Boston 36



Renovating can be expensive, selling and buying can be a harrowing experience and you may have to move further than you would like. With the current shortage of land in the capital cities, more people are opting to stay where they are and choosing to knock down rebuild their tired old house into a beautiful new home.
We can suggest a suitable design for your knock down rebuild that suits your block of land. So if you love the street you live in, your neighbours, the local facilities or simply don't want to relocate the family, this is the option for you.
Building with the knock down rebuild specialists Clarendon Homes, gives you access to a catalogue of more than 40 home designs covered by the Lifetime Structural Guarantee scheme. All our homes come in multiple façade variations, with different interiors, to ensure we are building a house that is adapted to your lifestyle and needs.
You can start collecting new home ideas by browsing through our list of home designs, or visit us in one of our display centres. Contact us today for more information about our knock down rebuilds in Sydney, Newcastle, The Central Coast and Wollongong including our knock down rebuild process.
Why should you knock down and rebuild your old house when you can renovate it instead?
If your house is old and energy-consuming, the costs of building and maintaining a new house may be lower than those of maintaining your current home, with the maintenance and energy costs that may occur in the long run. Knock down rebuild is an option worth considering.
A house with full potential might be tough to achieve through renovations, due to the space restrictions that will arise from the existing floor plan. Building a new house is the best way to design the space that you need, without making any compromise.
When your current house is becoming a liability for you, sometimes the only option is to find a better home. However, finding a new home in the neighbourhood you’ve become attached to throughout the years, can prove to be close to impossible. A knock down rebuild in NSW will allow you to keep living in your current neighbourhood, instead of relocating to a new location and starting a whole new life.
The building process starts off with a land assessment to ensure your new home complies with all thenecessary regulations. This includes a site inspection, a borehole soil test, preparation of a zoning certificate and a comprehensive contour survey of your land.

Remaining in the same neighbourhood you love and keeping the address you know is one of the great benefits of a knock down rebuild. A knock down rebuild also means you can build the exact home your growing family needs, and include any extra bedrooms or living areas to suit your lifestyle.
