered slabs and retaining are standard on the fall rather than exceptional, and the pre-war fabric has lead paint and asbestos dealt with under licence.
At a $3.5M to $8.0M median, the only wing worth building is an exact one — the peninsula's standing does not forgive a compromise, and the harbour is right there to be drawn into the new living.
We build these fixed-price, licence HBL 487805C. Get our extension scope, with heritage and fall resolved, before you commit.
Buildana manages the complete home extension process in Cremorne Point — from design consultation and structural engineering through to DA or CDC approval, and fixed-price construction to handover. Extend your home without the stress.

Exact, or not at all
Cremorne Point's values and heritage controls demand the wing be exact — conservation-standard fabric work, engineered structure down the fall, and the harbour drawn into the new living.
The peninsula's standing rewards precisely that discipline and punishes shortcuts.
Fall and fabric handled
Engineered slabs and retaining are standard on the fall, designed and priced before the first sketch.
Lead paint rides with asbestos through the licensed pre-war handling, all priced into the job from the outset.

How It Works
From First Call to Final Key
Everything that has to be right before we touch the ground. We assess your Cremorne Point home — existing structure, block size (350–700m²), R3 Medium zoning, setbacks, FSR, and your space requirements. You'll know what's achievable before spending on detailed design. Design phase covers the extension layout, junction with existing structure, window and door placement, and external finish to match your Cremorne Point home's streetscape. Multiple design options presented.
⏱The Cremorne Point construction phase. Fixed price, programmed, supervised. Documentation pack covers structural engineering for the new footings sized to match existing depths on Class M soil, BASIX 2025 compliance, shadow diagrams to neighbours' POS, hydraulic, and detailed sections through the wall-tie junction. Approval-grade, not concept-grade. Fixed-price construction of your extension. New footings engineered for Class M soil, structural connection to existing home, frame, fit-out, and finishes. Weekly updates from your project manager.
⏱The job isn't done when the site's clean; it's done when you have keys, certificates and warranties. Handover documentation covers the new work specifically — OC for the extension, structural certs, BASIX certificate updates, and warranty for the new section plus the junction detailing. Existing house remains under whatever warranty position applied before.
⏱Quality Promise
Buildana's Cremorne Point home extension process: assess the existing structure, design the addition, approve, build. Fixed price throughout.
