Rebuilding a new home can be a cost-effective alternative to either moving or a long, drawn-out renovation. It allows you to alter your existing home to your taste and lifestyle, with all new products and structural warranties in place. Best of all, it allows you to stay in the location that you love.
Start your knockdown rebuild journey with Ownit Homes today - contact us and chat with one of our new Brisbane home consultants.
One of our experienced Consultants and a Company Director will visit your land and provide an initial assessment of your rebuild project. Your Consultant will be looking at aspects such as slope, shape, available utilities and access to your block and will also be able to provide you with advice about the best home design or custom design, to suit your block.
The most important step when looking to build a new home is knowing and understanding the ground on which your home will be built on. A Site Classification Report will ensure that your home is designed and built to stand the test of time.
We manage the demolition workflow end-to-end through our trusted Brisbane demolition partners, coordinating complete site clearance with the engineering requirements for your new home. Specialist demolition work is carried out by the appropriate licensed contractor.
Once demolition is complete, we’ll conduct additional engineering and site surveys. This is a vital step to ensure that the integrity of the land hasn’t changed during demolition and that nothing lurks beyond the surface of your home. Our team will review the results of these tests, provide final requirements, and advise of any issues or changes required to the design of your home.
Once your land is completely vacant and ready to go, your home building journey can begin!
Deciding on a knockdown rebuild is an exciting journey towards creating your new home. Before diving into the building process, here are some important factors to consider:
Brisbane block planning
Every knockdown rebuild block is different. Before your design is confirmed, we help identify the site conditions and planning questions that need to be addressed, then work with the right consultants for your project.
Some inner-Brisbane addresses have character or heritage-related controls that can affect demolition, streetscape and the new-home design. Requirements vary by property, so they are checked early rather than assumed.
Slope, water flow, drainage and access can influence the engineering, site preparation and siting of your home. A site assessment helps surface these considerations before you commit to a layout.
For blocks from 10m wide, we can review suitable narrow-lot home designs and custom options, alongside setbacks, access and your family’s needs.
Planning overlays and approvals are determined by the current rules and the individual address. We recommend confirming property-specific controls through Brisbane City Council’s planning and building information before making a final decision.
