Frequently asked questions

You Can Learn More From Our Asked Questions

We’ve compiled the most common questions about Custom Homes, Knock Down Rebuilds, and our building process to provide immediate clarity and transparency.
A knock down rebuild involves demolishing your existing home and building a brand-new custom home on the same block. It’s popular for homeowners who love their location but want a modern purpose-built home. You keep the land, avoid stamp duty on a new property, and get a home designed exactly to your needs.
For major renovations involving layout changes, adding a storey, or full modernisation, a KDR is often more cost-effective. Renovating old homes can uncover hidden structural issues, asbestos, and outdated services that quickly blow budgets. A KDR gives you a fixed price and a new home with a builder’s warranty.
A typical KDR takes 14–22 months from first consultation to moving back in — including design (2–3 months), council approval (3–6 months), demolition (2–4 weeks), and construction (8–12 months). Ozzie Dream Homes coordinates all stages including demolition, giving you one point of contact throughout.
Yes — once demolition begins the site will not be habitable. Most clients rent nearby during the build, which typically runs 8–12 months for construction. We provide a realistic timeline at the outset so you can plan your temporary accommodation accordingly.
KDR costs typically include demolition ($15,000–$30,000+), asbestos testing and removal if applicable, council approval fees, and construction costs. Ozzie Dream Homes provides a comprehensive cost breakdown after your initial site assessment so there are no surprises.
Most residential blocks in Sydney are suitable, but site-specific factors — slope, soil type, easements, flood or bushfire overlays, and heritage — can affect feasibility and cost. Ozzie Dream Homes conducts a thorough site assessment before any commitments are made.
Yes. We coordinate the entire demolition process including engaging licensed demolition contractors, managing asbestos testing, disconnecting services, and ensuring all site preparation is complete before construction begins.
A KDR typically requires a DA or CDC for the new build, plus separate demolition approval. In some heritage overlay areas, additional approvals may apply. Ozzie Dream Homes handles all paperwork, council submissions, and compliance requirements.
