Stay where you love.
Build what you want.
A knockdown rebuild is a great opportunity to keep enjoying where you live, with the benefit of a brand-new home designed specifically to suit your needs. You stay in your established suburb and skip the costs of moving.
- Keep your suburb, schools and neighbours
- A brand-new home designed for your block
- One builder managing the whole process
Moving house is expensive.
Rebuilding often isn't.
Buying elsewhere sends a big slice of your budget into costs that add nothing to your home. Rebuild and you skip them, and put that money into the build instead.
Keep your location. Put your budget where it counts, into the home.
Six simple steps to your rebuild
The idea of a knockdown and rebuild may seem overwhelming. It isn't. Here is how we take you from your existing block to a brand-new home.
Understand your block
We look at the shape, size and easements of your block so we can design a floor plan that makes the most of your land.
Meet with Jimmy
Sit down with our Director to talk through the home you want, your family size, needs, budget and must-have features. Your brief becomes the design.
Finalise your design
We refine the design and layout with our partner architect until it is exactly the home you have been picturing.
Receive your quote
An accurate, all-inclusive figure covering every detail and inclusion we have discussed, so there are no surprises.
Permits and selections
We handle your building permit while you choose colours, tiles and finishes. Unsure where to start? We create free mood boards for you.
Demolish and build
We are ready to go. We demolish the old home and start building your new one. Let the fun begin.
