Knockdown And Rebuild To Stay Where You Are

Stay where you love. Live how you want.
If your block is perfect but your house no longer fits, a knockdown rebuild lets you start fresh on the same land. We handle everything, from feasibility and approvals to demolition and a turnkey new home.
You keep your address, schools, and the community you value, without the compromises of a renovation.

Why A knockdown rebuild instead of renovating?

  • Keep the location you love while upgrading every square metre
  • Design for your life: plan, flow, storage, and features your old home can’t support
  • Modern performance: energy efficiency, insulation, glazing, smart systems
  • Cost control: fewer unknowns than major renovations with hidden structure issues
  • Increase value on a desirable block with a new, architecturally led home

Why Choose Phase Projects for Your KDR?

We work across the Eastern Suburbs, Inner West, and Southern suburbs down to the Sutherland Shire.
Where land is scarce, we design smarter, with split levels and where appropriate we can add roof top living as well as basements to reclaim outdoor space and add parking, storage, gyms, or cinemas (subject to council controls).

Ready to explore your block’s potential?

Bring your ideas or existing plans. We’ll map the approvals pathway, timeline, and budget drivers and show you how to get the most from your land, without leaving your neighbourhood.

What we manage (end-to-end)

  • Site due diligence, surveys, soil testing, and service checks
  • Concept design, budgeting, and value engineering
  • DA/CDC strategy, BASIX, reports (bushfire, flood, acoustic)
  • Demolition approvals and licensed removal (including asbestos management)
  • Construction certificate, engineering, Sydney Water approvals

Important considerations For Building Development in Sydney

  • Demolition scope & cost vary with house size, access, materials, and hazardous materials removal
  • Approvals pathway: DA vs CDC depends on zoning, height, setbacks, streetscape, flooding, heritage
  • Site conditions (rock, fall, drainage) shape design and budget—testing early removes surprises
  • Temporary accommodation may be needed during demolition and build
  • Future flexibility: plan for multi-generational living, rental potential, or resale from day one

We were introduced to Mohamed and his team through a friend who had completed a two-storey extension with him. From that moment, we knew he would be our builder of choice. Mohamed approaches each project as if he’s building his own home — the care, precision, and pride he takes in his work is truly exceptional. Throughout the entire process, we always felt that he was more focused on how we felt and on achieving the outcome we wanted, rather than treating it as just another project. Our only regret is not involving him from the very beginning to manage the design and approval process. Despite coming in later, the Phase team helped us finalise the administrative requirements to get our approval. As soon as we had approval, the team got straight to work. The build was completed to a high standard, and we were so impressed that we ended up expanding the scope along the way. Mohamed and his team delivered a full extension, including a new attic, kitchen, additional bedroom, bathroom, laundry, and a spacious family room at the rear — along with a new garage and concrete driveway. The finishes were fantastic, and we were genuinely pleased with the constant communication throughout the build. We always felt informed and involved, which made the entire experience even more reassuring. We’re now planning to renovate the front of our home early next year, and there’s no question — we’ll be going with Phase Projects again. The aftercare has also been exceptional. While others share horror stories about their building experience, ours was a dream. We honestly can’t relate.

I can only say wonderful things about our experience with Phase! They are passionate, patient, knowledgeable and incredibly dedicated to their work and their clients. We had about an 18 month journey with Mohamed and team from the design process through to the completion of our beautiful custom build. We could not be happier with their service and their team and would highly recommend them when building your custom home.

Building our new home was a significant journey, and we extensively researched various builders, including some of the larger project home builders. Ultimately, we chose a boutique builder that would be personally involved on-site and deeply familiar with every aspect of our project. We were not interested in a production line approach. One of the standout benefits was the ease of communication. We could call or email anytime and receive prompt responses. Additionally, we had the freedom to choose materials beyond a predetermined range from their warehosue. Even their suppliers were accommodating; if we didn’t find what we liked, we could suggest our preferred suppliers. This flexibility was invaluable. We wanted to be hands-on with our interior selections and layout without incurring excessive costs for interior designers. An architectural interior designer assisted us with layouts and drawings, but we managed the material selection ourselves. This option, provided by Phase, not being limited to a few choices, was particularly appealing. The open line of communication and transparency were consistent throughout the process. We had regular on-site meetings, which kept us informed and involved. We are extremely happy with the finished product. The handover was seamless, and we couldn’t be more satisfied with our new home.

We had a seamless experience with this experienced builder. A known industry professional who bought our dream home to life. Mohammed and his team were very respectful of our home and our space and made every effort to deliver on all their promises. His knowledge and networking was admirable and we always felt at ease knowing we were in such experienced hands. We were building during covid lockdown and had multiple other unavoidable hurdles along the way. Our builder navigated us through it all with professionalism and class. Our home is everything we ever dreamed of and more. We couldn’t be happier with the whole experience and Phase projects delivered exceptionally. Highly recommended!

I reached out to Phase based on several trusted recommendations from industry trades. From our first meeting, I was immediately impressed by Mohamed's organisation, knowledge, and passion for his work. Throughout my project, Phase demonstrated exceptional site management, attention to detail, and expertise in design, construction, and trades. Phase's dedication to the build and commitment to scheduling is truly professional. Mohamed has a remarkable ability to troubleshoot and address any issues or deficiencies that arise. Phase prioritises customer service and client satisfaction, both during and after project completion. I highly recommend their quality workmanship.

We had the very best experience with Phase. From the first meeting, we knew we were in good hands. This team truly cares about what they do and takes pride in their work. We hired Phase to do our renovations and first-floor extension, a project many builders before them said couldn’t be done due to the timber-clad structure downstairs and concerns about the footing's strength. However, with the help of Mohamed and his design team, they made it possible, and we got our DA approval seamlessly. The builder and contractors were all lovely and very respectful of our space. They were honest and incredibly helpful when we had questions about fixtures, fittings, and materials. The process was completely stress-free for us, though we imagine it might not have been for them at times, but you wouldn't know it from their professionalism! Nothing was ever too hard for them, and they were very easy to talk to and deal with We couldn’t be happier with the end result, and the great energy they brought to our house lives on in our walls. We are very grateful.

The team completed the work within the promised timeframe, which was impressive and greatly appreciated. What stood out the most was their extensive knowledge and professionalism.

The final result exceeded our hopes, and we are absolutely delighted with our new home. We wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone considering any building work. Their commitment to customer satisfaction and the quality of their work is truly exceptional.

Knock Down And Rebuild FAQ’s

Got another question? Please reach out to us!
After 20 years of building homes in Sydney, we have built all sorts of homes and dealt with all planning, design and approval scenarios!

A knockdown rebuild involves demolishing your existing house and constructing a brand-new custom home on the same block. It allows you to stay in the location you love while upgrading to a modern, functional home.

If asbestos is present, it must be safely removed by licensed professionals before demolition can proceed. We arrange all necessary assessments and removal.

Renovations often come with hidden costs and limitations due to the existing structure. A knockdown rebuild gives you a fresh start with a brand-new design, often proving more cost-effective than extensive renovations.

Often, yes. It eliminates the costs of stamp duty, agent fees, and relocating. Plus, you get a home built exactly to your needs in your existing location.

No, you’ll need to move out during demolition and construction. Many clients choose to rent or stay with family for the duration of the build.

Absolutely. From floor plans to finishes, your new home is completely tailored to your lifestyle, block, and budget.

Absolutely. Many of our clients use basement space for gyms, saunas, wine cellars, cinemas, or extra storage, as long as it meets council requirements.

Yes, a brand-new custom home typically adds significant value, especially in sought-after Sydney suburbs where land is at a premium.

Yes, most projects require council approval or a Complying Development Certificate (CDC). We guide you through the entire approval process.

Costs vary depending on your block, design, finishes, and any site complexities. We provide a tailored, transparent proposal after a detailed site inspection and consultation.
