Knockdown rebuild Sydney
Tear down the old and build your dream home
You love your local coffee shop. Your kids love their school. You love how close you live to your family. But your home’s layout or style is ready for a refresh?
Whether it’s too small for your growing family, doesn’t suit your lifestyle, or doesn’t take advantage of its potential views, you don’t have to sacrifice your location for the home of your dreams.
Knock down rebuilds allow you to stay exactly where you are while turning your outdated or less-than-functional home into the luxurious haven you always dreamed of.
At Icon Homes, we’re Sydney’s knock down rebuild specialists. If the idea of a knock down rebuild seems confronting, we’re here to ease your fears and help you see the hidden potential your block has. With no cookie-cutter designs to stick to, no hidden costs, and no chance your home will look like your neighbour’s, you can finally love every part of where you live.
The benefits of knock down rebuilds
1. Less costly
Moving home can incur a range of costs, including stamp duty, real estate agent fees, legal expenses, and removalists’ fees. A knock down rebuild avoids these while allowing you to invest directly into a brand new, custom home on your own land.
2. Fewer changes
Your home will change, in exactly the way you want it to, but the rest of your life can remain the same. Your kids can stay at their school, you won’t need to find new local amenities and shops, and you can keep your current address.
3. More cost-effective than renovations
Renovations often come with hidden issues and surprise costs. Often when you peel back the layers of your existing home, there are far more unforeseen issues that arise that are out of your control. By starting over with a blank slate, you’ll end up with a new home without the hassles of renovating the old one.
4. Better energy efficiency
One of the benefits many homeowners don’t think of when it comes to knock down rebuilds is improving their home’s energy efficiency. A new build means you can include the latest insulation, appliances, and smart technology, helping you save money on power bills while doing your part for the planet.
5. Increased property value
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to pick one of your designs?
Not at all. You’re more than welcome to start from scratch. However, if you’re unsure, we can use one of our many designs as a starting point. This will help by showing us what you do and don’t like, so we can create something that suits you perfectly.
What if my block is sloping or an irregular shape?
No problem! We’ve worked with plenty of challenging blocks and always design every home to suit the land it’s built on. We also do a full site inspection and detailed survey before giving the green light, ensuring your home sits in the best possible position.
Can I make changes during the design process?
You sure can. That’s part of what makes building with us different! We’ll keep working with you through as many design revisions as you need until everything feels just right.
Will I know the full cost before I sign the contract?
Yes. We’re big believers in clarity and honesty from the very beginning. Before you sign off on your Building Contract, all costings with respect to your design , external, internal, flooring and electrical finishes will all be confirmed along with all clearly defined provisional allowances that have been noted previously in your Tender.
Do you handle council approvals?
Yes, we do. We have extensive experience working with multiple Councils throughout Sydney, which means we know exactly what we need to get started. We take care of the whole Council process, including managing all submissions, queries raised by Council and resubmissions if need be.
Can I be involved during the build?
We’ll invite you to the site at numerous key stages throughout the build to not only see the progress but have the final say on key decisions such as where light fittings will go and how the tiles in your home are set out.
How do I get started?
It all starts with a chat. Reach out to us and we’ll walk you through the next steps. Whether that’s meeting at your place to look at your site or simply having a conversation about your ideas, we look forward to hearing from you.
