Knockdown & demolition costs

The expenses associated with knocking down an existing home in Canberra

​

From our vast experience in demolishing homes in the Canberra region, the average cost you need to allow for the demolition of your existing home is around $20,000. However, the costs can vary depending on the scale of the existing house, where the property is located and any logistical challenges.

 

The Benefits of Knockdown/Demolition:

​

1. Save time and money by not having to try to find another block of land to build your dream home on.

​

2. No need to pay stamp duty or land tax.

​

3. No need for real estate agents fees, advertising fees, etc.

​

4. Having that feeling of living in an established area.

​

5. Higher resale value in an established area.

Things to consider when comparing our quote with other builders

 

When receiving a quote from a builder on a knockdown/demolition, you need to consider the following factors:

 

1. Inspection and removal of asbestos from your existing home (before the demolition of the property). 

​

2. Disconnection of existing gas lines, water lines and power lines to the property.

​

3. Provide notice to your surrounding neighbours being directly affected by the demolition of the home.

​

4. Approvals and certification by relevant authorities.
