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 Beachwood New Home Consultants. 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 dependant on the design collection chosen), this will allow us to finalise the sales phase and move forward with the process.

Unfortunately, there are many variables that 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).
