Building in Allambie Heights
Allambie Heights was mostly built in the late 1940s and 1950s, on a ridge with Manly Dam Reserve to the south, Garigal National Park to the west and Allenby Park to the north. Many of the original houses are now being extended, lifted or replaced.
Much of the suburb is mapped as bushfire prone. That means a bushfire attack level (BAL) assessment, and construction to the matching standard: glazing, screens, decking and cladding all change as the BAL goes up.
How we workFour things that shape a Allambie Heights project
Bushfire rules
On bushfire-prone land, the BAL rating sets the construction standard. It affects windows, decks and cladding, so it belongs in the design and the price from day one.
Houses of the 1950s
Houses of this era can contain asbestos. We arrange testing and licensed removal before any demolition.
Room to grow
Larger blocks suit rear extensions and granny flats as well as a second storey. We will tell you which gives the best return.
Former Warringah controls
Allambie Heights was in Warringah, so the Warringah LEP and DCP apply until the new Northern Beaches plan commences.
Four things you get in writing.
A flexible pricing structure
A complete itemised price before the job starts, so you can see what each part of the job costs before you commit to any of it, and a pricing structure that suits you.
One site supervisor who is on your job
Not running six others. The person who answers your call was on site that morning.
A published programme and a weekly meeting
You always know where the project is up to, and what is happening next week.
A defects walk, warranties, manuals and a twelve month check
Handover is a process with a date on it, not the day the last trade drives away.

Google review · Sydney
“I have had the best experience renovating and adding to a property with a team of very professional, skilful, communicative and courteous tradies led by Jared, the builder, who has been a pleasure to work with and who is a great people person and manager. … This organisation provides all the detailed steps needed from beginning, throughout the project and including completion. As the owner I have felt welcomed and involved and a part of the team all through the project. As some decisions needed to be made along the way, we discussed options and the outcomes have very much proven to be successful and the correct decisions. … Communication and openness have been fostered by the leadership team of Jared and Angus (foreman), and appreciated by everyone involved including me. I very highly recommend this leadership and team — they will not disappoint.”

“Jared has finished refreshing my fifty year old unit at Narrabeen. His communication was top notch through the entire process. He made it very clear what I needed to do on my end as the customer and he performed very high quality work every step of the way. Couldn't be happier with how everything turned out.”

Is my Allambie Heights property bushfire prone?
Much of the suburb is mapped as bushfire prone land. Your planning certificate will say. If it is, a bushfire attack level (BAL) assessment sets the construction standard for the new work.
How does a BAL rating affect my renovation cost?
Higher BAL ratings need tougher glazing, ember screens and non-combustible materials in exposed areas. We get the BAL assessed early so the cost is in the itemised price, not a surprise.
Can I build a granny flat in Allambie Heights?
On many blocks, yes. Lot size, access and bushfire rules all matter. We check the site and the approval route before design.
Do you deal with asbestos?
We arrange testing and, where needed, removal by a licensed contractor before demolition starts. It is common in houses of this era.
