Custom Homes in St Leonards
Edilco is a trusted luxury custom home builder servicing St Leonards. We specialise in bespoke architectural designs, premium knockdown rebuilds, and complex site constructions. Navigating the specific Local Environmental Plan (LEP) and Development Control Plan (DCP) of Willoughby City Council requires deep local expertise. We engineer structural solutions tailored to your land's unique constraints to ensure a smooth DA or CDC approval process.
Building in St Leonards FAQs
Do I need a DA or CDC to build in St Leonards?
This depends entirely on your block. If your St Leonards property is clear of heritage and severe bushfire overlays, a Complying Development Certificate (CDC) may be possible. However, bespoke custom homes often require a Development Application (DA). See our DA vs CDC Guide.
How do you handle sloping blocks in St Leonards?
Sloping blocks require specialised engineering. We use advanced excavation techniques and reinforced concrete retaining walls to maximize land use while ensuring structural integrity. Learn more in our Guide to Building on Steep Sloping Blocks.
What is the DA timeline for Willoughby City Council?
Approval times vary, but we have extensive experience with Willoughby City Council and can often streamline the process by ensuring all architectural documentation meets their specific DCP requirements upfront. View our NSW Council Approvals Guide.
Do you work with sandstone/heritage features common in St Leonards?
Yes, we have a dedicated team for heritage restoration, including stonemasonry and slate roofing, ensuring your renovation respects the local character. See our Heritage Restoration Guide.
