A home extension in East Killara costs $150,000–$600,000+. Rear extension from $150K, second-storey addition from $300K. Buildana manages design, Ku-ring-gai Council approvals, and construction under one fixed-price contract.
Second-Storey & Rear Additions in East Killara
A home extension in East Killara is decided by the slope. The bush-edge blocks drop away toward the valley, carrying both fall and reactive clay, so this is a job that starts with a geotech report rather than a set of sketches — get the ground wrong here and the prettiest wing in the world will crack.
With the engineering settled, the setting takes over. The 800 to 1,500m² blocks reward a wing turned toward the bush and golf-course outlooks that the 1950s to 1980s homes almost universally ignore, and the mid-century fabric gets licensed handling where the work touches it.
At a $2.8M to $4.2M median, a wing that finally uses the outlook beats the cost of upsizing comfortably — the view is already yours, the house just needs to face it.
We build these fixed-price, licence HBL 487805C. Get our extension scope, with the geotech done, before you commit.
Buildana manages the complete home extension process in East Killara — from design consultation and structural engineering through to DA or CDC approval, and fixed-price construction to handover. Extend your home without the stress.

Engineering before design
East Killara's fall and reactive clay mean the wing's junction is engineered off a geotech report before anything is drawn — the discipline that separates a clean addition from a cracked one.
With that settled, the outlook rewards a wing that faces the bush and the golf course.
Fabric handled properly
The mid-century fabric is checked for asbestos and stripped out under licence wherever it turns up.
That, and the engineered slope junction, are 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. East Killara homes from the 1950s–1980s 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
East Killara home extension specialists: we work on your home while you live in it, weatherproof the site nightly, finish clean.
