The friendly era on good blocks
Doonside's 1970s-90s stock is the renovation-friendly era — sound structure, dated interiors — and the generous 550 to 700m² blocks take a rear extension without strain. The station keeps the fundamentals working.
The scope goes into the layout, kitchen, bathrooms and the extension.
Clay and era check
The reactive clay has structural changes check the existing footings, with underpinning where needed, and the older 1970s fibro comes out under a licensed strip-out.
Both priced into the scope upfront.

How It Works
From First Call to Final Key
We assess your Doonside home — existing condition, renovation scope, structural requirements, and budget. You'll receive a clear overview of costs and timeline before committing.
⏱Design phase includes floor plan modifications, 3D kitchen and bathroom renders, material palettes, and electrical layout. You approve every detail before construction begins.
⏱For renovations that need DA or CDC, we lodge structural drawings, hydraulic if wet areas move, BASIX if envelope changes, and SEE if DA. For pure cosmetic work, no lodgement, no permit fees — straight to scheduling trades.
⏱Fixed-price renovation from demolition of existing fittings to final finish. Staged programme keeps parts of your home liveable. All trades coordinated by your project manager with weekly updates.
⏱Handover includes a defect walk-through where we mark any final touch-ups, complete them within a week, and re-inspect. The end-state is genuinely finished — not handed over with a list to chase trades back for.
⏱Quality Promise
Buildana's Doonside renovation approach: assess the existing fabric, design the changes, price the whole job, deliver on contract.
