A home extension in Neutral Bay is a chance to grow one of the village's scarcer detached homes. Most of the area is apartments, so the Federation and inter-war houses on 300 to 550m² blocks are worth keeping and improving — and the Hayes Street and Wycombe Road heritage areas keep their frontages while the work goes behind, designed to the metre.
On blocks this size the honest question is out or up, and I run both against your actual walls before you choose. The pre-war fabric gets lead paint and asbestos handled under licence, the old footings are assessed where the new wing ties in, and courtyard flow does a lot of the heavy lifting where land is tight.
At a $2.5M to $4.0M median, adding to the house beats trading out of the village-and-ferry life — the strip, the wharf and the walk to town are the whole point of being here.
We build these fixed-price, licence HBL 487805C. Get our extension scope, with the heritage position checked, before you commit.
Buildana manages the complete home extension process in Neutral Bay — 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 village pockets grow
Neutral Bay's detached homes are the village's scarce commodity, and a wing grows them — designed to the metre, behind conserved frontages on the HCA streets, with courtyard flow doing the heavy lifting.
The village-and-ferry lifestyle is exactly what building rather than moving preserves.
Fabric handled properly
Lead paint is handled under licence alongside asbestos on the pre-war fabric, done properly rather than worked around.
The old footings are assessed where the wing ties in, and all of it is priced into the job from the outset.
