A new home, in the place you know.
A knock down rebuild replaces an existing house with a new home on the same site. Summerland Homes offers this building option across Sydney for people who want to keep their location while changing how their home works.
Keep the location in the brief.
The familiar street, the journey to school, the garden you look out towards. The reasons for staying are useful design information. A new plan can start with those things and work through the parts of the existing home that no longer suit daily life.
Understand the existing site.
A rebuild begins with more than an empty floor plan. Access, existing structures, services and the proposed new home all need to be considered. Bring the documents you already have and discuss which further investigations are needed. The demolition scope, site work, approvals and construction responsibilities need to be clarified for the particular property.
Give the new home its own purpose.
Use the opportunity to describe how you want the rooms to connect, where you want privacy and how the home should meet the outdoors. Our custom home approach starts with that living brief. The Premium concept and material selections can help you explain the direction you have in mind.
Plan the practical details together.
Before settling the project, discuss what the proposal includes, what remains to be assessed and how the sequence fits your household. Budget and timing depend on the site and agreed work. A first conversation is the place to bring those constraints into view, including where you intend to live while the old house is replaced.
