Stay in the location you love. Build the home you actually want.

If your block still works but the house doesn’t, we can help you manage the rebuild from design and pricing through to construction.

What a knock-down rebuild involves

A knock-down rebuild gives you the opportunity to stay in the suburb you already know while creating a home that better suits how you want to live.

We help you work through the practical steps early, including what can be built on the site, how the design may affect the budget and what needs to happen before construction begins.

Demolition coordination

We can help organise the removal of the existing home before construction begins.

Design

Need plans? We can coordinate the design through our preferred third-party drafting partner.

Engineering and approvals

The required engineering and building approvals are worked through before site construction begins.

Selections

Key finishes and selections are confirmed so the construction quote is based on a more complete brief.

Construction pricing

Once the plans, engineering and selections are ready, we prepare the detailed construction quote.

Construction

From site start through to completion, we manage the new home build.

Planning with the budget in mind

One of the biggest risks in a custom build is developing plans first and finding out later that the home costs more than expected to build.

We prefer to discuss the site, brief and budget early. That gives us the opportunity to provide construction input while the design is being developed, so decisions around size, layout and finishes can be made with cost in mind.

Planning a knock-down rebuild?

Do I need plans before contacting you?

No. You can contact us before the design is complete. We can work with plans you already have or help coordinate new plans through our preferred drafting partner.

Can you organise the demolition?

We can help organise the demolition of the existing home as part of the knock-down rebuild process.

When should I speak to a builder?

Ideally, before the design progresses too far. Early builder input can help you understand likely construction costs and make more informed design decisions.

How much does a knock-down rebuild cost?

The cost depends on the home, site, demolition requirements, engineering, finishes and other project-specific factors. We start by discussing your brief and budget before providing an early indication of the likely construction range.

What budget should I have for a knock-down rebuild?

Our knock-down rebuild projects typically sit within a $1.2M to $2M complete project budget, depending on the home, site, demolition requirements, finishes and other project costs.

We can discuss your budget early and help establish whether the project is likely to be a good fit before the design progresses too far.

How long does the build take?

Projects are usually completed in under nine months from starting on site. The exact timeframe depends on the home and the site, and is confirmed for each project.

How soon can you start?

Lead times vary depending on our current project schedule and how far your plans and approvals have progressed. We’ll give you a clearer indication of availability once we understand your project.

Where do you build?

We focus on Brisbane’s inner south, generally within approximately 10 kilometres of the CBD on the southside of the river.

Can I use one of your floor plans?

Yes. The floor plan range can be used as shown or as a starting point for further design discussions.
