A Seamless Knock Down Rebuild Experience

A knock down rebuild in Sydney involves more than designing and constructing a new home. There is an existing property to assess, approvals to coordinate and demolition to complete before construction of your new home can begin.

At Michaelangelo Designer Homes, we guide you through the process from the early assessment of your property and design requirements through to planning and approvals, demolition, construction and final completion. Our experienced team coordinates the different stages of the project while keeping you informed as your new home progresses.

Every property is different, so we consider the site, planning requirements and your individual objectives before determining the appropriate pathway for your project.

Knock Down Rebuild Frequently Asked Questions

A knock down rebuild involves demolishing an existing dwelling and constructing a new home on the same property. The process can include site assessment, design development, planning and approvals, demolition, site preparation, construction and final handover. The exact requirements depend on the property, proposed design and applicable planning and approval requirements.

Suitability depends on more than the size of the block. Site levels, access, planning controls, easements, services, heritage or conservation requirements and the type of home you want to build can all influence what is possible. An early assessment helps identify these considerations before the project progresses too far.

Demolition forms part of the overall knock down rebuild planning and needs to be coordinated with the project’s approvals and construction programme. Michaelangelo Designer Homes can guide you through the requirements and coordination applicable to your project so the transition from the existing dwelling to construction of the new home is properly planned.

Yes. Your new home should respond to your site, lifestyle and priorities. Depending on your project, you may begin with one of our established home designs and customise it to suit your needs, or explore a more individually tailored design solution.

The timeframe varies according to the property, design, approval pathway, demolition requirements, site conditions and construction scope. Rather than applying a single timeframe to every project, we assess the requirements of the individual knock down rebuild and discuss the anticipated process and programme with you as the project develops.
