Knockdown Rebuild
The Process
Step 1: Initial Consultation
You walk through the display home and discuss your plans with our sales consultant. Budget, design, inclusions, facade options and your vision for your new home are documented.
- Preliminary Building Agreement (PBA)
You will be provided with a PBA that states all inclusions, plus a preliminary estimate of price for your new home. - Site Investigations, Soil And Survey Tests
Initial tests and full working drawings are started.
Step 2: Preliminary Tender
Your sales consultant will present working drawings and a preliminary quote for your home. You have an opportunity to confirm your design plans, inclusions, colour selections and any final changes to be made. All engineering structures (site specific) are understood and documented.
Step 3: Final Tender
The final tender is provided, and once agreed upon, it’s time to sign your contract.
Step 4: Building Permits and Construction
Kialla Homes will apply for building permits. Following receipt, construction of your home will begin.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Knockdown Rebuild?
What if my block has access or slope issues?
Are permits and approvals included in the Knockdown Rebuild service?
If your property requires town planning approval, we recommend engaging an independent town planning specialist to manage the planning application and liaise with your local council. Kialla Homes will work with you and your town planner to ensure the home design responds to relevant planning requirements.
Once the necessary planning approvals are in place, Kialla Homes will coordinate the documentation and approvals required to obtain the building permit for construction
Can I customise my Knockdown Rebuild Home?
Absolutely. You can start with one of our existing home designs and modify it to suit your lifestyle, family and block, or work with us to create a custom home design. Our flexible approach means your new home can be designed around the way you want to live rather than trying to make your requirements fit a standard floorplan.
How Much Does A Knockdown Rebuild Cost?
The cost of a knockdown rebuild will depend on the size and design of your new home, site conditions, demolition requirements, access, engineering and the level of finishes you choose. At Kialla Homes, we assess your block and requirements early in the process so we can provide a detailed proposal based on your individual project rather than relying on a generic advertised price.
Do I pay stamp duty on Knockdown Rebuilds?
No, you do not pay stamp duty on a Knockdown Rebuild in Victoria, Australia if you already own the land. However if you are purchasing a property to knock down and rebuild, stamp duty rates will apply.
Is a Knockdown Rebuild better than a renovation?
In many cases, yes. A rebuild allows you to start fresh with a new structural warranty, energy efficiency compliance, and modern layout – often at a similar or lower cost than a large renovation.
