Although it may not be the first choice for some, demolishing your current home and rebuilding it on the same site offers a fantastic opportunity for those looking to create their dream home in the neighborhood they know and love.
Choosing the knockdown and rebuild option provides several benefits, the most significant being the convenience of staying in the same location!
Many families are reluctant to move to a new area, as it may require changing schools for children, adjusting to new commutes, or finding new local spots to enjoy. Additionally, some individuals have developed strong emotional ties to their property and its surroundings. They may have spent years cultivating their outdoor spaces or even growing their own vegetable garden. These factors make knockdown rebuilds an attractive option for many Australian families.
This construction method is particularly popular along Australia’s eastern coastline, including major cities and regional areas, where there are plenty of opportunities for such projects.

This can vary significantly depending on the scope of your project. Factors such as the age of the home, whether dangerous materials such as asbestos are present, and the design features of your new home will all play a huge role in the final price.
While the timeline varies, a rough estimate can usually be placed at around 8-12 months. Elements of the build that can push this estimate out include inclement weather conditions, soil issues, design changes and more.
As part of building a sustainable home, you may feel as though you want to recycle certain parts of your home, such as fittings. As part of the design process for your new home, be sure to discuss the possibility of this with your new home consultant.
