The benefits of a knockdown rebuild
Can’t decide on whether to take up renovation, buy an already established residence or start building from the scratch?
Well, Imagine this:
You have been living in a particular neighbourhood for a long time and you have grown to love it, but you have out-grown your house. Sure, you could opt for gut-renovation and compromise on structure, space and floor plan or move out to a new locality, buy a pre-owned/ pre-constructed house there and eventually learn to adjust over time. But there’s another option that allows you to start afresh in the same neighbourhood and build your dream home from the ground-up, on the same block of land: knockdown rebuild.
What would you choose?
Demolishing a home and starting again could seem a bit overwhelming at the start. But as you move ahead in this knockdown rebuild process, you will end up saving a lot of time, stress, effort and money. Knockdown rebuild homes are generally cheaper than extensive renovations and add a serious capital value to your investment portfolio.
The step-by-step knockdown rebuild process
1. Before you begin, you will have to check with your local council that whether or not you can do a knockdown rebuild. If you get a go-ahead, the next step is to understand what permits and approvals are required.
2. For this, you need to hire an expert who is well-versed with the government regulations and the associated formalities. This could be anyone, but it would be better to rely on experienced home builders, as they are the ones who are going to ultimately build your dream home. With this, you will get everything under one roof and it will make the journey smoother.
3. The building specialists will guide and advise you through every step, and also assist you in complying with the council’s regulations. They will conduct necessary inspections and compile a comprehensive report based on the result. This report will then be submitted to the local council to seek the many permits and approvals.
4. Once obtained, you can move on to the next and the most fun part i.e. choosing the design for your new home. At Singh Homes, we offer a range of home designs that suit all lifestyles and stages of life. Our clients can customise their homes according to individual style and preferences and we help them make the right choice in everything.
5. After the planning stage comes the action stage. Now it is time to demolish your current, outdated house. This might be carried out by your builder or by a dedicated demolition expert. Whoever carries it out takes care of the disconnection of utilities like gas, water, electricity etc. and removal of the corresponding infrastructure. For this, the demolition specialists have to notify the concerned companies in time.
6. After the knockdown, the debris from the shattered building is cleared from the site and are proposed for recycling or salvation, depending on the condition of the material.
7. Finally, your beloved block of land is ready to support a fresh construction. Go! Live your dream life in a house designed just for you.
