Quick Answer

A home renovation in Panania costs $100,000–$500,000+. Kitchen from $30K, bathroom from $20K, full renovation from $150K. Buildana manages design, Canterbury-Bankstown Council approvals (where required), and construction under one fixed-price contract.

Modernising Panania Homes

A home renovation in Panania works quiet, family-first streets — 1950s-70s homes on well-sized blocks near the station, where the honest brick-versus-fibro read decides between modernising and rebuilding.

Where it proceeds, the renovation opens the closed-in plan, renews the kitchen and bathrooms, and adds a rear extension.

The post-war fabric carries asbestos, cleared under a licensed strip-out, and the Class M clay's footings are read before structural change.

Family streets that reward the work

Panania's quiet streets and station access make it a family keeper, and the 1950s-70s stock rewards modernising where the bones are brick — opened plan, renewed wet areas, rear extension on the well-sized blocks.

Tired fibro gets the honest rebuild comparison, because on this era the maths can go either way.

Asbestos and clay, handled

The post-war fabric carries asbestos, taken out under a licensed strip-out, and the Class M clay is read before structural change.

Both priced into the scope upfront.

How It Works

From First Call to Final Key

A Panania 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.

Quality Promise
