Renovating Homes in Elanora Heights
A home renovation in Elanora Heights works the elevation above Narrabeen Lagoon — 1960s-90s brick on 600 to 1,200m² blocks where the eastern fall carries lagoon and ocean views many homes never captured.
The renovation chases that outlook — reworked living levels, generous glazing — with BAL ratings on the bushland-fringe lots and deep rock priced from the geotech.
The older fabric gets its asbestos check first.

The outlook above the lagoon
Elanora Heights' eastern fall looks over Narrabeen Lagoon to the ocean — and the 1960s-90s stock rarely uses it. The renovation reworks the living levels toward the view, transforming what the block was always worth.
The 600 to 1,200m² blocks give the designs generous room.
BAL, rock and era
BAL ratings shape materials on the bushland-fringe lots backing the catchment and Garigal, deep rock is priced from the geotech, and the older fabric gets the asbestos check.
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 Northern Beaches 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).
⏱Quality Promise
Buildana's Elanora Heights renovation approach: assess the existing fabric, design the changes, price the whole job, deliver on contract.
