Love your location but outgrown your home? Metricon Homes’ KnockDown Rebuild in Northern NSW can help you stay right where you are while building a brand-new home that suits your family, your block and the way you want to live, all without the hassle of moving or renovating.
Across Northern NSW, older homes are full of potential, but they’re not always practical for how families live today. If your existing home is falling short, rebuilding on your land could be the smarter move. It means more space, better comfort and a brand-new home that fits your lifestyle now, without giving up the postcode you love.
At Metricon Homes, we have a team of KnockDown Rebuild specialists with decades of experience as Australia's leading home builder. From coastal sites to inland townships, we understand the local councils, the conditions and the kind of homes that work here.
Not every block of land is ideal for a rebuild, but many are. If you're unsure whether your property is suitable, a free site inspection is the best place to start. Our team will carry out a detailed site assessment to look at access, slope, services and local planning requirements.

No matter your block size or layout, we have single-storey and double-storey home designs, narrow block options, acreage floor plans and even designs that support a granny flat. Whatever you’re building, there’s a Metricon home to match.
Knocking down your home and starting again can feel big, but that’s why we’re here. Our team manages the entire process with you, from your first questions to the day you get your keys.

With a KnockDown Rebuild, you keep the block, the postcode and the community while we help you build the home that finally fits. We’ll guide you through every step with clear advice and local know-how.
The first step is chatting to our team about your site and goals. We’ll walk you through how KnockDown Rebuild projects work and help you plan around things like approvals, home loans and what to expect from your block.
No, but we’ll recommend a reliable demolition company and help coordinate the timing so it works smoothly with the rest of your build.
Every site is different, so demolition costs can vary quite a bit. We’ll talk you through the typical KnockDown Rebuild cost structure and help you get accurate pricing for your block.
Most KnockDown Rebuilds take around 12 to 18 months from initial planning to move-in. We'll map out a clear timeline early in your journey so you know what to expect.
Let go of the limitations of the existing home on your block with a fresh floorplan that flows, blends indoors and outdoors, makes the best use of space and light and incorporates your choice of up-to-date fixtures and fittings. Your dream home will take shape to suit the way you love to live.
Whether you’re moving to a new suburb or staying in the neighbourhood you’ve called home for years, a knockdown rebuild home gives you the freedom to choose your ideal location rather than limiting you to build on undeveloped land. There is no need to compromise between a home which serves you and the spot in your chosen suburb.
Renovations have the potential to extend beyond budget as unforeseen costs emerge throughout the process. A new home build can offer you certainty and good value for your investment. A Metricon fixed-price contract provides transparency up front, with no hidden costs or unexpected expenses into construction, can be clearly determined from the start.
Plan for your future and stay in your home longer with clever design considering mobility and security as priorities. Looking forward to extended travel? Set your home to lock up and leave with the latest home security, modern wiring and plumbing specified to current standards for peace of mind. Ensure future independence through a home design which allows you to age in place with spatial planning for mobility, accessible bathrooms and bedrooms on the ground floor which can facilitate receiving assisted care at home.
From initial site surveys, home selection, design consultation, contract signing, construction and handover, we handle every detail of your new home build. We manage site inspections, council approvals and building compliance ensuring your build runs smoothly while keeping you informed. Our goal is to build Australians homes to the highest standards, following our six stages of independent quality assurance to guarantee it’s built to last.
While older homes can depreciate even as land values rise, building new has great potential to increase your home equity, maximizing your total property value. With a lifetime structural guarantee, a new home build positions your property for stronger capital growth compared to purchasing an older home, allowing you to take full advantage of the additional growth potential.
Every Metricon home adheres to rigorous environmental standards, exceeding systems like Green Star and NatHERS, and achieves a 7-star energy rating across all orientations. Hundreds of factors are combined with smart spatial planning to maximise natural light and ventilation so you can enjoy the benefits of a highly functional, energy-efficient home, ultimately making your new home more comfortable to live in and more cost efficient to run. Additionally, new homes come with comprehensive product, structural and appliance warranties, reducing your maintenance costs in the short term.
Unlike building in new estates where amenities can take years to develop, a KnockDown Rebuild home lets you stay rooted in communities with pre-established facilities in close proximity. You'll have immediate access to schools, local shops, medical services, parks and public transport while enjoying the benefits of a brand-new home. Your family maintains their social connections and you preserve the lifestyle you've built.
