FAQ
Do I need council approval for a knockdown rebuild?
Yes, most knockdown rebuilds require council approval before demolition and construction can begin. The process involves submitting building plans, site surveys and necessary documentation for review. Local councils assess factors such as zoning, heritage restrictions and environmental impact before granting approval. It’s important to allow time for this stage, as approvals can vary depending on your location and the complexity of your design.
Can I live in my home during a knockdown rebuild?
No, it’s not possible to live on-site during a knockdown rebuild because the existing home must be completely demolished before construction begins. Homeowners typically arrange temporary accommodation nearby until the new build is complete. While this may seem inconvenient, it ensures safety and allows builders to work efficiently without interruption. Planning ahead for this stage helps keep your project timeline on track.
What are the benefits of a knockdown rebuild compared to renovating?
A knockdown rebuild allows you to completely redesign your home without the limitations of existing structures. Unlike renovations, it offers the freedom to create a layout that truly suits your lifestyle while using the latest materials and energy-efficient systems. It can often be more cost-effective than extensive renovations, as older homes may conceal structural issues that can lead to unexpected expenses. Rebuilding also ensures your home meets current building codes and modern design standards.
