Knock Down Rebuild
You live on the perfect piece of land. Big, wide, and right across the road from the park. It’s so good you often hear passers by comment on it. “Now that’s a block of land!” they say. Then they get a look at the shack that sits on top of it. Old, outdated and not making the street look particularly great.
But you put up with it, because the kids are going to school down the road, the neighbours are great, your friends are close by and it’s a stone's throw from everything you need.
So Why Not Knock Down Rebuild?
Because your perfect piece of land deserves the perfect home. No need to move from the neighbourhood or community you love, just knock down your existing home and build a new one with McDonald Jones.
We can help you with the knock down, the rebuild and every step in between. You’ll be surprised how affordable and easy it is, with the added benefit of not having to move your life.
So don’t say goodbye to the location you love, say hello to a whole new way to live.

Step 1
We assess your existing home and location using the information you have from your original purchase contract, and any previous tests and reports that have been conducted on your land. We then discuss any additional reports we may need to purchase.*
*We may be required to purchase reports for your block of land to determine building requirements.
Step 2
We work within your needs and budget to help you find the McDonald Jones architecturally designed home that fulfils your hopes and dreams.
We adjust the home options to fit the land, Complying Development Certificate (CDC) and Council Development constraints.
We complete an initial site inspection and you relax as we prepare a comprehensive, company-backed written quotation to give you confidence in taking the next step forward towards your dream home.
Step 3
We walk through the quotation with you and discuss the implications.
When you are satisfied with the quotation, you pay an acceptance deposit and are on your way to plan preparation, colour and inclusion selections.
After the Building Plans are approved and the demolition has taken place, the construction begins!
Frequently Asked Knock Down Rebuild Questions
Building a new home is a rewarding experience. In among all the excitement there are big decisions to make and many choices to consider, so it’s natural you will have lots of questions along the way.
At McDonald Jones, we do everything we can to make the process easy for you – after all, we’ve been building beautiful, architecturally designed homes for more than 30 years, and we know how to make your knock down rebuild journey as simple and seamless as it can be.
This decision really comes down to three key factors - the condition of your home, your budget and the cost to create what you want and need. Depending on the size of your renovation, a knock down rebuild is generally far more cost effective and the return on investment is generally better. A KDRB offers you a completely new home, which suits your every need vs a home with new features and retrofitted to suit some of your needs.
When you are looking for a builder to work on your knock down rebuild and you can't see many reviews on their services, there are a number of things to consider. Do they know the local council requirements? Do they have a clear process? Do you know what is and is not included? Speak to their team about these factors and also what the financial requirements are before you sign a contract.
If a home that caters to your needs, is designed for contemporary lifestyles and uses a range of modern fixtures and fittings appeals to you then Yes! A knock down rebuild is definitely worth it!! The great thing about a completely new home is that you can select every aspect of your new home and ensure that the design, look and feel is absolutely what you want for you home.
Do you love where you live? Are you settled in schools, jobs, life and don’t want to a big upheaval? If you answered yes, then a knock down rebuild sounds like the best option for you. Just consider where you will live whilst the build is taking place. If you are interested in a change of location or even a sea or tree change selling and building something new or buying an existing home is a good option.
