A home renovation in Gladesville costs $100,000–$500,000+. Kitchen from $30K, bathroom from $20K, full renovation from $150K. Buildana manages design, Hunters Hill Council approvals (where required), and construction under one fixed-price contract.
Gladesville Home Renovations
A home renovation in Gladesville works the Victoria Road village — Federation cottages, Californian Bungalows and 1960s-90s brick on 400 to 700m² blocks, with HCAs on several side streets and R3 on the Victoria Road precinct checked before big spends.
The approach reads the era: conserved Bungalow and Federation frontages on the heritage streets, free modernisation on the later brick. The village amenity carries the finished value.
The pre-war fabric adds lead paint to the asbestos check, and the ground — shale on the ridge, sandstone toward the river — is read to the site.
We renovate fixed-price, licence HBL 487805C. Get our renovation scope, with heritage and zoning checked, before you commit.

Read by era, priced by honesty
Gladesville splits cleanly — Federation and Bungalow streets conserve-and-extend under the HCAs, the 1960s-90s brick opens freely, and the Victoria Road R3 precinct gets the zoning check before any big renovation spend.
The village amenity keeps demand for the finished home steady.
Fabric and ground to the site
Lead paint joins asbestos on the pre-war fabric, licensed processes both, and the ground is read to the site — shale ridge or sandstone fall.
All priced into the scope upfront.

How It Works
From First Call to Final Key
A Gladesville renovation starts with what's worth keeping. Character floorboards, structural brickwork, original joinery — if it earns its place, it stays. Everything else gets a hard look.
⏱Design is pragmatic. Removing the right wall to open a kitchen, upgrading the bathroom to function properly, fixing the laundry that was an afterthought in 1975. Structural engineer signs off before anything load-bearing moves.
⏱Construction runs in stages so you can live in the house for parts of it. Wet areas and kitchens get a clear programme — three weeks without a kitchen is normal; three months is someone else's job.
⏱Handover is clean. New work tied into old work with matched finishes, defects fixed before you move back into the finished zones, warranty on all new work.
