Local building codes and regulations

When building a new home in an established area, especially if it involves a demolition, strict adherence to local regulations is essential. These rules cover various aspects, including zoning, bushfire and flooding overlays, waste management, and drainage.

Fortunately, your local G.J. Gardner Homes team is here to manage these complex processes. We work directly with local professionals and provide expert guidance throughout the entire journey. We will guide you through every stage, from the initial assessment and design right through to application processing, demolition, and the final construction of your beautiful new home.

FAQs

  • The knockdown process: what to expect?

    If you like where you are currently living, but not the home you are in, a knockdown rebuild might be an appropriate solution for your family. The process involves pulling down your current house and using that particular area of land to construct a brand new one.

  • Knockdown rebuilds vs renovations

    If you are one of many homeowners who love your neighbourhood but not the house you live in, you will be facing the renovate or knock down dilemma.

    You will find yourself asking: do I undertake a major renovation to add to my existing space? Or do I start from scratch, knock down my house and build my dream home in my favourite location?

    While there is no one-size-fits-all answer, we explore each approach to help you make a well-informed decision about which will work best for you.

  • How much does it cost to knock down and rebuild?

    This can vary significantly depending on the scope of your project. Factors such as the age of the home, whether dangerous materials such as asbestos are present, and the design features of your new home will all play a huge role in the final price.

    For more information about the pricing of your demolition project, you can read our guide here.

  • How long will it take to knock down and rebuild my home?

    While the timeline varies, a rough estimate can usually be placed at around 8-12 months. Elements of the build that can push this estimate out include inclement weather conditions, soil issues, design changes and more.

  • Can I repurpose elements of my current home?

    As part of building a sustainable home, you may feel as though you want to recycle certain parts of your home, such as fittings. As part of the design process for your new home, be sure to discuss the possibility of this with your new home consultant

  • I like my gardens and landscaping. Can the demolition work around this?

    Of course! At G.J. Gardner Homes, we understand that for some, this is one of the core reasons as to why they’ve decided to knock down and rebuild their home in the same spot.

    Every demolition and rebuild is different, and factors such as the amount of available clearance around the block will play into this.
