Quick Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I consider a knockdown and rebuild over a major renovation?

A knockdown and rebuild offers complete design freedom, allowing you to create a home perfectly tailored to your needs and lifestyle without the limitations of an existing structure. You benefit from modern construction standards, superior energy efficiency, and a fresh start, often leading to a more cost-effective outcome and higher property value than extensive renovations on an old home.

Most residential blocks are suitable for a knockdown and rebuild. Our team will conduct a thorough site assessment to consider factors like block size, orientation, easements, and any council overlays. We’ll advise you on the best approach to maximise your block’s potential and ensure your proposed new home fits perfectly within local regulations.

Our process is designed to be seamless and stress-free. It typically involves initial consultation and feasibility assessment, custom design and architectural planning, council approvals (including demolition and building permits), demolition of the existing structure, and then the full construction of your new home. We manage every step, providing clear communication throughout.

The timeline for a knockdown and rebuild can vary based on design complexity, site conditions, and council approval times. Generally, once permits are secured, the demolition and construction phase can take anywhere from 9 to 18 months. We provide a detailed project schedule at the outset and keep you fully informed of progress.

Yes, you will need to vacate your existing home for the duration of a knockdown and rebuild project, as the old structure will be demolished before construction of your new home begins. This ensures safety and allows for efficient construction, although it does require planning for temporary accommodation.
