Things to Keep In View While Rebuilding Your Custom Home
It is not always that you knock down your house and rebuild it. But when you do, you become the homeowner of a new home in a neighbourhood you know well. It is a challenge as also an opportunity to customise everything that reflects your dream and lifestyle.

And you do not need to move somewhere else or undergo the trouble of renovating the house in phases. We at 5 Star Builders can help you with this project. We are a reputed custom new home builder that can help with all manner of residential construction projects.
Benefits A Knockdown Rebuild offers
Leaving a community and amenities you like is a discomforting thought. However, you do not need to forgo the comfort of living in an area you love when you knockdown and rebuild a house. Your family and children remain undisturbed mainly because the kids continue with the same school and the same friends.
- You may be unaware, but knockdown rebuild proves more cost-effective than renovation because you start from scratch. You avoid various complications and the excessive time that renovation involves.
- Based on the design chosen for the new house, the process may be less time consuming than remodelling an existing residence.

- It gives you total freedom to design your house in sync with your needs, lifestyle, and dream. A skilled new home builder would be able to handle every aspect of this job skillfully.
- There are certain structural limitations to remodelling an existing home, and you need to compromise on various aspects. This isn’t something you have to worery about when you opt for a knowckdown rebuild.

Focus on Regulatory Aspects
Before embarking on this project, you must be well- informed about the local council regulations. There are dos and don’ts of demolition and rebuilding a new home. You need to obtain a building permit from the local council or approach a registered private building surveyor to do the job.
Getting a permit to build a house is a lengthy process. The aspects relate to lodging a development application with details of the building process, technical specifications of the project, as also compliance with the building code of Australia (BCA). Get a clear idea from your new home builder about the inclusion of Council approval fees in the project quote provided to you.
