A home extension in Wakeley costs $150,000–$600,000+. Rear extension from $150K, second-storey addition from $300K. Buildana manages design, Fairfield City Council approvals, and construction under one fixed-price contract.
Wakeley Home Extensions & Additions
Some suburbs make you fight for an extension; Wakeley practically invites one. Blocks of 450 to 700m² under the 1970s to 1980s housing stock leave clear room for a rear home extension, the R2 zoning is straightforward, and there are no heritage overlays or exotic soil regimes standing between you and a bigger house. At a $900K to $1.15M median, it is one of the cleanest value builds in the Fairfield LGA.
The typical project here adds a family room and fourth bedroom across the back of a brick veneer home. This era extends at ground level neatly, and going up is rarely worth the steel. Buildana is based in Fairfield, so Wakeley jobs are home-turf work for us: short trips, known council, no learning curve.
What I would check first on your Wakeley house: just the rear yard depth and the brick veneer frame, since neither heritage nor difficult soil complicates it here. That makes it a clean scope.

How It Works
From First Call to Final Key
Everything that has to be right before we touch the ground. Walk through your Wakeley 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 Wakeley construction phase. Fixed price, programmed, supervised. Most rear extensions in Wakeley qualify for CDC — cleaner, faster, no neighbour notification. Second-storey additions typically need DA through Fairfield City 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–H 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.
