If you’re tired of renovating the same old home, why not build a new one instead? Leave your knockdown rebuild in South Australia to Metricon. With our award-winning designs and expert guidance at every step, you can stay in the suburb you love while upgrading to a brand new home that fits your lifestyle.
Want to stay in the location you love but need a brand-new home? A knockdown rebuild might be the perfect solution. Instead of renovating your old house or buying elsewhere, you can rebuild right where you are and enjoy a modern, energy-efficient home tailored to how you want to live.
At Metricon, we’ve helped many South Australian homeowners transform their existing property into their dream home. From site assessment to handover, we’re with you every step of the way to keep the entire process stress-free.
A knockdown rebuild makes more sense than you might think. Here’s why:
You also won’t need to compromise on design. Our expert team can help you create the perfect home to suit your family, budget, and block.
Whether you're upsizing, downsizing, or investing, a brand-new build lets you choose from over 150 modern designs and customise every detail to fit your needs. Our experienced Sales and Studio M design team will work with you to create a home that matches your lifestyle, whether you need spacious living areas, multiple entertaining zones, or a functional layout.
Building a new home is a much safer option than renovating your old home. Firstly, you avoid all the hidden problems waiting behind the walls of your old house. Plus, you know what your timeline, processes and budget are right from the beginning which gives you peace of mind. Knocking down your existing home and building a new one gives you true freedom too. You can customise your design so it matches your lifestyle perfectly. Brand-new, with every luxury and convenience you could ever want. And no stamp duty.
Got a narrow, sloping, or irregular block? Metricon offers designs that maximise space and make the most of your block’s features. Our expert team is ready to tackle even the toughest challenges.
With Metricon, the entire building process is managed by an experienced team of knockdown rebuild specialists. Here's how it works:
1. Site Assessment
We’ll inspect your existing home and block of land to check zoning, access, and council requirements. This helps us confirm what can be built on your block.
2. Design Selection
You’ll choose from our wide range of home designs made for South Australian living. Each one can be tailored to your lifestyle and block.
3. Personalisation
At our in-house Studio M, you’ll meet with our design consultants to select fixtures, finishes, and colours. This is where you’ll add your style to every part of the home.
4. Contract signing
We’ll present you with a fixed-price contract that outlines all the details of your new home build. This gives you peace of mind knowing exactly what’s included.
5. Approvals and Demolition
We take care of demolition, council approval, and site preparation. You don’t need to worry about the paperwork or logistics.
6. Construction
Once approvals are done, your new home build begins. You’ll be kept updated every step of the way.
7. Handover
We hand over the keys to your perfect home.
One of the biggest advantages of a knockdown rebuild with Metricon is the design freedom. You won’t be stuck with a cookie-cutter home. Instead, we’ll help you find a floor plan that works for how you live now and how you might live down the line.
We also offer split-level homes and designs suited to narrow or sloping blocks. Plus, with Studio M, you can choose every finish and fixture to suit your personal taste. From benchtops to flooring, your home will reflect your style in every way. That’s because it’s built for you.
Metricon has built thousands of homes for Australians since 1976. We understand that when you’re on your new build journey you want to feel secure and build with confidence. This is why we provide a lifetime structural guarantee on many of our homes. We have complete confidence in our completed homes, so you will too.
We had heard of Metricon, but had never built a home before, and so didn’t know what to expect from a project home builder. We certainly didn’t know they could build as impressive a home as the Sentosa. Metricon’s expertise and willingness to work with us gave us huge confidence that we could achieve our building dreams.
