Extending Homes in Hurstville
A home extension in Hurstville separates the CBD from the streets — the R3/R4 core carries redevelopment value the wing is checked against, while the heritage and brick-veneer streets beyond extend on the era read.
The pre-war fabric gets licensed handling, the reactive pockets get engineered junctions, and the rail-and-CBD amenity keeps demand deep.
At the $1.5M to $2.4M typical, the wing beats the friction of upsizing in a major centre.
We build these fixed-price, licence HBL 487805C. Get our extension scope, with the zoning checked, before you commit.
Buildana manages the complete home extension process in Hurstville — from design consultation and structural engineering through to DA or CDC approval, and fixed-price construction to handover. Extend your home without the stress.

Core checked, streets extend
Hurstville's CBD is repricing in towers — blocks in the R3/R4 footprint get the value check before any wing. The heritage and brick streets beyond extend confidently.
The major-centre amenity keeps the finished homes in deep demand.
Fabric and ground handled
Lead paint joins asbestos on the pre-war fabric — licensed processes both — and the reactive pockets get engineered junctions.
The licensed strip-out and the engineered junctions both sit in the quote up front.

How It Works
From First Call to Final Key
Everything that has to be right before we touch the ground. Extension feasibility comes down to two things: what the existing structure can carry, and what Georges River Council will let you build. We assess both at the consultation — no point designing for a second storey if the slab can't take the load. Extension designed to integrate with your existing Hurstville home — matching roof lines, materials, and flow between old and new sections. Floor plans, elevations, and 3D renders.
⏱The Hurstville construction phase. Fixed price, programmed, supervised. All approval documentation prepared: structural drawings, BASIX, shadow analysis, stormwater, and statement of environmental effects (if DA). Lodged and managed through to Construction Certificate. Extension construction takes 3–6 months on average. Footings excavated and poured to match existing depth on Class M soil, frame stand, roof tie-in (most weather-critical phase), lock-up, then internal fit-out at the same standard as the existing house.
⏱The job isn't done when the site's clean; it's done when you have keys, certificates and warranties. Defect-free inspection, OC issued, 6-year warranty on all new work. Junction between old and new sections waterproofed and warranted. Maintenance guide covers care of new and existing areas.
