• Customisation: You have complete control over the design and features within your new home.
  
  
• Cost-effectiveness: It can be more affordable than buying a new home, especially when considering stamp duty savings.

Responsible Disposal/Recycling: Where possible, materials from your old home, such as bricks, timber, and metal, will be recycled to reduce waste. Any remaining materials will be disposed of responsibly at approved facilities.

Queenslander Homes: If your existing home is a Queenslander or another style suitable for relocation, you have an additional option. You can contact a specialist removal and demolition company that also offers services to remove and sell your home. This can potentially generate income that you can then put towards building your new AUSMAR home. These companies will carefully remove the house from the property and transport it to a new location.

It all depends on what you're looking for in your new home.

In most cases, yes! One of the great advantages of a Knockdown Rebuild is that it allows you to make the most of your existing land, even if it's larger or has a unique shape that wouldn't suit a typical new build estate. Our team will conduct a thorough site assessment to ensure your land is suitable and to help you choose a design that complements its features beautifully.

Knockdown Rebuilds can often be a more cost-effective option than extensive renovations and extensions. With renovations, you may encounter hidden costs and unexpected structural issues that can drive up the price. A Knockdown Rebuild gives you a fresh start, allowing for better budget control and often a faster completion time.

When you build new, you can incorporate the latest design trends, energy-efficient technologies and modern liveability standards. This means your home will not only meet your current needs but also be well-equipped for the future, potentially increasing its value and appeal down the line. For example, with a Knockdown Rebuild, we can ensure your new home includes step-free access, wider doorways and hallways, ground-level toilets with increased space and step-free showers. These features enhance accessibility and adaptability, making your home comfortable and safe for years to come, regardless of any changes in your needs or abilities.

Potentially, yes! Duplexes can be a fantastic way to maximise the value of a larger block or take advantage of favourable zoning changes.
