Knockdown Rebuilds

WHY OPT FOR A KNOCKDOWN REBUILD?

Knockdown Rebuilds are the next best thing. A mixture of innovation and practicality, our Knockdown Rebuild service allows you to stay put in your chosen location with the added benefit of a fresh home design.

We’ll guide you every step of the way, from demolition to construction, helping you map out an original design that speaks to you – so you can be confident that the end result will be perfectly aligned with your vision.  

A Knockdown Rebuild is a great option if you’re looking for a cost-effective way to achieve your dream home – as renovations can be expensive, unpredictable and difficult to get right. Renovations and extensions also require a lot of maintenance, as much of the older facade of the home remains in place, making it less and less manageable over time.

What’s more, budget blowouts are to be expected with renovations as unexpected challenges can arise midway through the process. As Knockdown Rebuild specialists, we are able to more accurately map out every step of the process during the planning and design stage. At EVCG, we know how to turn a blank canvas into a sophisticated, inspiring living space.

Are you living in a location that you’re attached to, but in need of a new home that reflects your current lifestyle? Then our specialist Knockdown Rebuild service is the best place to start.

THE KNOCKDOWN REBUILD PROCESS – WHAT TO EXPECT

Let’s walk you through the process of demolishing and rebuilding your dream home. Our team of skilled and certified consultants will conduct a thorough site assessment and feasibility study without any obligations. They will provide expert guidance on all related expenses, including those beyond the construction of a new house. Additionally, we take care of organising the demolition of your current property.

We’re committed to making the rebuilding process as easy as possible. Experience a hassle-free and pleasant journey with our friendly and stress-free approach. Here are some of the most important steps of the Knockdown Rebuild journey.

THE PROCESS

1

Planning Phase

Conducting a contour survey and an engineer’s soil report is essential in achieving the optimal design solution for your project. 
Customised initial concept sketches and cost estimates will be developed according to your specific preferences and requirements, for your review. 
After finalising the designs, we will proceed by preparing all the required documentation, leading up to the colour selection and prestart meeting.

2

Site Review

Before starting work on site, we will review any last-minute changes and confirm your selections for your new residence.
Subsequently, we will coordinate and obtain all essential permits and authorisations from the relevant local authorities. 
Additionally, we will provide guidance on suitable timelines for vacating your current residence.

3

Relocation

Once all required approvals are secured, it is now the appropriate moment to relocate. 
Rest assured, EVCG Homes has taken care of all the details, including arranging the removalist. 
Our team will begin work on the site, initiating the demolition of your previous residence – bidding farewell to years of upkeep on an aging property.

4

Demolition and Construction

The project has now started, beginning with the demolition of your old house to clear the area for your new home. 
After the old house is removed, earthworks and pre-laying of plumbing and footings begin, followed by the pouring of the new slab. 
Brickwork starts, the roof is pitched, and the shape of your new home starts to become visible. 
Various trades are now working diligently on the finishing touches to guarantee the high-quality finish you anticipate from any EVCG Home.

5

Final Inspection

The construction of your new residence has been finished. You will now conduct a final inspection of the property alongside your assigned site supervisor. Any remaining issues will be resolved promptly. Once everything is sorted, you will be handed the keys to your new EVCG Home, marking the completion of the process

MAKING IT EASY TO
DEMOLISH AND BUILD

At EVCG Homes, we understand that sometimes your family may have outgrown your current home. However, instead of going through the hassle of moving, we offer an easy solution. Our skilled design team can collaborate with you to create a custom-designed home that takes advantage of your current surroundings. By handling matters such as building boundaries, covenants, zoning, and easements for services like sewerage and drainage, we can save you from unnecessary costs and delays. We don’t want to put anymore on your plate, so we also handle the nitty gritty stuff.

We also take into account any existing features that may affect your building project, such as trees or pools, and provide valuable advice to seamlessly integrate the demolition process into your new home construction schedule.
