If you love your location but not your current home, a knockdown rebuild with Clarendon Homes could be the perfect solution. Whether your existing home is outdated, no longer functional, or simply doesn’t meet the needs of your growing family, rebuilding gives you the opportunity to create a modern, energy-efficient home, right where you already live.

But what exactly does the knockdown rebuild process involve? Here’s a step-by-step look at how Clarendon Homes guides you through the journey from tired old home to brand-new dream home.

It all starts with a quick check of your property’s suitability. Our team will assess your site based on the information you provide, like your address, title documents, or existing home details, to determine if a knockdown rebuild is viable. This no-obligation step helps give you clarity before moving forward.

Next, you’ll work with one of our experienced New Home Consultants to select a home design that suits your lifestyle, land size and budget. We’ll prepare a personalised sales estimate that outlines the base price of your chosen design, plus any likely site costs and upgrades. This gives you a transparent overview of what to expect, without any commitment.

Once you’re happy with the initial estimate, we’ll organise a free site inspection. This involves visiting your property to gather more detailed information, including site slope, access, existing structures, and local council considerations. The site inspection is a critical step in fine-tuning your home design to ensure it works perfectly for your block.

Ready to move forward? An initial deposit locks in your home design and kicks off the necessary reports and planning. This includes ordering contour surveys, soil tests, and engineering assessments. These reports help us accurately determine site-related costs and prepare your fixed-price tender with confidence.

We’ll also begin preparing your building contract and start working on council approvals in the background.

This is where everything starts coming together. In this stage of the process, your customer service representative will book your visit to our state-of-the-art Lifestyle Studio to make your interior and exterior selections, from bricks and tiles to kitchen benchtops and tapware. Our expert interior consultants will guide you through the entire process, helping you create a home that reflects your personal style.

Meanwhile, we’ll finalise your plans, submit them for approval, and coordinate all remaining pre-construction work. If demolition hasn’t taken place yet, now is the time to engage your demolition contractor and prepare the site for a fresh start.

FIND A DEMOLITION CONTRACTOR

Once demolition is complete and approvals are in place, we’re ready to start construction. From slab to handover, Clarendon Homes manages every stage with quality craftsmanship and clear communication. You’ll be kept updated at key milestones and have a dedicated site supervisor to guide you through the build.

At handover, we’ll walk you through your brand-new home and provide everything you need to settle in, including a Homeowner’s Manual and information about your Lifetime Structural Guarantee.

We understand that rebuilding your home can feel like a big decision, but with the right team, it doesn’t have to be overwhelming. With over four decades of experience, Clarendon Homes brings expert guidance, transparent pricing, and award-winning designs to every knockdown rebuild project.
