Family outgrown your current home? Building brand-new means you can design your home to meet everyone’s needs. You can have multiple entertaining areas, spacious bedrooms and living areas for the kids.

You start by choosing from more than 150 leading-edge home designs from our portfolio, then customise it to suit you from there. Whatever kind of lifestyle you and your family have, we have a spectacular range of single and double storey home designs and floorplan to match.

Building a new home removes the renovation risk

Building a new home is a much safer option than renovating your old home. Firstly, you avoid all the hidden problems waiting behind the walls of your old house. Plus, you know what your timeline, processes and budget are right from the beginning which gives you peace of mind. Knocking down your existing home and building a new one gives you true freedom too. You can customise your design so it matches your lifestyle perfectly. Brand-new, with every luxury and convenience you could ever want. And no stamp duty.

Versatile home designs for sloping blocks and difficult shapes

Have a block which is unusual in size, shape or slope? Metricon has a range of homes that may be suitable for narrow, skinny or sloping blocks, and make the most of the features and space.

Maximise every inch of space from narrow blocks with tight access. Our clever designs and team of professionals are always up to the challenge.

‘Starting from new’ is so simple with Metricon

We had heard of Metricon, but had never built a home before, and so didn’t know what to expect from a project home builder. We certainly didn’t know they could build as impressive a home as the Sentosa. Metricon’s expertise and willingness to work with us gave us huge confidence that we could achieve our building dreams.

Knock Down Rebuild Melbourne

What is the KnockDown Rebuild process in Melbourne?

As Australia’s leading builder, Metricon Homes has a range of options for everyone, including first-home buyers, upgraders, downsizers, and investors in Melbourne, Victoria, Sydney, Newcastle, the Central Coast, NSW, Adelaide, SA, or anywhere across Australia we service. These include home and land packages, [DB1] dual occupancy properties, and Country Living. If you love your address but not your house, a KnockDown ReBuild Melbourne home could be the perfect hassle-free solution for you. When you build a brand new home, we’ll work with you every step of the way to help you find the perfect dream home for you and your family. Our building process includes:

    • Choose your home design. All our double and single storey home designs are yours to choose from, subject to suitability for your site. Speak with our design consultants at the very start, visit our display centres, or take a virtual tour of our homes.
    • Council approvals. We’ll take a look at your block and speak with you about your property goals. Then we’ll start the process with your local council.
    • Site inspection and assessment. While talking to the council, we’ll take a closer look at every square metre of your site, survey your block of land and take soil samples.
    • Preliminary contracts. This is where we give you an idea of the costs, including all the site costs.
    • Fixtures and features. You’ll get to visit our Studio M Selection Centre in Melbourne or Geelong to make some important design decisions.
    • Final contract. When you’re ready to go and we have council planning approval.
    • Building permit. We’ll work with your local council.
    • Demolition and construction. We can recommend a demolition contractor for your old house, and we’ll build your home.

From here, there‘s only the handover and landscaping to go. And we‘ll leave the gardening up to you. Find out more about our knock down and rebuild process here.

How much does it cost to knock down a house and rebuild in Melbourne?

When it comes to costs, every block of land and house is different. And no two KnockDown ReBuilds are the same. As KnockDown Rebuild specialists in Melbourne, we understand there are a lot of rebuild cost variables to consider. And we’ll let you know upfront, at the preliminary contract stage, what those costs are likely to be. Start by understanding the costs and finance options of building a new home, and get help from our resources such as:

  • Mortgage calculators
  • Saving tips

It’s always worthwhile for peace of mind to discuss your property and financial goals with your financial advisor and to understand how a KnockDown ReBuild in Melbourne can help you achieve them.

One of the great things about working so closely with Metricon when you build your dream home is that you'll know what you get for the money you pay. When you click on any of our home designs, such as the La Pyrenee, you’ll discover information about:

    • Façade. Some designs include multiple façade options.
    • Key features. Learn more about the standout features of the home.
    • Floor plans. Understand the different ones available with that design.
    • Inclusions. Find out what’s included, such as appliances, flooring, heating and cooling, and fittings, and what upgrades you want.

What are the benefits of a KnockDown Rebuild in Melbourne?

Building a brand new home at your existing address is becoming an increasingly popular option for home builders, especially in and around Melbourne where real estate prices are rising. And there’s a range of other reasons as well:

Do you need approval from local council for a KnockDown Rebuild?

Metricon has been working with Australian families to build their dream homes for more than 40 years. We know homes, and we know local councils. That’s why we’ll work alongside you every step of the way regarding your title, local planning laws, and any existing planning overlays to make sure a KnockDown Rebuild process is as smooth as can be.
