KnockDown Rebuild Sydney

If you love your address but not your home, choosing Metricon’s KnockDown rebuild in Sydney can make your property dreams come true. Our specialists will work alongside you to in your journey of building a brand new home that’s perfect for your growing family.

Build a Brand-New Home Without Sacrificing Your Location

A KnockDown Rebuild in Sydney lets you stay right where you are while replacing your current home with something designed for the way you live today. For many homeowners, it’s the smarter choice over selling, renovating or starting over somewhere else. You keep your block, your street, your community, and gain a home that finally fits your lifestyle.

Metricon Homes has helped thousands of growing families across Sydney, Newcastle, the Central Coast and Illawarra rebuild for decades. As Australia’s leading home builder, we offer the experience, support and local knowledge to turn your existing home into your dream home, all without changing your postcode.

What’s the KnockDown Rebuild Process?

Our KnockDown Rebuild specialists manage the entire process with care, experience and attention to detail, guiding you through every step of the way so you always know what’s coming next.

Here’s how the building process typically unfolds:

Step 1: Site inspection and assessment. We start with a site inspection to understand your block, followed by a full site assessment. This helps us identify opportunities or challenges early, including access, slope, site costs and service connections.

Step 2: Zoning and local council checks. We review your zoning and any local council requirements that may affect what you can build. This step helps us set realistic expectations before moving ahead.

Step 3: Building approvals. Our team manages the paperwork and timelines around building approvals, so you don’t have to worry about missed steps or delays.

Step 4: Asbestos removal and demolition. If your existing home contains asbestos, we’ll connect you with a qualified removal and demolition company that can carry out the work safely and professionally.

Step 5: Rebuild and construction. With approvals in place and your block ready, we start the construction of your new home. Our experienced team manages the build from the ground up, keeping quality and timing on track.

Step 6: Handover. Once complete, we walk you through your finished home at handover, making sure everything’s in place and ready for you to move in.

From start to finish, we’re with you through the entire KnockDown Rebuild process, helping you start over with clarity, care and confidence.

Which Metricon House Designs Suit a Knockdown Rebuild in Sydney?

Every block of land is different, and so is every family. That’s why our award-winning home designs are created to suit a wide range of needs, from growing families to multi-generational living.

Whether you're planning a single-storey home, a double-storey new build or even a granny flat addition, we’ll help you find the right floor plan and facade combination to turn your existing property into your perfect home.

  • Freedom – Smart and spacious, these home designs deliver more living without stretching your budget. They’re ideal for young families upgrading from an older home.

How Much Does a KnockDown Rebuild Cost in Sydney?

Every KnockDown Rebuild project is unique, which means the cost can vary depending on your block, location and the home design you choose. Site conditions, access, approvals and finishes all play a part, and it’s not until we review these details that we can provide a fixed-price building contract.

One of the key benefits of building a KnockDown Rebuild home is that you won’t need to pay stamp duty on new land, which can make a big difference to your overall budget. Our team is here to talk you through the numbers clearly, so you know exactly what to expect before you commit.

How Do I Start the Knockdown Rebuild Process?

If your current home isn’t working but you’re not ready to give up your street, now’s a great time to chat with our KnockDown Rebuild team. We’ll walk you through what’s possible on your block and what a new home could look like. No pressure, no guesswork. Just honest advice to get you thinking. Our interior design consultants are here to help bring your ideas to life, and we can even offer landscaping advice to round out your vision.

‘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.
