When it comes to creating the ultimate dream home, many people are torn over the decision to renovate or rebuild. Which one is harder on the pocket? Which process will allow them to create a home that perfectly suits their family’s lifestyle?
While there is a perception that renovating is easier and cheaper than the
knockdown rebuild
process, there are often hidden costs to renovating that can see your budget skyrocket quickly.
Too many cooks can spoil
the budget
Your renovation budget can easily escalate thanks to council fees, delays to your Development Application (DA) and a host of other hidden fees.
Renovations also often bring lots of different stakeholders together – builders, plumbers, plasterers, architects, painters etc. Each of these contractors is dependent on the other to keep the timeline running smoothly and to budget.
If you have a blowout in one area, it often means that it will push back the entire renovation. That doesn’t just mean time – it means money.
What’s behind the plasterboard?
If you have negotiated a fixed-price contract with a builder on a renovation, it doesn’t account for unforeseen costs during the build. These often occur during renovations; the older the house, the more likely you’re in for some interesting surprises!
It’s only when you start prying plasterboard off walls or pulling up floors that you might discover termite damage or damp. These “variations” can end up being very expensive indeed. Not to mention the delays to the renovation while they’re fixed.
Demolishing a house and re-building from the ground up allows you to anticipate costs in advance. We’re known for our “新2皇冠mobile Genuine Price”, which factors in
every cost in the knockdown rebuild process
. You won’t sign a contract or put down a deposit until you know every possible cost and “variation” that may occur.
Give yourself the freedom to create your dream home
Demolishing a house and re-building allows you to create a
you
home, within budget, that is the perfect match for your family’s evolving lifestyle. Create
your
dream home, rather than buying somebody else’s!
Control costs with a knockdown rebuild
Choosing to knockdown rebuild on a property that you already own means you will save money on land and moving costs.
You also get to stay in the neighbourhood you know and love and remain close to family and friends, rather than unsettling your family by changing schools and daycare.
You’ve also removed the hassle of selling your home and bypassed stamp duty and real estate fees.
By being in control of the build from the foundations up, you can also save money in ways which are embedded into the property.
For example, you can build a more energy efficient home and save on bills, plus improve your resale value and capital by being thoughtful about the design.
