Extending Homes in Picnic Point
A home extension in Picnic Point gets to be ambitious, because the blocks here are among the biggest on the corridor — 600 to 1,000m² in a leafy waterfront setting. That much land buys you design freedom most suburbs cannot: a full-width wing, generous alfresco, glazing turned to the river and the green, and a yard that is still generous when it is done. Most of these homes badly under-use what they sit on.
On the lower waterfront blocks the flood mapping comes first, because it sets your floor levels and there is no point drawing around it. The 1960s to 1980s brick carries the wing cleanly, and the footings are engineered to your ground.
At a $1.2M to $1.5M median, extending holds a waterfront setting that moving could almost never replace. The land is the luxury, and the wing is how you finally use it.
We build these fixed-price, licence HBL 487805C. Get our extension scope, with the flood mapping checked, before you commit.
Buildana manages the complete home extension process in Picnic 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.

The land is the luxury
The 600 to 1,000m² blocks give the design almost total freedom — a full-width wing with living, alfresco and glazing opened to the river and green, and plenty of yard left over.
That waterfront setting is exactly why building beats moving here; you cannot buy this position back easily once it is gone.
Flood and fabric handled
On the lower waterfront blocks the flood mapping is checked before floor levels are set, so the design works with it from the start.
The 1960s to 1980s fabric gets its era check, and both that and the flood work sit inside the fixed price from the outset.

How It Works
From First Call to Final Key
Walk through your Picnic Point home with our designer and structural engineer. We measure, photograph, and check the bones — footings, frame condition, roof structure.
⏱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.
⏱Most rear extensions in Picnic Point qualify for CDC — cleaner, faster, no neighbour notification. Second-storey additions typically need DA through Canterbury-Bankstown Council because of overshadowing and privacy assessments.
⏱Extension built from new footings to completion — connecting structurally to your existing home. Class M soil design managed.
⏱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.
⏱Quality Promise
Picnic Point home extension specialists: we work on your home while you live in it, weatherproof the site nightly, finish clean.
