If your current home no longer meets your needs, but you love your location, a knockdown rebuild could be the ideal solution. Rather than renovating or moving, this process allows you to demolish your existing house and build a brand-new home in its place.
Dennis Family Homes offers a streamlined knockdown rebuild process, guiding homeowners through every stage, from site assessment to handing over the keys to a brand-new home.
How the Knockdown Rebuild Process Works
1. Free Site Inspection
A Knockdown Rebuild Specialist will assess your property to determine feasibility. This includes checking council regulations, site access, and any potential constraints that could affect the build.
2. One-on-One Design Consultation
In this personalised session, you’ll discuss your vision, lifestyle, and requirements. A specialist will recommend home designs that suit your block and provide a preliminary cost estimate.
3. Initial Deposit and Site Assessment
To proceed, an initial deposit is required. Dennis Family Homes will then conduct essential site investigations, including soil tests and property service checks, to ensure your block is suitable for construction.
4. Confirmation of Plans and Pricing
Once all assessments are complete, you’ll review your finalised plans and pricing. This is an opportunity to make adjustments before signing off on the details and proceeding to the next stage.
5. Preparing for Demolition
Before demolition, services such as electricity, gas, and water must be disconnected. Permits need to be obtained, and any existing tenants must be notified. The team will guide you through this preparation process.
6. Town Planning and Council Approvals
If required, Dennis Family Homes will assist with town planning approvals and council permits, ensuring compliance with local regulations.
7. Showroom Appointment – Selecting Your Finishes
At this stage, you’ll visit the Dennis Family Homes showroom to choose your interior finishes, fixtures, and fittings with the help of an interior designer.
8. Signing the Building Contract
Once all selections are made, you’ll review and sign the Housing Industry Association contract, which outlines the full details of your new home build.
9. Demolition and Building Permit Application
Once permits are in place, demolition of the existing home can begin. At the same time, Dennis Family Homes will finalise all construction documents and apply for the building permit.
10. Construction Begins
With everything in place, construction of your new home begins. The team will keep you informed throughout the process, ensuring a smooth and stress-free experience.
Explore Display Homes to Find Your Perfect Design
Before making a final decision on your home design, it’s a great idea to visit a few display homes in person. This allows you to experience different layouts, materials, and finishes, helping you make more informed choices about your new home.
Dennis Family Homes has a range of display homes across Melbourne and Victoria. One example is the Ballarat Display Centre, which showcases the Venetia and Alexandra designs, two thoughtfully designed homes that combine style and functionality.
Another example is the Aintree display home “Olinda”, a modern and spacious home perfect for growing families, with open-plan living areas and contemporary finishes.
Visiting these display centres allows you to explore different layouts and gather inspiration for your own knockdown rebuild project.
