A home extension in Eastwood costs $150,000–$600,000+. Rear extension from $150K, second-storey addition from $300K. Buildana manages design, City of Ryde Council approvals, and construction under one fixed-price contract.
Second-Storey & Rear Additions in Eastwood
Selling in Eastwood to buy bigger in Eastwood costs you somewhere north of $100K in stamp duty and agent fees before you gain a single room — the median runs $2.1M–$3.0M. A home extension keeps that money in the building. The suburb's 550–900m² blocks are among the more generous this close to a rail line, which leaves most owners with both directions open: rear extension into the yard, or a first floor above.
Which one depends on when your house was built. Eastwood's stock spans Federation through to the 1970s, and each era carries load differently — early double brick takes a storey well, post-war veneer wants steel first. Heritage Conservation Area pockets around Brush Farm add scrutiny to street-visible changes but leave rear work largely free. Bring us your address and we'll map the constraints before you spend on design.
Buildana manages the complete home extension process in Eastwood — from design consultation and structural engineering through to DA or CDC approval, and fixed-price construction to handover. Extend your home without the stress.

Keep the $100K in the building
Eastwood's $2.1M to $3.0M median makes moving brutally expensive — north of $100K in friction before a single room — while the 550 to 900m² blocks leave both directions open: rear wing into the yard, or a first floor above.
The rail-side generosity of these blocks is rare, and the wing spends it well.
The era decides the direction
Early double brick takes a storey well; post-war veneer wants steel first — and the Brush Farm HCA pockets add scrutiny to street-visible changes while leaving rear work largely free.
The constraints are mapped before you spend on design.

How It Works
From First Call to Final Key
Everything that has to be right before we touch the ground. Walk through your Eastwood home with our designer and structural engineer. We measure, photograph, and check the bones — footings, frame condition, roof structure. The cost estimate that follows is grounded in what we found, not a generic per-m² number. Our designer works with your existing home's layout — connecting new living areas to existing rooms, matching materials and roof pitch, and maximising natural light. You approve floor plans and 3D renders before we proceed.
⏱The Eastwood construction phase. Fixed price, programmed, supervised. Most rear extensions in Eastwood qualify for CDC — cleaner, faster, no neighbour notification. Second-storey additions typically need DA through City of Ryde Council because of overshadowing and privacy assessments. We choose based on your design, not on what's easier to lodge. Extension built from new footings to completion — connecting structurally to your existing home. Class M soil design managed. Temporary weatherproofing maintains liveability where possible.
⏱The job isn't done when the site's clean; it's done when you have keys, certificates and warranties. Walk through the completed extension, confirm finishes, collect your OC. Six-year structural warranty covers all new work including the junction with your existing home. Maintenance guide provided.
⏱Quality Promise
Buildana's Eastwood home extension process: assess the existing structure, design the addition, approve, build. Fixed price throughout.
