Knockdown Rebuild

To explore the exciting possibilities of a knockdown rebuild package and find out more information, we invite you to visit one of our many display locations across South East Queensland. Immerse yourself in the beauty of our homes and kickstart the conversation with our knowledgeable Building & Design Consultants. They are ready to guide you through the knockdown and rebuild process and answer any questions you may have.

One of our Construction Managers will visit your site to check the suitability of your land for a teardown and rebuild. This includes accessibility for trade deliveries, is electricity underground or overhead, slope of site, traffic, schools, neighbouring lot conditions etc. There are numerous things we must consider.

After discussing your vision with a Brighton Homes Building and Design Consultant and having your site inspected, we’ll then provide you with an initial quote to tear down your house and build new.

The next step of our knockdown rebuild process involves signing your preliminary agreement and paying your initial $3,000 (non-refundable) deposit fee, which secures your quote for 180 days. If you want to make any changes to the design of your home at this point, your quote can be amended.

A meeting will be booked with your Building and Design Consultant so that you can review your Consolidated Tender (CT). Once the CT and any other remaining paperwork has been agreed on and signed, you can move forward with choosing electrical appliances and design details. Your plans will then be drawn.

Your house plan will be ready to review at this stage. If you’re happy with everything, the plan can be signed off on.

This stage of the build involves turning your house into your dream home using MyChoice Design Studio. Including four appointments with Qualified Interior Design Consultants, this is where you will personalise your home.

You will attend a meeting with your Project Coordinator to review and sign your contract. You’ll also attend an electrical appointment on the same day to finalise any upgrades to electrical components.

Once your contract, interior design and electrical components have been finalised, your plans will be lodged with our private certifier to obtain your Building Approval.

At this time, your independent demolishing company can knockdown the existing home and clear the site.

The independent demolishing company you engage will have given you demolition certificates, these are now to be passed onto your contact at Brighton Homes.

We will visit your cleared site for soil and contour reports.

After sending your financial lender a copy of your Building Approval, your lender will provide you with an Authority to Commence Construction letter. You'll be placed on our construction list and will progress to the next step.
