We’ll guide you through the process, From demolition to construction

Our knockdown rebuild service empowers you to achieve a fresh start in a location you love. We’ll demolish your existing home and start from scratch, allowing you to build the home of your dreams without having to leave your beloved community behind. We’ll guide you through the process, from demolition to design to construction, giving you confidence that the final result will be more than worth the journey.

A knockdown rebuild is often a more cost-effective option than renovating your existing home – particularly as older homes require special care and material considerations to achieve a seamless finished result. Unlike a renovation, it also allows you to start afresh with a blank canvas – meaning that the home vision you previously dismissed as a pipe dream may soon become a reality. As knockdown rebuild specialists, we know you may have sentimental reasons for certain aspects of your home. These can all be reused in your new build to keep the spirit of your home alive and help reduce waste, keeping costs down.

The Knockdown Rebuild Process

Planning and Design

As a comprehensive service, we will assist you in planning and designing your home. First, we will do a consultation with you to understand your wants, needs and desired outcome. We’ll discuss your vision, preferences, and any specific features you have in mind. Our team will then conduct a thorough analysis of your space, taking into account factors like functionality, aesthetics, and sustainability. Once we have a clear understanding of your goals, we will create detailed design concepts and layouts, incorporating your style while optimising for both comfort and efficiency. Throughout the process, we’ll ensure open communication, allowing for adjustments and refinements to achieve a result that truly reflects your personality and lifestyle.

Permits and Approvals

Navigating the permits and approvals process is a critical step in bringing your home design to life. Our team will guide you through the necessary regulations and requirements specific to your location, ensuring that all aspects of your project comply with local codes and zoning laws. We will prepare and submit the required documentation, liaising with relevant authorities to streamline the approval process and minimise any potential delays. By handling this aspect of the project, we help you focus on the creative elements of your home, while we ensure that everything is in place for a smooth and compliant build.

Demolition

At Brownhill Homes, we project manage your build from beginning to end, ensuring a seamless experience. We start by obtaining multiple quotes for your demolition, carefully evaluating each option to find the best fit for your project. Throughout the process, we liaise with the selected contractors, ensuring that all permits and requirements are meticulously met. Our dedicated approach guarantees a smooth and efficient knockdown, minimising disruption and preparing your site for the exciting transformation ahead. With us at the helm, you can trust that every detail is handled with precision, paving the way for a clean and successful start to your new build.

Site Preparation and Construction

Site preparation and construction are vital stages in transforming your vision into reality. Once the demolition is complete, our team will meticulously prepare the site, ensuring it’s ready for the upcoming build. This includes grading the land, establishing proper drainage, and marking utilities to prevent any disruptions. Throughout the construction phase, we maintain a strong focus on quality and efficiency, managing timelines and coordinating trades to ensure everything progresses smoothly. Our project managers oversee every aspect, from laying the foundation to the final touches, keeping you informed every step of the way with weekly update emails and photos. With a commitment to craftsmanship and attention to detail, we bring your dream home to life while adhering to all safety standards and building codes.

COSTS & PRICING
Building your dream home shouldn't involve compromise. While the existing structure may hold sentimental value, a knockdown rebuild unlocks a world of possibilities.

Imagine the freedom – a fresh start tailored entirely to your vision.

Knockdown & Rebuild Costs in Melbourne

Budget blowout can be an issue when renovating an existing property, as it’s difficult to foresee all the costs involved. Depending on the age, layout and quality of the existing build, you may face problems that can quickly add up – for example, a full rewiring of the house if the electricals are not up to scratch could run into thousands in unexpected bills.

If you have significant changes in mind, a knockdown rebuild project can be much more cost effective. The expected outgoings are clear upfront: demolition of the existing property, the design and build of your new custom home and any rental costs incurred during the building period.
