Our Knock Down Rebuild Process

Our tried-and-true building process has seen many happy customers move into their homes on settlement day. We take care of everything that your local council will require, from the initial site assessment to the specifics of the building contract.

Read on for more information about our Vision Homes building process.

A knock down rebuild is a process just like any build. Once all the legalities are taken care of, a demo crew will be engaged to destroy your old home to make way for the new. Once all rubble has been cleared, we will start our build process, beginning with the slab stage, moving onto the framing, brickwork, and fix-out with final trimmings. Before you know it, your home will almost be completed in the final stage, and you can collect your keys and move your furniture in to complete your house.

Frequently Asked Questions

Read through some of the frequently asked questions by our past clients.

If you're planning a large-scale renovation of your home, a knockdown rebuild may be a cheaper alternative. This is especially true when you're working with an unsuitable floor plan, or you're looking to change the location of certain rooms, such as kitchens or bathrooms.

Starting fresh with new piping, plumbing, and electrics can be cheaper than working around the old ones, and you're less likely to encounter unexpected and expensive surprises, such as termites, wood rot or structural damage.

The bigger the structural changes you have in mind, the simpler, quicker, and cheaper it is to knock the property down and start fresh with top-of-the-line construction and modern engineering.

Building a home becomes much more feasible budget-wise without the expense of land and real estate fees. However, you must consider the cost of demolition and the expense of building approvals for your new home.

If your site would benefit from being levelled with earthworks with retaining walls added, or if it needs updated drainage and new landscaping, these costs must also be factored into the overall cost.

The price to rebuild a home after a knockdown will vary depending on the size and style of your new home and the construction materials you select.

The fees for a demolition contractor to remove an existing house vary depending on its size, location, what it's made of and how accessible your block is. It will also depend on the method used to demolish it.

If your home contains asbestos, which up to a third of homes in Australia do, this can add to the price of demolition. However, the cost is normally between $20,000 and $40,000 to demolish a house.

One of the most convenient things about the knock down rebuild process with Vision Homes is that we can take care of all the council approvals for you!

We provide you with a site appraisal to determine if your project meets council requirements and is viable, looking at site information such as block size and requirements for different council areas. We can even arrange building approvals for you. From knocking down your existing property to the construction process, home building with Vision Homes can take the stress out of creating your new family home.

A knockdown rebuild is worth it for those who love their land but not their home or want to make huge changes to their home. A knockdown and rebuild is simpler than you may think and comes with huge benefits.

A new home is easier to maintain, is often more energy efficient, and, therefore, cheaper to run.
You can change your home's floor plan and orientation to make it work.
You get the opportunity to embrace everything you love about your block. For example, building a new two-storey home to capitalise on views of the city skyline or increase natural light.
Land in established suburbs can be expensive and hard to find, but a knockdown rebuild means you can stay in the neighbourhood you love.
Building a new home will increase your resale value should you choose to sell and move on.
