Renovating your existing home can often be costly and time-consuming. Unexpected issues, such as structural problems or outdated wiring, can significantly increase the budget and timeline.
A knock-down rebuild, on the other hand, offers a fresh start and the opportunity to create a home that is not only a better reflection of your needs, but is built to last.

Knock down Rebuild FAQs
Mojo won’t complete the demolition of an existing home. We highly recommend you engage and reputable and experienced contractor to conduct your demolition.
The most important thing is ensuring the contractor is appropriately licensed and qualified to complete the works. You should ensure they have a demolition plan, demolition licence and demolition supervisor license. As well as ensuring a qualified professional has inspected your home for asbestos.
Some questions you can ask the demolition companies are:
Have you done any demolitions in this area? If so, can I speak with those customers?
Within the demolition price are you removing all the footings and underground services, including storm water, gas, electrical?
My builder requires a clearance certificate – can you provide this?
If we’re required to import fill, we will need a VENM or ENM certificate - can you provide this?
We also recommend you speak to the Department of Fair Trading to see if they’re a reputable demolition contractor as every demolition must be registered with the Department of Fair Trading.

Renovating can often actually end up more expensive per square metre than building a new home. It can also throw up a load of surprise costs, particularly if structural changes are needed.
A new home offers a blank canvas for both your inclusions AND floorplan, meaning you can be sure your home will suit your needs for many years to come.
The purpose of the initial quote is to identify compliance and determine the best planning pathway (local council or CDC). It helps identify or confirm that your preferred design is suitable for your block of land, and gives a great expectation on the overall cost to construct your new home.
You will need permission for both the demolition of your existing home and construction of your new home, this can be done via local council or CDC. Once you have received your demolition approval, Mojo will then submit your construction approval.
The time it takes to complete a knock down rebuild project can vary depending on a number of factors, including:
- The size of the build: A larger build will obviously take longer to complete than a smaller one.
- Local planning approval: The time it takes to obtain planning approval can vary depending on the local council and the complexity of the project.
- Council permits: In addition to planning approval, you may also need to obtain other permits, such as a building permit or a demolition permit.
- Soil conditions and site conditions: The condition of the soil and the site itself can also impact the time it takes to complete the project. For example, if the soil is unstable or there are large rocks on the site, it will take longer to prepare the site for construction.
- Tree removal: If there are any trees on the site that need to be removed, this can add to the overall project time.
- Demolition and site preparation: Demolition and site preparation can also add to the overall project time. This includes disconnecting and removing any existing services, such as water, gas, and electricity.
- Weather and supply chain impacts: Weather conditions and supply chain disruptions can also impact the time it takes to complete the project. For example, if there is a prolonged period of wet weather, construction may be delayed. Similarly, if there are supply chain disruptions, it may be difficult to obtain the necessary materials, which can also delay construction.
In general the knock down rebuild pre-construction process can take around 12 months, while construction can take on average 30 weeks. However, it is important to note that this is just an estimate and the actual time it takes to complete your project may vary. Visit a display and talk to a specialist to begin planning for your particular requirements.
