Knockdown & Rebuilds
Knockdown & Rebuild Melbourne | Go Build Custom Homes
Love your location but not your home? A knock down and rebuild in Melbourne is the perfect way to create your dream home without leaving your neighbourhood.
At Go Build Custom Homes, we manage every step of your home rebuild – from demolition permits and planning approvals, to design and construction. You get one team, one contract, and a seamless build process from start to finish.
What Is a Knockdown & Rebuild?
A knockdown rebuild means demolishing your existing home and building a brand-new one on the same block. It’s ideal when your old house no longer fits your needs or lifestyle.
Instead of renovating around existing problems, you start with a clean slate and a new design that’s energy efficient, modern, and made to last. You keep the location you love while gaining a home built for today’s living standards.

Our Knockdown Rebuild Process
Step 1: Site Assessment & Approvals
We begin with a full site inspection, soil testing, and zoning review. Our team works directly with local councils to make sure your project complies with all building codes and council regulations.
Step 2: Permits & Demolition
We organise all planning permits and demolition approvals. Our trusted demolition company safely removes your old home, clears the site, and prepares it for construction.
Step 3: Custom Design Service & Contract Signing
You can create a fully custom layout with our design team to suit your lifestyle. Once plans are final, we move to contract signing, applying for planning/building permits and create a build timeline.
Step 4: Construction & Project Management
Your new home is built by our qualified Melbourne trades using premium materials and proven methods. We manage every stage and keep you updated throughout the build.
Step 5: Handover of Your Dream Home
After final checks and quality assurance, your new home is ready for you to move in. You’ll have peace of mind knowing your home rebuild was managed and built with care from start to finish
Design Options and Floorplans
Every rebuild is different, so design flexibility matters. Go Build Custom Homes offers a range of custom home designs and adaptable floorplans to suit your block, family, and budget.
You can start with collaborating with our designer on a custom design that fits your lifestyle. Our design consultants will help you choose layouts, materials, and finishes that match your vision and meet local building standards.
If you’re unsure where to start, our expert guidance makes the process simple. We’ll help you balance design choices with cost, energy efficiency, and future resale value.
Knockdown Rebuild Costs in Melbourne
The cost of a knockdown and rebuild in Melbourne depends on the size and condition of your existing home, block access, and materials used. Demolition alone can range from $10,000 to $50,000, depending on asbestos, soil, and site preparation needs.
A full home rebuild can be more practical than a major renovation, depending on the condition of the dwelling. You’ll gain a new, low-maintenance home, built to current NatHERS energy standards and tailored to your block.
We provide a clear, fixed-price quote upfront, so there are no surprises during your build.
