Frequently asked questions

How does knockdown rebuild work?

Knockdown-rebuild involves demolishing an existing structure and constructing a new home in its place. It allows homeowners to refresh outdated spaces, customise designs to their preferences, and maximise the potential of their property while avoiding the complexities of moving.

How long does a knockdown rebuild take?

The duration of a knockdown-rebuild project varies depending on factors such as the size and complexity of the new home, site conditions, and planning and permitting processes. On average, a knockdown-rebuild can take anywhere from 12 to 15 months.

How do I choose the best builder for a knock down rebuild?

Choosing the best builder for a knockdown-rebuild involves careful research and consideration. Start by assessing the builder’s experience in knockdown-rebuild projects, their portfolio, and client testimonials. Look for builders with a strong track record, relevant licenses, and affiliations with industry associations.

The Knockdown Rebuild Process

From concept to construction, each stage by
Varcon Group brings your vision to life.

Step 01

Feasibility study

Before your project commences you will have a consultation with our seasoned Design Manager to ensure the seamless realisation of your concept. The preliminary feasibility study encompasses a comprehensive evaluation, an analysis of your overarching concept, an in-depth review of specifications, and an assessment of engineering drawings. Here we ascertain the precise prerequisites for your project and an approximate estimation of construction expenses.

Step 02

Design Brief and Specifications

Varcon Group will examine your design specifications to ensure the utmost precision and attentiveness to your requirements. In partnership with the architect, we undertake a review of your project brief, leaving no detail unattended – even down to the precise location you envisage for your morning coffee. Our commitment to excellence extends to every facet of your project.

Step 03

Designs

At Varcon Group, we hold the design process in high regard, offering the option to incorporate your design or provide a bespoke one if preferred. Our approach encompasses sketches, floorplans, spatial connectivity, three-dimensional perspectives, and delineation of areas and room allocations. Our commitment is to ensure that your design can be effectively translated into actionable plans.

Step 04

Working drawings

Working drawings include architectural dimensions, adjusting sizes, construction methods and other specifications. These are given to the construction team to understand any specifications before the design team finalise the drawings.

Step 05

Estimate

Once your drawings are finalised, we will provide you with a project cost estimate that aligns with the budget range you’ve indicated. Our commitment to transparency entails keeping you informed at every stage, and any potential budget adjustments will be thoroughly discussed with you before any implementation.

Step 06

Demolition

Not only will we take care of the design and build of your new home, but we will also manage the removal of your old one. Entrusting this process to our reliable demolition partner, we alleviate the burden by facilitating the necessary demolition permit on your behalf. This approach ensures a hassle-free experience throughout your project.

Step 07

Build

Upon the finalisation of contracts, plans, and design, the construction phase commences. As the building process unfolds, the complete essence of the design materialises, and we can finally see your dreams and hard work come to fruition by our skilful trades.

I would like to thank the staff at Varcon for the quality of work, support and service they have provided throughout the entire building process. This is the second home we have built with Varcon and once again we are very happy with the end result. I would highly recommend Varcon to anyone considering building a new home. I would especially like to thank our building supervisor Mark Borg for his exceptional service, support and attention to detail.

We chose Varcon to build our first home and we couldn’t be happier with the result. From the start the team was incredible responsive and collaborative and made the entire process much easier than previous builders we had engaged. The end result is a house we couldn’t be happier with. I’d recommend Varcon to anyone looking to build their dream home.
