Heritage Approvals

Builder Northern Beaches Frequently Asked Questions
How much do builder quotes vary in Northern Beaches?
Builder quotes for similar work commonly vary 30–50% across the LGA. Renovation costs are typically $3,500–$6,500 per sqm for mid-range work, with the upper end driven by heritage requirements, BAL compliance, sloped sites (Whale Beach, Bilgola, Bayview), and complex strata approvals.
What insurance should my Northern Beaches builder have?
For NSW residential work over $20,000, builders must hold Home Building Compensation (HBC) insurance and provide a certificate before any payment. Public liability of at least $20M is standard. Check the certificate is current and matches the licence number on the quote.
