What Happens During a Knockdown Rebuild?
Love your location but feel like you've outgrown your home?
For many families in Melbourne's established suburbs, moving isn't the answer. They love their street, local cafés, schools and community, but their existing home no longer suits the way they live.
A knockdown rebuild allows you to create a brand-new home designed around your lifestyle while staying in the location you already love. At Carter Grange, we manage the entire journey from design and approvals through to demolition and construction, making the process straightforward and stress-free.
1. Understanding Your Site
Every project begins with a thorough review of your property. We assess the site, existing conditions and any planning considerations that may influence the design and build process.
2. Designing Your Home
This is where your vision comes to life. Working closely with our design team, you'll create a home tailored to your block, lifestyle and future plans. From natural light and layout to functionality and street appeal, every detail is considered. Carter Grange's design process focuses on creating original homes that respond to both the site and the people who live there.
3. Planning and Approvals
Once your design is finalised, we manage the approvals process, including planning requirements, permits and council considerations, helping move the project towards construction.
4. Preparing the Site
As approvals are completed, arrangements are made to vacate the property and prepare for demolition. Essential services are safely disconnected and the site is made ready for construction.
5. Demolition
The existing home is removed, creating a clean site ready for building. For many homeowners, this marks the point where the future home starts to feel real.
6. Building Your New Home
With the site cleared, construction begins. From the first slab through to handover, our team manages the build while keeping you informed every step of the way.
