Paddington Renovation Specialists
A home renovation in Paddington works the highest density of heritage terraces in Sydney — Victorian rows on 150 to 350m² blocks with cast-iron lacework, HCAs on virtually every street, and demolition simply off the table.
The craft is drawing light and space from narrow floorplates: conserved facades, opened rears, voids and skylights, courtyards designed to the centimetre. Done well, a Paddington terrace lives far larger than its footprint.
The Victorian fabric gets licensed lead-paint and asbestos handling, and party walls are assessed before structural moves.
We renovate fixed-price, licence HBL 487805C. Get our renovation scope, with the heritage position mapped, before you commit.
Buildana manages the complete home renovation process in Paddington — from initial consultation and design through to approvals (where required) and fixed-price construction to handover. Your home, modernised.

Larger than its footprint
A Paddington terrace renovated well lives far larger than its 150 to 350m² block suggests — light drawn through voids and skylights, the rear opened to a courtyard designed to the centimetre, the Victorian facade conserved exactly as the HCA demands.
Five Ways and William Street carry the village standing; the renovation makes the home worthy of it.
Victorian fabric, modern process
Lead paint and asbestos in the Victorian fabric are licensed processes, and the shared party walls are assessed before any structural move — terrace discipline that protects you and the neighbours.
All priced into the scope upfront.

How It Works
From First Call to Final Key
Everything that has to be right before we touch the ground. On-site meeting to walk through your Paddington home room by room. We identify what needs to change, what can stay, and where the budget delivers the most impact. Written scope and cost estimate within a week. Design includes selections for everything you'll touch: tapware, tiles, benchtops, splashbacks, joinery handles, paint colours, lighting, flooring. We lock these at design stage with cost-confirmed inclusions, not provisional sums that creep up during construction.
⏱The Paddington construction phase. Fixed price, programmed, supervised. If your renovation involves structural work, we lodge DA or CDC with Woollahra Municipal Council. Most kitchen and bathroom renovations don't require approval. Buildana advises on what needs lodgement and what doesn't. Trade sequencing is the difference between a 6-week renovation and a 12-week one. Demo, structural, plumbing rough-in, electrical rough-in, plaster, waterproofing, tiling, joinery install, fit-off, paint — each trade in and out cleanly, no waiting on the next sub.
⏱The job isn't done when the site's clean; it's done when you have keys, certificates and warranties. Final inspection, Occupation Certificate (if required), 6-year structural warranty on any structural work, and maintenance guide. Your Paddington home, transformed.
⏱Quality Promise
Buildana's Paddington renovation approach: assess the existing fabric, design the changes, price the whole job, deliver on contract.
