Local knowledge, considered design

As dedicated Northern Beaches builders, a knockdown rebuild with us results in a design that considers the area’s aesthetic and lifestyle.

Embrace sustainability, simplify budget management and avoid the unexpected issues that come with renovations. With a knockdown rebuild your new home will make the most of the stunning Northern Beaches, with the peace of mind of a fixed-price contract.

Building for your future

Why knockdown and rebuild?

Because the Northern Beaches is home, and there’s nowhere else quite the same.

A knockdown rebuild is the perfect fit for you if:
- Your home is too small
- Your children are suddenly teenagers craving more space
- Accommodation is needed for ageing parents
- Your house desperately needs massive renovations

Maybe you’re looking for an enduring design for your forever home? Whatever your reason, it’s unique to you, and with a custom build we’ll elevate your land with a home that fits your needs.

Bringing your new home to life

“We wanted to build a home with the right builder who understood our vision. We expected it to be hard and tricky, but it’s been a breeze. We would do it again tomorrow if we could.”

Uncover your home and site’s potential

In this diverse landscape where the coast flows and the bushland grows, many standard project homes just don’t meet what’s needed.

From beautiful vistas to National Parks, the Northern Beaches call for homes that reflect not only the needs of your family, but work with the unique terrain; which is exactly what our knockdown rebuilds offer.

Looking for sustainable balance?

We don’t just build houses; we use expert craftsmanship to design bespoke homes that are environmentally conscious.

Your new home will embrace the environment that surrounds it. We highlight the best aspects through a refined design process and minimise the less favourable.

  • Site orientation and cross-flow ventilation can remove the need for air-conditioning
  • Maximising floor space with flexible plans helps your home adapt as your family’s needs change
  • Expert passive design principles can save energy, water, and make your home comfortable all year round

A journey you’ll enjoy, from concept to construction

Our knockdown rebuild process is smooth and created for your peace of mind. Focus on what matters to you, and we’ll take care of the rest.

Sit back, relax, and let your home take shape in front of you.

01. Initial Meeting

We start with a phone call, allowing us to gather information for a site meeting. We then like to meet on site so we can feel and understand your location. Over approximately 1 hour we’ll discuss your unique needs, ideas, and dream home outcomes, to begin creating a vision for your build.

02. Concept & Proposal Of Works

We’ll create a design brief with our discussed budget in mind. This captures the essence of your new home, setting out rooms, style and size. 

 

You’ll be provided with a detailed Proposal of Works, including kitchen, living, bathroom and alfresco elements, as well as building structure, roofing, internal finishes, plumbing and electrical. We also give you a well-considered cost as a starting guide, which can be refined with your input before the next stage.

03. Designing Your Home

After the concept and Proposal of Works are approved we’ll draft a floor plan, that’s then perfected until it’s exactly what you’re looking for. This is followed by the external look of your home (roof styles, cladding, features, window styles). 

 

We present you with a Comprehensive Inclusions Document, setting the specifications and inclusions of your build and forming part of your Final Building Contract. These details allow us to provide you with a fixed contract price.

04. Tender Acceptance & Development Application

Your Building Contract is prepared for your review - allowing you to read through the Master Builders Association BC4 Contract, the Peninsula Homes Building Agreement and the Contract Plans as one set of documents. Questions are encouraged!

 

Architectural drawings are finalised. If your home is CDC (Complying Development), then the required submission will be given to your chosen Private Certifier for approval. If your home needs DA consent, then our local Town Planner will prepare the submission together with a detailed Statement of Environmental Effects to lodge with the Council.

05. Building Preliminaries

We review the DA conditions and obtain a Construction Certificate from the Private Certifiers. This takes approximately four weeks to complete, and finalisation is required before your building commences. 

 

This is a great time to finalise your moving arrangements; Paul will help coordinate these dates with you.

06. Building Works

Site work begins! As the build progresses we’re here for you, whatever you may need. You’re the most important person on the build site! 


We’ll guide you through any selections you need to make, sourcing samples for you to view, and ensure there’s a strong connection between the aesthetics you like and the practical needs of your home.

07. Handover

It’s the end of a seamless process and the beginning of your new lifestyle! 

 

Once your home is gyprocked we set a handover date, allowing you plenty of time to finalise things like leases, time off work, and removalists for your big day.

 

We’re with you all the way; in these final weeks we continue to meet with you on-site regularly to ensure no details are overlooked, and all of your questions about finishes are answered.

Together we’ll make your new home reflect everything you need.
