Choosing a knockdown and rebuild offers a smarter alternative to renovating or relocating. Here’s why:
Renovations can be costly and disruptive, often requiring compromises. A knockdown and rebuild eliminates the limitations of an old structure, allowing you to create a brand-new home from the ground up.
A newly built home significantly increases property value. Modern designs, energy-efficient materials, and high-quality finishes ensure your investment enhances your lifestyle and offers great resale potential.
While it may seem like a big investment upfront, rebuilding saves money on ongoing maintenance and energy costs. Our homes are designed with superior insulation, solar efficiency, and durable materials, making them cheaper to maintain.
Building regulations and standards have evolved over the years. With a knockdown and rebuild, you’ll get a home built to the latest safety codes, ensuring better insulation, sustainability, and durability.
Nothing is worse than unexpected costs throwing your budget off track. We offer fixed-price contracts at Magic New Family Homes, ensuring transparency from day one.

The cost of a knockdown and rebuild in Melbourne varies based on several factors, including home size, design complexity, site conditions, and finishes. Here’s what you need to consider:
Before rebuilding, your old home needs to be removed. Demolition costs typically range between $10,000 - $30,000, depending on the home’s size, materials, and site access.
The cost of constructing your new home depends on the design, size, and materials used. A standard single-story home can start from $250,000, while a custom double-story home with premium finishes may cost upwards of $500,000.
Melbourne councils require permits for demolition and construction, which can add $5,000 - $10,000 to your budget. However, we handle all approvals to make the process smooth and hassle-free.
This may add extra costs if your land requires excavation, leveling, or additional foundation work. To assess potential site challenges, soil tests, and engineering reports are conducted before construction.
Luxury inclusions such as stone benchtops, high ceilings, smart home technology, and energy-efficient systems can increase costs. We offer tailored packages to help you get the best value within your budget.
Since you’ll need to vacate during the process, consider rental expenses while your home is being built. Some families stay with relatives or find short-term rentals to reduce costs.
