Custom home builders
in Sandringham
Sandringham is a coastal suburb with inland rules. Salt air, established gardens, and neighbourhood character controls that shape what your new home is allowed to look like from the street.
Coastal build,
Bayside planning
Sandringham sits within Bayside City Council, where the Neighbourhood Character Review identified 27 distinct character precincts and roughly 83% of residential land is Neighbourhood Residential Zone — capped at nine metres and two storeys. Add proximity to the bay, and material selection stops being a style question and becomes a durability one. Both need to be settled before design, not after.
Knockdown Rebuilds
Sandringham's older housing stock sits on well-proportioned blocks that suit a knockdown rebuild. We handle demolition, planning, design and construction as one fixed-price process.
Bayside Council Experience
Bayside's Neighbourhood Character Review identified 27 character precincts across the municipality. We check which one your Sandringham block sits in — and what it permits — before design starts.
Fixed Price Contracts
Budget certainty from the start. You know what your Sandringham build costs before the first sod is turned — no variations invented halfway through.
One Builder Throughout
Tim from first conversation to handover. No hand-offs, no project managers you've never met. One person accountable for your build.
We haven't completed a Sandringham build yet. We work in Black Rock and Highett either side of it, and we start in Hampton in October 2026.
That's the honest position. What we do bring is coastal building experience that's directly relevant here — our completed homes in Seaford and Bonbeach sit the same distance from the water, and we've learned what salt air does to the wrong specification.

Common questions
Straight answers about building here — including the parts other builders leave out.
Do you build in Sandringham?
Yes. Crowncon Homes builds custom homes and knockdown rebuilds in Sandringham and across Bayside. We're straight about the fact we have no completed Sandringham project yet — we build either side of it in Black Rock and Highett, and start on site in nearby Hampton in October 2026.
What does a custom home in Sandringham cost?
Most Crowncon builds across Bayside land between $800,000 and $1.2 million. Sandringham typically sits toward the upper half of that range once neighbourhood character requirements and coastal-appropriate materials are accounted for.
Does being near the bay change how you build?
Yes. Salt air is hard on fixings, frames and finishes. Specifying marine-grade fixings, the right cladding and appropriate glazing costs more at selection and far less over twenty years. We've built close to the water in Seaford and Bonbeach and specify accordingly.
Do I need a planning permit to rebuild in Sandringham?
It depends on your precinct. Bayside's Neighbourhood Character Review identified 27 character precincts across the municipality, each with its own controls, and around 83% of residential land is Neighbourhood Residential Zone. We check your address against the planning scheme before any design work begins.
