Why knock down and rebuild?
Choosing to knock down and rebuild is a practical decision for many Australian families. You’ve already built a life in a community you cherish, why throw that away? Your daily routines, your connections, and those little memories attached to your area are invaluable – and you don’t have to say goodbye just because you want a new home.
Stay anchored to the life you love
If your current home’s location is close to your workplace, the kids’ schools, or family, that convenience is priceless. The local parks, the familiar streets, and that cafe down the road where they remember your favourite order — these aren’t just places; they’re a part of your life.
Maximise the potential of your land
Perhaps your old house isn’t fully utilising the potential of the plot. Knocking down and rebuilding allows you to design a home tailored to your family’s evolving needs, ensuring every inch of your land is put to its best use.
Financially savvy
Opting for a knock down rebuild can be a savvy financial move. Moving homes often brings hidden costs like stamp duty and agent fees, while unpredictable expenses may come with renovations. With a knock down rebuild, you sidestep these financial pitfalls. By partnering with Coral Homes, you benefit from our commitment to transparency and upfront pricing, ensuring your investment is maximised without any hidden surprises.
Quality assurance
Instead of battling with old foundations or hidden issues during a renovation, starting anew ensures that every part of your home meets modern standards. Remember, at Coral Homes, we employ a rigorous seven-step quality assurance process, including an independent quality inspection, to ensure your new home stands the test of time.
A fresh start in a familiar place
Experience the excitement of a brand-new home, tailored to your desires, all while remaining in the neighbourhood you’ve come to adore. It’s like getting the best of both worlds, with none of the hassle of moving.
So, if you’re thinking about a change, why not add value to your land with a knock down rebuild? It’s not just about a new house—it’s about crafting a home that complements your life, today and in the future. With Coral Homes by your side, you’re choosing an award-winning builder you can count on. Experience the Coral Homes difference.

Knockdown Rebuild Process
1. Choose your home design
Whether you’ve outgrown your old home and are looking to upsize, or if you simply love where you live but your home no longer suits your lifestyle – a knock down and rebuild could be the perfect solution.
With a wide range of flexible floorplans to suit various block sizes, our experienced specialists will assist you every step of the way with choosing a home design that complements your land.
Our friendly New Home Consultants will advise you on the size of the house versus the size of the block and whether you will need a relaxation for setbacks or site coverage. This plays a large role in attaining building approvals.
2. Free Site Assessment
Once you’ve chosen your desired home design, our team will complete a free site assessment to ensure your block is suitable for a knock down and rebuild. From here, we’ll provide you with an estimate with no deposit required upfront.
You will also need to speak to a demolition and removal expert to choose a partner for this part of your knock down and rebuild project.
3. Preliminary reports
After you have decided to proceed with your estimate and an initial deposit has been received, we will come to your block to complete a preliminary soil test, contour and other reports to determine the suitability and any foreseeable barriers that may impact the project. We will also attain a service locator report from an engineer to confirm the location of your underground main services.
4. Your tender and house plans are prepared
Once you are happy with and have signed the preliminary agreement, a tender is prepared. These will include all your preliminary house plans that will take into account any changes that may be been required to suit the findings from the various land reports.
Once these are finalised and approved by you, an additional $1,000 deposit is payable to order your formal HIA contract.
5. Sign your HIA contract
Congratulations! This is a huge milestone for you and your family and marks the official start of building your new home with Coral Homes. At this stage we present you with your full working drawings which will include any of your changes, facade selections and inclusions. The contract will include fixed price site costs as determined by your soil test and contour survey reports.
6. Personalise your future home
We will work closely with you to collate the following information:
- Proof of your land ownership i.e. rates notice
- All signed variations to your house plans. This will only be applicable if there are changes to your plans after contract signing
- Unconditional loan approval, including Authority to Commence Construction.
7. Demolish your existing home
It falls apart before it all comes together! Now that the building approval for your new home has been received, you can commence demolition works of your existing home and remove any trees from the land that will be necessary for building your new home.
Once your site has been completely cleared, Coral Homes will complete a second soil report and contour survey now the site conditions have changed. Based on this information, we will do a second check to re-assess the site costs.
8. Build your new home
It’s finally time to start building your dream home!
Coral Homes will project manage the entire build, trades, temporary fencing, final site works and more. Your dedicated Site Supervisor will meet you on site to discuss all aspects of constructing your new home and answer any questions you may have.
From here, your Site Supervisor will provide you with weekly updates on the progress and timeline of your new home build.
9. Receive the keys to your new home
Your Building Supervisor will arrange a meeting with you on site to officially handover your new home. Congratulations!
At the handover meeting, your Building Supervisor will take you through your new home and provide helpful advice, guidance and demonstrations for important matters including electricals, your foundations, general safety, pest control and proper care of your inclusions.
Finally, it’s time to pack your bags, get the keys to your new home, start planning your housewarming party and celebrate your big achievement!
