New home. Same location.
Our knockdown rebuild process
Obligation-Free Site Assessment
One of our experienced Consultants and a Company Director will visit your land and provide an initial assessment of your 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 to suit your block.
Soil Tests & Reports
The most crucial 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.
Demolition
Prior to demolition, please ensure sewer, water and power are disconnected. You will contract a third party to undertake the demolition of your home directly, as this is the most cost-effective option. We can arrange this process for you, however additional fees apply. Please speak with your Building Consultant about the best option for you. We are more than happy to recommend local companies and provide advice along the way.
Final Assessment
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 there is nothing lurking beyond the surface of your home. Our team will review the results of these tests and provide final estimated site costs and advise of any issues or changes required to the design of your home.
