Whether you’re rebuilding on the block you already own, or you’ve found the right street with the wrong house on it, a knockdown rebuild lets you build a brand new home exactly where you want to live. We take on a limited number each year, so you deal with the same people from your first conversation to the day you get your keys.
Is a Knockdown Rebuild right for you?
You love your location, but your home no longer suits your lifestyle.
Renovating feels like a compromise, not a long-term solution.
You want a brand new home with a lifetime structural guarantee and 12 month maintenance period.
Your block has strong potential with the right design.
You want one team managing the entire process from start to finish.
Why knock down and rebuild?
Most people arrive here from one of three places: a house they’ve outgrown, a renovation quote that got out of hand, or a block they’ve bought for its street rather than its house. A rebuild answers all three.
Renovate
Suits homes with good structure and small changes needed
Layout is limited by what’s already there
Costs firm up as walls come down, not before
Energy performance stays close to the old home
Rebuild
Suits homes where the layout no longer works, or where the old house has simply had its day
Designed for the way you live now, on the block you already own
Fixed-price contract before construction starts
7-star energy rating, new warranties, lifetime structural guarantee
How a knockdown rebuild works with Vero
You’ll always know what happens next, what it costs, and who’s taking care of it. Here are the key stages. Our Journey guide walks through every one in detail.
Stage 1
Preliminary estimate
We assess your block and your design, and prepare a clear picture of your build cost before you commit to anything.
Stage 2
Preliminary Works Agreement
$3,500, credited to your deposit. We order your soil test, surveys and property information, and begin your drawings.
Stage 3
Design & Selections Day
One session at our studio: your drawings, your interior selections and your electrical plan, decided together.
Stage 4
Final tender & contract
Your confirmed pricing, itemised, including final site costs. Then your fixed-price MBAV building contract, signed together.
Stage 5
Pre-construction & demolition
Building permit, approvals and demolition. You can arrange demolition yourself, or ask us to manage the entire knockdown.
Stage 6
Construction
Base, frame, lockup, fixing, completion. A dedicated site supervisor and inspections at every stage.
Stage 7
Handover & aftercare
Your new home is complete and ready to live in — backed by a lifetime structural guarantee, 12 month maintenance period and ongoing support.
RECENLTY COMPLETED
A knock down rebuild on a street the owners already loved.
For this Essendon family, the decision wasn’t about finding a new address. The original home came down, and in its place we built our Nova floorplan behind the Aura facade, designed for their life today, without giving up the location that made it home in the first place.
