I was after recommendations and experiences with knockdown rebuild. I just want a small 3 bed 2 bath. One living and to a tight budget. Any info is great! Thanks
Find a builder and a design that you like. In WA a lot of companies do a Demolish and Build all in the one contract. If you are not organised this maybe the way to go. Speak to the builder and get all your design issues sorted, and what the time lines are for the build to start.
Contact a demolition company/s, that is appropriate for your type of home removal. Questions of correct asbestos removal, or what is salvageable for resale, are good to ask.
In WA, homes need to be baited for 4 weeks prior to the actual demolition. So while your arranging your new home design, this can be commenced with demolition company. The demo company also has to apply for and be approved a demo permit, before any of this starts to happen.
If you are living in your home, then you need to find other accommodation as soon as you have organised the demolition people.
Approval is done for demo, home is baited and sits for 4 weeks, home is demolished.
While this has been happening you have organised your design and building approval etc etc.
The builder will take over the site, once you have had the demolition completed and signed off by council.
We started the process with our builder for design in July 2013
We signed contract in Feb 2014
We had our home physically demolished in Feb 2014 But started that process 6 weeks prior.
Building licence approved in June 2014
Moved into our new home June 2015. Double storey, double brick, concrete slabs upper and lower.
