Planning a Renovation or New Build?
Embarking on a major building project in New South Wales requires a clear understanding of the regulatory landscape and the economic factors influencing current building construction costs per square metre. One of the first decisions you will face is choosing between a Development Application (DA) through Burwood Council or a Complying Development Certificate (CDC) via a private certifier. While a CDC can significantly accelerate the approval timeline, your project must strictly adhere to universal state environmental planning policies. A DA, conversely, offers greater design flexibility but involves a comprehensive council assessment process that considers local neighborhood character and objections.
PROJECT APPROVAL PATHWAYS
DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION ( DA )
Assessed by Local Council
Offers greater design compromise
Subject to neighbor notification
Longer processing timelines
COMPLYING DEVELOPMENT CERTIFICATE (CDC)
Assessed by Private Certifier
Requires strict adherence to SEPP
No neighbor notification period
Faster, predictable approval path

FAQs
What are the current building construction costs per square metre in Sydney?
1
Residential building construction costs per square metre in Sydney generally range from $2,500 to $5,500+ for custom architectural homes. The final figure depends heavily on site access, sloping terrain, structural complexity, and the level of internal finishes specified.
How long does a full house renovation and rear extension typically take?
2
A comprehensive full house renovation and major structural extension usually takes between 6 to 12 months from excavation to handover. Timelines vary depending on weather conditions, structural engineering requirements, and the scale of the earthworks involved.
Does a kitchen renovation always increase property value?
3
Yes, a modern, high-functioning kitchen is widely considered the best return on investment for homeowners, often adding significantly more to the sale price than the cost of the renovation itself.
Can I build a second storey addition under a Complying Development Certificate (CDC)?
4
Yes, a second storey addition can be approved via a CDC, provided the design strictly complies with all State Environmental Planning Policy (SEPP) criteria. This includes specific limitations on building height, boundary setbacks, floor space ratios, and privacy screening. If the property is located within a heritage conservation zone, a full Development Application (DA) via local council is generally required.
What is the difference between a custom built home cost and a project home price?
5
A project home relies on highly standardized, repetitive blueprints and bulk-purchased materials, offering limited layout flexibility. A custom built home cost reflects a completely bespoke architectural design, individual engineering solutions for your specific block, premium materials, and superior craftsmanship tailored to your exact lifestyle and long-term property goals.
We minimize variations through comprehensive pre-construction site investigations, intrusive scanning where possible, and thorough planning. If an unforeseen issue arises (such as old hidden structural decay or non-compliant historical plumbing), we provide a fully transparent, costed variation report detailing the issue, solution options, and exact pricing before any rectification work begins.
How do you handle unexpected costs or variations during a renovation?
6
Which home renovations provide the best return on investment (ROI) in Burwood Heights?
7
Kitchen renovations, luxury bathroom upgrades, and second-storey or rear open-plan living extensions yield the highest capital appreciation. These upgrades substantially increase a property's appeal to buyers in the premium Sydney market by expanding usable square meterage and improving functional flow.
