A knockdown rebuild in Wheeler Heights is a solid elevated play — 1950s to 1970s brick on 500 to 800m² R2 blocks with sandstone topography, and Long Reef Headland and ocean views from the eastern fall. The aging stock rarely used the views, and a modern two-storey rebuild captures them.
The sandstone means rock excavation of $40,000 to $100,000 is typical, priced from a geotech bore.
The older homes usually carry asbestos given the 1950s-70s era, so a licensed strip-out and clearance certificate lead the demolition.
We rebuild fixed-price, licence HBL 487805C. Get our feasibility, with the rock costed, before you commit.
Buildana manages the complete knockdown rebuild process in Wheeler Heights — from site assessment and architectural design through to DA or CDC approval, demolition management, and fixed-price construction to handover. One builder, one contract, one new home.

Views the old stock wasted
Wheeler Heights' eastern fall carries Long Reef Headland and ocean views that the 1950s-70s single-level stock rarely used. A modern two-storey rebuild on these 500 to 800m² blocks captures the outlook, which is where the value is.
It is a quiet, elevated suburb where the rebuild maths works.
Rock and era asbestos
The sandstone means rock excavation of $40,000 to $100,000 is typical, priced from a real geotech bore. The 1950s-70s stock usually carries asbestos, so a licensed strip-out and clearance certificate lead the demolition.
Both are in the feasibility and the fixed price.

Quality Promise
Our Wheeler Heights knockdown rebuilds sequence demolition, slab, frame, lockup, handover. Fixed price locked before demolition starts.
How It Works
From First Call to Final Key
Everything that has to be right before we touch the ground. On-site assessment covers block measurements, soil conditions (Class Hawkesbury Sandstone), tree preservation checks, service locations, and asbestos identification on your 1950s–1970s + premium contemporary-era home. Clear feasibility report before you commit. Approval pathway gets locked at design stage based on FSR, height, setbacks, and any overlays. Most Wheeler Heights KDRs go CDC for speed; we use DA when the design wants to push past complying development limits. Either way, all documentation prepared and lodged in-house.
⏱The Wheeler Heights construction phase. Fixed price, programmed, supervised. Existing home demolished by licensed contractors. Asbestos removed and disposed of to EPA standards. Services disconnected, site cleared and prepped for construction. Buildana manages all permits and logistics. Construction starts the week demolition finishes — no idle site, no momentum lost. Slab pour usually within the first month, frame stand soon after. From frame stand to handover runs 6–9 months for a typical Wheeler Heights family home.
⏱The job isn't done when the site's clean; it's done when you have keys, certificates and warranties. Final inspection, Occupation Certificate, 6-year structural warranty, keys, and maintenance guide. Services reconnected. Your new home near Long Reef Headland + Long Reef Golf Club + Wheeler Heights Public School.
