Fall in love with both your home and your location through Metricon’s KnockDown Rebuild (KDRB) in Melbourne. Create a modern, stylish home that perfectly complements your lifestyle in the suburb you love. Our award-winning designs offer sophistication and timeless appeal, inside and out.
More and more Melbourne homeowners are choosing to stay right where they are and build a brand-new home on the block of land they already own. If you’ve outgrown your old house but still love your street, a KnockDown Rebuild lets you have it both ways.
As KnockDown Rebuild specialists, we’ve helped thousands of families build their dream home without changing postcodes. We make the entire build journey simple and supported, from the first conversation through to handover.
A knockdown rebuild means taking down your existing home and building new on the same block. It’s a cost-effective way to upgrade your lifestyle without the hassle of relocating or renovating around old foundations.
For many families across Australia, rebuilding offers more freedom, better long-term value and a more stress-free experience than trying to make an old home work. If your place is tired, too small or no longer suits your needs, starting fresh can be the smarter move.
Every KnockDown Rebuild project follows a clear process, and it all starts with understanding your site. From there, we work through each stage with care and attention to detail, so nothing gets missed and there are no surprises along the way.
Here’s how a typical KnockDown Rebuild journey unfolds:
Step 1: Site assessment. We assess your block, check site conditions and run a soil test to understand what's needed. We then confirm zoning rules and overlays that may affect what you can build.
Step 2: Council approval process. We help navigate the local council approvals needed to move forward. Once approved, we obtain the building permit so construction can begin.
Step 3: Demolition. Your existing home is safely removed by a qualified team.
Step 4: Construction. Your new home is built with care, stage by stage, to our highest standards.
Step 5: Handover. We hand over the keys and walk you through your completed new home.
It’s a step-by-step process that we manage with you from start to finish. Our team is here every step of the way to guide you, help avoid unexpected costs and give you peace of mind throughout the entire process.
Whether you're upsizing, downsizing, or investing, a brand-new build lets you choose from over 150 modern designs and customise every detail to fit your needs. Our experienced Sales and Studio M design team will work with you to create a home that matches your lifestyle, whether you need spacious living areas, multiple entertaining zones, or a functional layout.
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.

Metricon has built thousands of homes for Australians since 1976. We understand that when you’re on your new build journey you want to feel secure and build with confidence. This is why we provide a lifetime structural guarantee on many of our homes. We have complete confidence in our completed homes, so you will too.
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.

Renovating might fix part of the problem, but it won’t give you a new home. A knockdown rebuild with Metricon Homes means a clean slate and more value for every dollar spent.
No, if you already own the land, you won’t pay stamp duty again to rebuild in Victoria. This can make a KnockDown Rebuild more cost-effective than moving.
