Knockdown Rebuilds in Melbourne
Love the location but not the house? A knockdown rebuild gives you a brand-new, architect-designed home without leaving the street. Build One manages the whole process, from demolition through to handover, across Melbourne's best suburbs. Our own carpenters build it and our own joinery workshop fits it out.
What we manage
- Demolition and site preparation: permits, service disconnections, demolition and site set-up.
- Design with your architect: early cost planning so the design is buildable and on budget.
- Permits and approvals: planning and building permits coordinated with your design team.
- The full build: structure to finishes, with one team accountable from start to end.
Why Build One
- Our own carpenters. Your home is framed and finished by tradespeople we employ, not subcontractors we met last week.
- In-house joinery. Kitchens, wardrobes and built-ins come from our sister company, ARKO Joinery, keeping quality and timing under one roof.
- Early involvement. We work with your architect or designer from the start, picking up cost issues before they're locked into the drawings.
- Fixed-price or cost-plus — your choice. We'll walk you through both and recommend the contract that suits your project, your budget certainty and how involved you want to be in selections.
- Proven track record. Builders on The Block (3 awards) and Dream Home.
