What Is a Knock Down Rebuild?

Knock down rebuild (KDR) is where you take an existing dwelling on a block of land and knock it all down, then build a 100% new home. One of the most popular methods for homeowners throughout Victoria to improve their properties without leaving behind the location, school area or community they have grown to adore.

In established Melbourne suburbs, where land is precious but the poor quality housing no longer meets modern families' needs, knock down rebuilds are very popular.

Common Reasons Homeowners Choose a Knock Down Rebuild:

• The existing home is old, damaged, or structurally unsound
• The floor plan no longer suits a growing or changing family
• Renovating would cost nearly as much as building new with less benefit
• You love the location, land size, and community, but not the house
• You want to add a knock down rebuild duplex for extra rental income or multigenerational living
• Energy efficiency, modern design, and long-term value are priorities
