Why Choose a Knockdown-Rebuild with SJD Homes?

Maximise Your Land’s Potential

A knockdown-rebuild lets you start fresh with a modern layout and energy-efficient features, maximising your land’s potential. This approach avoids the hidden costs and limitations that often come with extensive renovations. You’ll have a brand-new home with all the latest design and technology, tailored to suit your lifestyle.

Avoiding Stamp Duty and Selling Costs

By staying on your current property, you avoid costly stamp duties, real estate fees, and moving costs associated with buying a new home. Instead, you can put those funds directly toward creating your dream home on land you already own.

Design Flexibility and Choice

Unlike a renovation or buying a home, a knockdown-rebuild provides the freedom to select a layout and features that truly fit your needs. From floorplan flexibility to the latest in kitchen, bathroom, and outdoor designs, our experts help you personalise every detail.

What to consider before commencing a Knockdown Rebuild Project

Planning Regulations: The very first thing you should do when considering a Knockdown Rebuild is contact your local council and find out more about your land, if there are any planning zones or overlays affecting it, and any characteristics of your land that may impact the build such as vegetation or overhead power lines.
Street Frontage and Setbacks Consider the size of the block and what is going to work. In most scenarios, your setbacks must match your neighbours. If you want to be further forward, you must apply for Report and Consent approval from your local council.
Site Assessment Easements, the slope of the land, orientation, driveway/crossover position, drainage, accessibility of your site from the street, overhead powerlines, and traffic, can all impact what designs will work on your block and buildability. You can find this information in the Plan of Subdivision of your land and our Building Consultants can help you make sense of the information.

What Will Your Legacy Be?

When you knock down and rebuild, you’re not just creating a beautiful new home—you’re laying the foundation for something greater. You’re crafting a space that reflects who you are today, while shaping the story of tomorrow.

Legacy is more than just a name. It represents the mark you leave behind—the memories made, the values passed on, and the place that becomes part of your family’s history.

This is your chance to design a home that honours the past, celebrates the present, and sets the stage for the future.
With Legacy by SJD Homes, you’re not just building a home. You’re building your legacy.
