Reimagine your Home, Right Where you are

Still in love with your home, but don’t want to renovate? A knockdown and rebuild project could be the perfect solution.

At Nice Builds, we specialise in knockdown rebuilds across Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Ipswich, Logan, Moreton Bay and more—helping you and your family stay in the neighbourhood you love while also upgrading to a brand new home tailored to your lifestyle.

Why Knock down and Rebuild?

A knock down and rebuild involves demolishing your existing home and building a brand new one in its place. This will allow you the convenience of staying at the same location you grew up in and build a new modern house that perfectly suits your lifestyle.

Whether you’re dealing with an outdated layout, costly repairs, or simply want a more modern design, knocking down your old house and building a new one is often more cost-effective than renovating. So, knock down and rebuild is sometimes the best choice over renovation.

  • Avoid relocation costs
  • Maximise the value of your land
  • Upgrade to modern living standards
  • Stay close to schools, work, and family
  • Build an energy-efficient and future-ready home

Our Knockdown Rebuild Process

The Knockdown Rebuild process with Nice Builds is designed to make starting fresh simple and stress-free. From removing your old home to designing and building a brand-new one tailored to your needs, every step is handled with precision, care, and your vision in mind.

1

Initial Consultation & Site Assessment

Your journey of knockdown rebuild starts with a friendly consultation. We take the time to understand your goals, lifestyle, and ideas for your dream home. We’ll also arrange a favourable time to conduct a thorough site assessment to examine your current property. We do this to review factors like zoning restrictions, land slope, access to services, and council regulations. This will help to ensure the suitability of the land for the build and avoid any surprises down the track.

2

Design & Customisation

Once we’re sure that the knockdown rebuild is the right way to go, then it's time to start designing your dream home. We have a wide selection of designs that are crafted by experts. We’ll guide you through the entire design process to ensure that your new home not only suits the block but also reflects your style and inspiration.

3

Quotation & Contract

Once you’re satisfied with the design and customisation, we will provide you with a fixed-price quote. The quotation will outline everything that’s included, from site preparation and build costs to finishes and final touches. Once you’re ready to move forward, we’ll finalise the building contract. At this stage, we’ll also start preparing documents for council approval and take care of additional reports or surveys needed for compliance.

4

Demolition Planning

Now that the paperwork is underway, we turn our focus to the preparation for the demolition of your existing home. To remove your current home, we’ll arrange for licenced demolition professionals to ensure everything is handled safely and efficiently. We’ll also coordinate the disconnection of utilities such as electricity, gas, and water before the demolition. Once we get the clearance from the council, we’ll begin the demolition.

5

Site Preparation & Approvals

Following demolition, the site is cleared and prepared for construction. We need to ensure that everything is structurally sound, so we carry out soil testing, contour surveys, and slab preparation. Based on the results, if any updates are needed to the plans, then we’ll handle them swiftly. Then, final building approvals are lodged, and once approved, we’re ready to move into construction.

6

Construction Begins

With approvals in place, we start the construction process of your brand-new home. From laying the slab to installing the kitchen and flooring, every stage is carried out with care, quality, and transparency. We also welcome your involvement throughout the building journey. You will be updated by our site managers on every key milestone.

7

Final Inspection & Handover

As we come near to the completion, we invite you to a final walkthrough. During this inspection, we address any finishing touches or concerns you may have. Once everything meets our standards as well as yours, we’ll complete the final handover. You’ll receive your keys, your warranties, and all necessary certifications and documents.

How Much Does a Knock Down Rebuild Cost in Brisbane?

The cost of a knock down and rebuild project in Brisbane typically ranges from $30,000 to $ 800,000+, depending on your design, land condition, site access, demolition fees, and inclusions. 

Compared to the cost of buying a new land and paying for stamp duty, a knockdown rebuild offers better value.

Knockdown Rebuild or Renovation?

You might be wondering what might be right for you—knockdown rebuild or renovation. While both have their own place, it really depends on what you want to achieve, given the condition of your current home, budget and style.

Renovations are great if you’re currently happy with the structure of your home and just want to expand, modernise, or refresh certain parts of your home. It’s often faster and costs less upfront. Renovation also preserves the sentimental value of your home, which is pretty important for some people.

On the other hand, a knockdown rebuild makes more sense when your home has major structural issues, or you want to completely change the layout or size of the house. If you’re after a modern design, better energy efficiency, and fewer maintenance worries, then a knockdown rebuild would be the best choice. This also applies when renovations could cost almost as much as a new build.
