Like all large projects, there comes a myriad of questions, considerations and people involved in a knockdown, rebuild development. Aspire Designer Homes has been working with industry professionals for many years to offer our clients the convenience of a “one stop shop.” We work alongside town planners and designers to ensure that town planning considerations are at the forefront of our early conversations and we simplify the language that can become confusing for you.
Aspire’s Special Project and Construction team will support you every step of the way.
Specialists and Solutions for:
You enjoy where you live but your home is outdated or you may have simply outgrown it.
Knockdown and Rebuild involves demolishing an existing structure and constructing a new home in its place. It is a great opportunity to expand on equity you may already have in your property.
The benefit of a knockdown and rebuild is that you start with a clean canvas and can custom design a new home with your lifestyle at the forefront, both now and in the future. Aspire Designer Homes can support you with any questions you have on the Knockdown and Rebuild process.
There are several steps in preparing to build your new home when an existing structure is present. A guideline for planning a custom home, demolishing the current home and then building a new home ready for you to move in would be 18 months to 2 years. Of course, there are many variables and considerations that need to be reviewed case by case. Our team are available to guide you with timelines for your project to assist your planning.
There are many great builders around therefore it is important that you choose one that can support you with the important outcomes you are wanting to achieve in your new home, particularly if an off the shelf design may not be the best option.
For example, if you have a sloping block or are in an area with built up traffic or an irregular shape, or restricted by Town Planning requirements, you will be best to work with a builder that specialises in working with complex blocks and custom design to support you with your building project.
It will depend on the Planning overlays that apply to your land. In general, if a new home can be built within the requirements of the zoning and other neighbourhood considerations outlined by local shire, only a build permit will be needed.
As part of our early review of your land, we will identify if there will be any Town Planning applications required and will suggest ways to avoid them if possible. If Town Planning is needed, we will introduce you to some of our trusted and experienced industry partners to support this part of your building project.
Aspire Designer Home’s special project team can guide you through the considerations specific to your property, including a full assessment of your local council’s planning scheme requirements.
