Style Plus Knock Down and Rebuild

With house prices and low stock continuing to frustrate home buyers, more and more people are going for the option of knocking down their existing house and rebuilding. If being able to keep children in existing schools with their friends, or remaining in the general neighbourhood are important to you, you have the option to stay in your current location meaning minimal family disruptions.

Home owners opting to embark on this journey have come to appreciate the expertise that the experienced team at Style Plus offer during this process. The Style Plus team can advise what a knock down and rebuild will involve, finding the right balance between your budget and the features that you want to incorporate in your new home.

Style Plus are finding that the knock down and rebuild option is fast becoming more popular due to a shortage of land in residential suburbs, and it has become obvious that many older homes are on valuable and sought after land. However, these older homes do not offer modern integrated family spaces with good construction techniques and energy efficiencies. Knock down and rebuild means that you do not have to work around existing structures and you do not have to compromise.

The older or more structurally unsound the existing building is, the more the chance of reducing the cost of clearance leaving more money to allocate to architectural design or finishes.

A knock down rebuild would suit homeowners who are maybe not content with a large renovation, with quotes that are fast approaching what a new home build would cost. Another reason they might opt for the knock down rebuild is that their present design or floor plan doesn’t suit the family’s lifestyle. Older construction, materials or techniques, do not perform nearly as well as new products that are now cost effective and widely available, such as double glazing or under floor heating.  Additionally, future proofing your existing home may not be an option due to cost.

Deciding on whether to renovate or rebuild is a big decision and an expensive one, and whichever way you go, it is vital to do your homework or speak with a knowledgeable and experienced builder such as Style Plus, first.
