A home renovation in Crows Nest carries a question the 2024 Metro changed — inside the 400m TOD radius, density bonuses put development value under the workers' cottages that a renovation spend has to be weighed against, and most owners have not done that maths yet.
Beyond the radius, the Federation and inter-war cottages on tight 250 to 500m² blocks reward the classic village renovation: restored frontage, cleverly transformed interior, the Willoughby Road strip on foot.
Pre-war fabric adds lead paint to the asbestos check, and the century-old footings are assessed before structural work.
We renovate fixed-price, licence HBL 487805C. Get our renovation scope, with the TOD position checked, before you commit.
Buildana manages the complete home renovation process in Crows Nest — from initial consultation and design through to approvals (where required) and fixed-price construction to handover. Your home, modernised.

The Metro changed the maths
Inside 400m of Crows Nest Metro, the 2024 SEPP density bonuses can put more value under your cottage than in it — I check that before you commit renovation money that the land itself might outvote.
Beyond the radius, the village cottages renovate beautifully and the strip-on-foot lifestyle keeps demand strong.
Cottage fabric, tight blocks
The 250 to 500m² blocks reward design intelligence — light, layout, flow. Lead paint and asbestos in the pre-war fabric are licensed processes, and the old footings are assessed before structural work.
All priced into the scope upfront.

How It Works
From First Call to Final Key
We bring our trade leads (electrical, plumbing, structural) on the first visit when scope warrants it. They check what's behind the walls and the floor, which is where the real cost variation sits.
⏱We design the renovation around how you use your home — kitchen layout, bathroom placement, storage, lighting, and flow between rooms. Material and colour selections with our design consultant.
⏱The approval-or-not question hinges on whether walls move, openings change in external walls, wet areas relocate, or load-bearing structure is altered. Buildana checks the scope against North Sydney Council's exempt and complying development tests on day one — no late-stage approval surprises.
⏱Renovation works completed room by room where possible — kitchen, bathrooms, living areas. Staged approach minimises disruption.
⏱Renovation complete — final clean, defect inspection, and handover. Warranty covers all work (6-year structural, 2-year non-structural).
