Outgrown your old home? Forget moving or renovating. Build your dream home on the same block with Metricon Homes. We make your knockdown rebuild in Queensland hassle-free with modern home designs that work with your lifestyle and budget, plus a local team that handles every step, from permits to handover.
With limited land availability and intense competition in the housing market, more Australians are turning to knockdown rebuild projects as a strategic solution. This approach allows homeowners to create a purpose-built, modern home while staying in established communities they love.
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.
We’ve helped thousands of Australians through their knockdown rebuild process. Here’s how it works:
Just because you’re rebuilding on an existing property doesn’t mean you have to compromise. Metricon offers a wide range of modern home designs that work across all kinds of block, including narrow lots and corner positions.
Our designs are flexible, so you can personalise your floor plan to suit your lifestyle. Add a guest suite, open up your living area, or create an outdoor entertaining space. We even offer multi-gen options if you need space for extended family.
You can visit our display homes across Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast and Hervey Bay to get a real feel for the spaces. Our Studio M team can also help you choose finishes and fixtures to match your style and budget.

1. Why should I partner with Metricon Homes?
Metricon is one of Australia’s most trusted home builders, known for award-winning home designs, fixed-price contracts, and a stress-free building process. Our team brings local knowledge and years of experience to every knockdown rebuild project.
2. Is it cheaper to knock down and rebuild or renovate?
In many cases, rebuilding can be more cost-effective than a major renovation. You get a brand-new home without the unknowns or hidden costs that come with fixing an old one.

You can, but you will need council approval and must secure a demolition permit. This ensures safe removal, especially if asbestos is involved. It can be tricky, but our team is here to help you so you can focus on other things, like temporary relocation and choosing a home design.
4. What is the typical timeline for a KnockDown Rebuild project?
Timeframes can vary, but from site assessment to handover, most projects take around 12 to 18 months. This includes planning, approvals, demolition, and construction.
5. How can I afford a KnockDown Rebuild?
You can finance a KnockDown Rebuild with a construction loan. Our team can help you understand the costs and connect you with finance partners if needed.
