KnockDown Rebuild Southern NSW

Forget moving or renovating. Build a brand-new home on your existing block with Australia’s leading knockdown rebuild specialists. Metricon Homes makes knockdown rebuilds in Southern NSW so much easier with a wide range of designs and expert guidance at every step.

Start fresh with a knockdown rebuild in Southern NSW

If you love your location but your home no longer works for your lifestyle, a knockdown rebuild in Southern NSW might be the answer. You get to stay close to your community, schools, and favourite cafes, while enjoying the benefits of a brand new home that fits your needs.

At Metricon Homes, we make the entire process simpler, so you can focus on what matters most as you build your dream home.

What is a knockdown rebuild?

A knockdown rebuild is exactly what it sounds like. You take down your existing home and build a new one in its place. It’s a cost-effective way to upgrade your living space without changing your postcode.

Across Southern NSW, Metricon offers knockdown rebuild services in areas including Sydney, Wollongong, the Illawarra, Southern Highlands, South Coast, and more. It’s an ideal choice if your current home is ageing, doesn’t suit your lifestyle or would require a major renovation to bring it up to standard.
Plus, you don’t need to pay stamp duty on new builds. So it’s usually cheaper than buying a new home in a different neighbourhood.

Metricon Homes’ knockdown rebuild process in Southern NSW

Our knockdown rebuild process is structured to give you peace of mind at every step.

1. Initial consultation

We work with you to understand your vision, goals and budget. We’ll also help you explore our range of new home designs.

2. Site inspection

Our experts inspect your existing property, council requirements and costs.

3. Design selection and customisation

Choose from our single storey, double storey, or narrow block floor plans. You can also personalise layouts and inclusions to suit your needs.

4. Contract signing and approvals

Once plans are finalised, we prepare your building contract and lodge the plans for council approval.

5. Demolition

We help you coordinate demolition of the existing structure, including permits, disconnection of services and safe removal of materials.

6. Construction

Our local construction team manages the building process from start to finish, with regular updates and site visits.

7. Handover

Once complete, we hand over your keys, and you move into your new home.

Council approvals and demolition made easy

Navigating local council requirements can be tricky. That’s why we help you manage it all. Our team will organise:

  • Disconnection of services
  • Demolition permits
  • Safe removal of hazardous materials, including asbestos
  • Site preparation

We make sure your knockdown rebuild project meets all regulations, so you don’t have to stress about paperwork.

What to expect during the build

While every knockdown rebuild is different, most homeowners will need to plan for temporary accommodation during construction. The construction process usually takes around 8 to 12 months, depending on the complexity of your house design, site conditions and council approvals. We make sure to keep you updated throughout the entire process with regular communication and site visits.

How much does a knockdown rebuild cost?

There are a few key costs to budget for your knockdown rebuild project:

  • Demolition costs
  • Site preparation and service connections
  • Home construction and any upgrades
  • Landscaping and optional extras like a granny flat or energy-efficient features
  • Compared to buying and relocating, a knockdown rebuild can be more cost-effective in the long run. You get a new house built with high-quality materials, packed with modern features, and warrantied by our Lifetime Structural Guarantee.

‘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.
