The knockdown rebuild process
Undertaking a knockdown rebuild is very exciting, but it’s also a complex process. You can rest assured that when you choose Beachwood Homes, the knockdown rebuild specialists, you’ll be in safe hands. And it all begins here.
Your first step to building your new home!
Your first meeting will be with one of our New Home Consultants at Beachwood. During your first appointment, your New Home Consultant will show you through our homes on display and discuss what you’re looking for in your new home. An initial evaluation will be provided on your block of land, to determine suitability for Beachwood Homes. If you already have a design in mind, your consultant will be able to explore all possibilities with you in terms of floor plan layouts, inclusions, facades, and upgrades.
Your New Home Consultant will work with you to confirm your final home design and facade choice together with any upgrades and structural changes. You will then be provided with an Initial Sales Quote.
After your Initial Sales Quote and block of land have been assessed by our Estimating Team, a Final Sales Quote) will be provided to you. Once you have accepted the Finals Sales Quote, signed the Preliminary Works Agreement and provided payment of the Associated Fee (the amount dependent on the design collection chosen), this will allow us to finalise the sales phase and move forward with the process.

To start the process, we simply need you to confirm your site address & your vision of requirements for your new home. Leave the rest to us. Please contact us or call 9770 8806 to speak to one of our New Home Consultants to get things started.
A soil test examines the properties of the soil on your block of land, which in turn enables us to design the proper foundations. A feature survey is a scale drawing of the site showing land features, service connections, easements and setbacks, and any other points of interest. Both the soil test and feature survey are performed before and after demolition to finalise the cost of your new home.
Traffic will only be affected during certain stages of your demolition and construction. Particularly if you are around shops or schools, traffic will need to be managed during major delivery and removal phases. We are happy to assist you with costings for traffic management during the course of construction and your demolition company will advise of any traffic management requirements during the knock-down process.
As the owner of your property, demolition is your responsibility. However, our team can guide you through the process.
Yes, you will need a permit from your local municipality. However, your demolition contractor will organise the permit for you.
Each site needs to be evaluated individually.
Particularly with a knockdown rebuild project, you’ll have to include the cost of your demolition in your overall budget. Many variables can affect the price of your demolition job, including Hazardous Materials removal, location of electrical/waste management infrastructure, proximity of neighbouring structures, land overlay, and your environment (e.g. established trees may need consultation with the local council/arborist).
Contact your demolition contractor and they will be able to organise a full quote for you. We can always help by recommending a reputable demolition contractor to you.
Our knockdown rebuild team can also help you estimate total costs for your knockdown rebuild project. Please contact us or call 9770 8806 to speak to one of our professional Sales Consultants for more information.
