Quick Answer

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

Modernising Rozelle Homes

A home renovation in Rozelle works the peninsula base as the Bays West era begins — Victorian terraces and sandstone cottages on 100 to 350m² blocks, with HCAs over most streets and the foreshore masterplan set to reshape the district around them.

The renovation conserves the fabric and works the tight blocks with craft — light, levels and Iron Cove glimpses — positioned ahead of a precinct transformation that will lift everything established.

The 1850s-1920s fabric gets licensed lead-paint and asbestos handling, and party walls and footings are assessed first.

Ahead of Bays West

Rozelle's foreshore will be reshaped by the Bays West masterplan over the coming decades — and the established terrace streets stand to gain from all of it. A renovation done now conserves the fabric and positions ahead of the lift.

The craft is peninsula standard: light, precision, and water glimpses on the falling streets.

Oldest fabric, exacting process

The 1850s-onward fabric carries lead and asbestos — licensed processes both — with party walls and original footings assessed before structural moves.

All priced into the scope upfront.

How It Works

From First Call to Final Key

Renovation consultations look at hidden issues as much as visible ones — wiring age, plumbing condition, waterproofing in wet areas, asbestos likelihood for 1850s–1920s-era stock. Surface-level scoping leads to mid-job surprises; we go deeper at consultation.

Renovation design covers layout changes, material selections, fixture specifications, and integration with existing structure. Kitchen, bathroom, living areas — your brief drives the design.

We check whether your renovation scope triggers Inner West Council approval requirements. If it does, we prepare and lodge all documentation. If not, we move straight to construction.

Construction stage is where most renovation jobs blow out, because trades stop showing up or the scope grows. Buildana protects against both: trades on dedicated programmes, scope frozen at contract with a written variation process for any changes.

Walk through your renovated home. Defect-free inspection, warranty documentation, appliance manuals, and maintenance guide provided. OC issued if structural work was involved.

Quality Promise

Our Rozelle home renovations respect what's worth keeping and replace what isn't. Structural assessment first, staged build second.
