A home extension in Vaucluse costs $150,000–$600,000+. Rear extension from $150K, second-storey addition from $300K. Buildana manages design, Woollahra Municipal Council approvals, and construction under one fixed-price contract.
Vaucluse Home Extensions — Fixed Price
A home extension in Vaucluse is estate work between two waters. The 1880s to 1940s mansions sit on 500 to 2,500m² blocks with the harbour on one side and the ocean not far on the other, so the outlook drives every design decision — the wing exists to open the living toward whichever water the block commands.
On land and at values like these the work is conservation-grade: the heritage position leads, the falls are engineered off a proper geotech, and the oldest fabric gets licensed lead and asbestos handling throughout.
At a $5M to $30M-plus median, exactness is the entry fee — but the estate blocks are the reward, giving the wing the room to be genuinely magnificent rather than merely large.
We build these fixed-price, licence HBL 487805C. Get our extension scope, with heritage and fall resolved, before you commit.

Estate scale, exact standard
Vaucluse's estate blocks let the wing be magnificent — whole living zones opened to the harbour or the ocean — and the values demand it be exact: conserved fabric, engineered structure, finishes to the address.
The heritage position is mapped before anything is drawn.
Falls and fabric handled
The falls are engineered off a proper geotech rather than assumed.
Lead paint joins asbestos in the licensed processes on the oldest fabric, all 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. Vaucluse homes from the 1880s–1940s heritage mansions 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
Buildana's Vaucluse home extension process: assess the existing structure, design the addition, approve, build. Fixed price throughout.
