A knock down rebuild is just as it sounds – a complete home, starting from scratch on land you already own and love. With JG King Homes’ knock down rebuilds, you get the chance to design a forever home in a location you love, complete with modern conveniences and industry-leading TRUECORE® steel frames. If you’re ready for a new home but don’t want to compromise on lifestyle and location, there’s plenty to love in a knock down rebuild.

Is a Knock Down Rebuild the Right Choice for You?

The plan to knock down and rebuild a home won’t be right for everyone, but there’s a reason they’re becoming more and more popular. Here are a few of the reasons you might want to consider a knock down rebuild:

  • You love where you live: The appeal of building a new home can sometimes be outweighed by moving. Instead of taking the kids to a new school, losing your stunning views, or leaving your friendly neighbourhood behind, a knock down rebuild lets you stay put while upgrading your home.
  • You can build the home of your dreams: Not every home is built to last. Whether yours is in desperate need of renovations, is too small for a growing family, or is just not to your taste, a knock down rebuild lets you fully customise every element, without having to move addresses.
  • Save money and grow your investment: Stamp duty, capital gains tax, rising property prices – these are just a few of the costly factors you’ll face when buying a new home and moving. Knock down rebuilds let you avoid that while growing the equity on a property you already own.

The JG King Homes Knock Down Rebuild Process

Considering a new home on land you already own? Here’s what the JG King Homes knock down rebuild process looks like:

  1. Enquires and site assessment
    The first steps include research and consultation to understand your goals, your finances, and to ensure that your land and building ideas line up with any restrictions and local regulations.
  2. Council permits and approvals
    We’ll take the lead on navigating and submitting the necessary paperwork to get your knock down rebuild approved by your local council. This step includes confirming your design and, with over 100 designs to choose from, we’ll find something that works for everyone.
  3. Demolition
    A key part of the knock down rebuild process. Once you’ve organised and managed your demolition, and the site is prepared, you can move on to the most exciting part, building!
  4. Building
    Here, our expert team will bring your new home to life, constructing a modern home that’s built with TRUECORE® steel frames and Colourbond steel roof to stand the test of time.

Costs and Considerations: What to Expect

Knocking down a home and building a new one represents a huge investment, which is why it’s important to trust our knock down rebuild specialists at JG King Homes. In addition to guiding you through the considerations below, you’ll benefit from our fixed price guarantee, preventing unforeseen costs during the process.

  • The home: The largest expense in these processes is typically building the home itself. At JG King Homes, you’ll find over 100 home designs to choose from, offering you plenty of scope to suit your budget.
  • Demolition: The total cost of removing the previous property on your land will depend on factors like the building’s size and ease of access to the site.
  • Permit fees: Again, this will depend on your home. Factors like heritage, construction height and demolition will require submitting permits for approval, which attract fees.

Key Questions to Ask Before Starting a Knock Down Rebuild

A knock down rebuild can be a great way to take advantage of a location you love, but it’s not for everyone. Before you begin, ask yourself a few questions:

  • Is my property suitable? With heritage overlays, zoning restrictions, and local regulations, some properties offer more of a challenge than others.
  • What’s my budget? A knock down rebuild can be a cost-effective path to a new home, but it’s not a guarantee. Consider the costs of demolition, building, and paying off a mortgage when planning a knock down rebuild.
  • Have I got the right advice? Don’t just forge ahead without speaking to the experts. Working with professionals like JG King Homes is a smart way to ensure that your planned build is going to comply with regulations, stick to budget and be successful.
