If you love your Adelaide neighbourhood but are tired of your old home, knockdown and rebuild could be the best option for you for a number of reasons. Here are the perks of knockdown rebuild homes:
Endless Possibilities
Where home renovation provides limited flexibility, you have no boundaries with an empty piece of land.
Move Early
Surprisingly, rebuilding is much faster than home renovation. So, you can move into a new home much earlier!
Higher Resale Value
Obviously, a newly built house has a much higher market value than an older one that has just been remodelled.
Latest Materials
From bricks to the wiring to everything else, your home would have all the trending elements and be energy-efficient too.
Affordable
Rebuilding a home is found to be more affordable than repairing and renovating what was built so many years ago.
Define Your Style
Create a completely new home that defines your personal style, with no mismatched areas that don’t fit the home into a single aesthetic.
When thinking of knocking down and rebuilding a home, it is obvious to have clarity in mind, like how long it would take. Of course, you want to move into your house as early as possible.
However, there isn’t a straightforward answer, as the entire process can take anywhere from nine months to a year, plus the time for planning approval. This time period can vary depending on factors like
- Approval of local planning
- Tree and other plantation removal
- Site of the project
- And much more.
- Old structure size
- Council permits
- Soil condition
- Weather conditions

Antilia Homes follows a structured process to ensure your knockdown and rebuild project stays on track, from initial inspection to handing over the keys to your new house. Here is our knockdown rebuild homes process:
After you enrol for our knockdown and rebuild service, our team will visit your site to inspect your property and its potential to deliver your dream home. We’ll examine it by considering parameters like the land’s slope, the placement of trees and other services, the accessibility for deliveries and trade, and the rules set forth by the local council.
Initial Site Assessment
After you enrol for our knockdown and rebuild service, our team will visit your site to inspect your property and its potential to deliver your dream home. We'll examine it by considering parameters like the land's slope, the placement of trees and other services, the accessibility for deliveries and trade, and the rules set forth by the local council.
Initial Planning Evaluation
One of our planning or design consultants would provide you with complete guidance regarding the actual feasibility of your knockdown and rebuild project. Along with this, we will grasp your vision as well as your budget for the project.
- Site-specific build costs
- Value package options
- Custom design considerations
- Local council requirements
If our proposal looks good to you, we can move on to the next steps.
- Flooring option
- Kitchen layout and appliances
- Lighting placements
- Stair configurations
- Other structural and aesthetic features
Each and every element is discussed and customised to sort out the home design that is not only practical but also compliant with Adelaide regulations.
It is important to understand that the council may request additional documents or make minor plan changes.
Once the contract is completed, we will apply for the building permit. Keep in mind that the council can request additional information again at this point. So you have to collaborate with us for the same.
- Clearing the existing structure safely and in compliance with regulations
- Assign our crew for the demolition of the old structure.
- Involving subcontractors and vendors
- Ordering the required fixtures and materials
- Finalising logistics
When everything is in order, we will give you a starting date for the construction.
The construction process varies as per the design but mainly includes
- Framing
- Brickwork
- Site work
- Roofing
- Interior fit-outs
- and more.
After the house is completely constructed, you can inspect it to see if it meets your expectations.
Our team will hand over the keys to your house, and it is ready for you to truly make it a home.
Adelaide Focused
Our services are optimised with the Adelaide climate, council regulations, and lifestyle needs in mind.
Pre-designed Floor Plans
We have hundreds of pre-designed home designs that can be customised as per your demands, style and aesthetics.

How long will it take to knock down and rebuild homes?
Usually, it can take around 9 to 12 months to knock down and rebuild homes. However, bad weather, problems with the soil, design modifications, and other factors can push it further.

Usually within a month.

The cost of a knockdown & rebuild home in Adelaide can generally range from $400,000 to $850,000, or more. The final knockdown rebuild price depends on several factors, including the age and complexity of the existing home, your chosen home design and features, and site-related building costs.
