What are the benefits of a knockdown rebuild over renovating?

A knockdown rebuild gives you a fresh start. Rather than trying to work around outdated layouts, structural issues, or renovation restrictions, you get a brand new home designed exactly the way you want. It is often more cost-effective than a major renovation and gives you better long-term value, improved energy efficiency, and fewer maintenance worries.

Knockdown Rebuild

Can I reuse my existing floorplan?

If you already have a floor plan you love, we can work with it. We will assess the design to make sure it suits your block and complies with current building codes. We can also make adjustments or enhancements to better align with your lifestyle, land, and budget.

Knockdown Rebuild

How long does the knockdown rebuild process take?

Every project is different, but most knockdown rebuilds follow a clear timeline. Demolition typically takes a few weeks once approvals are in place, followed by site preparation and construction. From the initial consultation to the final handover, most knockdown rebuilds are completed within 9 to 12 months. We will provide a detailed timeline based on your home design and block conditions.

Knockdown Rebuild

Do I need council approval for a knockdown rebuild?

Yes, council approval is required for both the demolition and the new home construction. The good news is, we manage the full approval process for you. Our team handles all applications, planning checks, and compliance requirements so you don’t have to worry about the paperwork or delays.

Knockdown Rebuild

How much does demolition cost?

Demolition costs vary depending on the size and type of the existing home, access to the site, asbestos removal (if required), and your local council area. As part of your consultation, we will provide guidance on what to expect and connect you with a trusted demolition partner if needed. In many cases, we can also include demolition costs in your overall build quote for convenience.

Knockdown Rebuild

Who handles the demolition?

We coordinate the entire demolition process on your behalf. Our team works closely with experienced and licensed demolition contractors to ensure your existing home is removed safely, efficiently, and in line with local regulations. You won’t have to lift a finger — we take care of it all.

Knockdown Rebuild

What is demolition and how does it work?

Demolition is the process of safely removing your existing home or structure to prepare the site for a brand-new build. At Avondale Homes, we manage this process for you from start to finish, including permits, service disconnections, and site clean-up. We work with trusted professionals to ensure your demolition is smooth, compliant, and ready for the next phase of construction.

Knockdown Rebuild

Can I visit the site during demolition or construction?

Yes, you are welcome to visit your site, but for safety reasons, all visits must be arranged with your Building Supervisor. We follow strict safety protocols and will organise guided walk-throughs at key milestones so you can see your home take shape while staying safe.

Is building in Brisbane more expensive than in other areas?

Building costs in Brisbane can vary depending on your land, design, and level of finishes. Some inner-city suburbs may carry higher land costs or tighter site access, but we work with all types of blocks across the region and provide fixed-price contracts for peace of mind. Our team will help you get the most value out of your build, no matter the location.

Brisbane Home Designs

What suburbs around Brisbane do you build in?

We build across Brisbane and surrounding areas, including the inner city, northside, southside, Redlands, Logan, Ipswich, and parts of the Scenic Rim. If you are unsure whether your suburb is included, contact us, and we will be happy to confirm.

Brisbane Home Designs

How long does it take to build a home in Brisbane?

What are the benefits of choosing a modern home design in Brisbane?

Modern home designs offer the perfect balance of comfort, style, and practicality, especially in a growing city like Brisbane. They allow for open, flowing spaces, better energy efficiency, improved natural light, and strong indoor-outdoor connections. These designs also offer long-term value and lower maintenance, with clever layouts that suit a range of lifestyles.

Whether you are building for family, lifestyle, or investment, a well-designed modern home in Brisbane will deliver both comfort and lasting appeal.

Brisbane Home Designs

What features are included in Avondale’s modern home designs?

Our modern home designs include a wide range of features tailored to Brisbane living. These often include open-plan kitchens, multiple living zones, large alfresco areas, spacious master suites, walk-in pantries, and smart storage throughout. Many of our homes also include separate studies, media rooms, or activity areas designed for families, professionals, or entertainers.

We also offer custom upgrades and inclusions so you can personalise every space. If you have something specific in mind, we will help bring it to life.

Brisbane Home Designs

What should I consider when choosing a home design in Brisbane?

When choosing a home design in Brisbane, it's important to consider the size, shape, and slope of your block, local council requirements, and how the design will suit your lifestyle now and into the future. You should also think about how the home will respond to Brisbane’s climate, such as capturing breezes, shading outdoor spaces, and maximising energy efficiency.

Our team will guide you through all of these factors and help you choose or create a design that works beautifully for your land, budget, and personal style.

Brisbane Home Designs

Does an in-house design mean I won’t get the look I'm after?

Absolutely not. We have a very talented design team who will work with you to get the exact look you want, but without breaking your budget. We've designed and constructed many amazing homes - see for yourself here

Standard FAQs

Where can I find your prices on the website?

Because every home we build is uniquely designed and tailored to your land, lifestyle, and preferences, we don’t offer set pricing like volume builders. Instead, we provide transparent, itemised proposals based on your specific brief and site conditions.

‍

We do have example cost ranges and past project case studies available on our website to give you a realistic starting point — and we're always happy to discuss indicative pricing during your first consultation. Our focus is on creating homes of lasting value, with no hidden costs or surprises along the way.

Standard FAQs

Can we include images from Pinterest as design inspiration?

Yes — we’re happy to work from inspiration images, especially if they help bring your vision to life. Whether it’s a specific lighting detail, a feature wall, a kitchen layout or a unique ceiling treatment, we’ll assess the practicality, source suitable materials, and incorporate it into your design and selections.

Just keep in mind that every Pinterest idea needs to be reviewed for buildability, cost impact, and code compliance — but in most cases, we can either recreate it or offer a custom solution with a similar look and feel.

Standard FAQs

Can we use our own suppliers/Subcontractors for certain things?

We’re open to collaboration, particularly if you have a preferred supplier for specialty items (like a bespoke kitchen, stonework, or feature lighting). We’ll assess how they fit into our schedule and quality standards, and how we can integrate them seamlessly.

For subcontractors, we are a bit more cautious — our team is carefully vetted, licensed, and aligned with our construction methodology. However, we’re happy to discuss specific trades on a case-by-case basis to see what’s feasible while still maintaining our quality and warranty commitments.

Standard FAQs

When can we start building on site once we have signed the contract?

Once the building contract is signed, we generally commence work on-site within 4 to 6 weeks, provided all final approvals are in place and your selections are confirmed. This short lead time allows us to finalise construction documentation, order long-lead items, and prepare the site properly.

We’ll give you a definitive start date — and keep you updated at every step so you know exactly what to expect.

Standard FAQs

What's the advantage in building with a steel frame?

Steel framing offers a number of significant advantages, especially in Queensland’s climate. It’s termite-proof, dimensionally stable (so it won’t warp, twist or shrink over time), and non-combustible, making it a smart choice in bushfire-prone or high-humidity areas.

We often recommend steel framing for clients building on acreage or in coastal or regional areas where environmental conditions can be more demanding. It also offers greater design flexibility for long spans and high ceilings — which suits the open, flowing spaces we often create in custom homes.

Standard FAQs

Do you offer steel frames?

Yes, in fact we only use steel frames for our homes.

Standard FAQs

Do you offer sustainable or energy-efficient home designs?

Yes, all our homes are built with energy efficiency in mind. We can incorporate sustainable features like solar panels, rainwater tanks, and energy-efficient layouts to reduce your environmental impact.

Standard FAQs

Do you build in my area?

We build throughout Brisbane, the Gold Coast, and surrounding regions. If you're unsure whether we cover your location, get in touch, and we’ll be happy to confirm.

Standard FAQs

Can I visit your past projects or Open Homes?

Yes, we regularly host Open Home Tours so you can walk through completed homes and experience the quality of our work in person. You can also view our project gallery online or request a private walkthrough of a home, subject to availability.

Standard FAQs

Do you help with council approvals and permits?

Yes, we manage the entire approval process for you, including planning overlays, engineering reports, and council submissions. Our experienced team understands local regulations and ensures your build progresses smoothly from start to finish.

Standard FAQs

Do you offer fixed-price contracts?

Absolutely. We pride ourselves on offering fixed-price contracts with no hidden costs. Once your design is finalised and site details are confirmed, you will receive a full breakdown of pricing so you know exactly what to expect. Transparency is part of what makes our process stress-free and easy to trust.

Standard FAQs

Can I bring my own floor plan or architect design?

Yes, we can work with existing plans from your architect or designer or help you refine them to better suit your block and budget. Alternatively, our in-house team can custom design a home from scratch with no additional design fees. We are flexible and focused on building a home that reflects your vision.

Standard FAQs

Will you inspect my land before I purchase it?

Yes, we can arrange a site inspection before you buy a block to make sure it is suitable for your vision and budget. We will assess things like slope, access, orientation, and overlays to help you avoid unexpected costs and make an informed decision.

Standard FAQs

Who will be my main contact during the build?

You will have a dedicated team, including a Building Supervisor and Client Liaison who will keep you informed throughout your build. You will also have access to the owners of the business, ensuring accountability and a personal connection throughout the entire journey.

Standard FAQs

How long will the build take?

Build times vary depending on the size and complexity of your home, site conditions, and council approvals. On average, our builds take between 6 to 12 months. From the moment you sign your contract, we keep the process moving with efficient timelines, clear communication and regular updates.

Standard FAQs

What if I don’t have land yet?

No problem. While we don’t sell land directly, we can connect you with trusted developers and help you assess potential sites to ensure they suit your building goals. We are also happy to review any blocks you are considering and offer advice before you commit.

Standard FAQs

What if I already have land?

Perfect. If you already own a block of land, we can get started with a free consultation and site inspection. We will assess the block, help you understand your options, and start designing a home that works beautifully with your land, your lifestyle, and your budget.

Standard FAQs

Why should I build a new home instead of buying one?

Building a new home gives you the freedom to design a space that suits your lifestyle, tastes, and future plans. You get the benefit of modern features, energy efficiency, warranty protection, and no surprises from hidden issues that can come with an older home. With Avondale, your new home is custom-designed and built around the way you want to live.

Standard FAQs

How do I know Avondale Homes is the right builder for me?

We understand that choosing a builder is a big decision. What sets us apart is our personal service, in-house design, transparent pricing, and commitment to quality. You will have direct access to our experienced team, and our process is designed to make your journey smooth and stress-free. We encourage you to visit an Open Home or view our testimonials from our past clients to see the difference for yourself.

Standard FAQs

Do you assist with finance?

While we are not a lender, we work with trusted finance partners who can help you explore your options. If you need assistance finding the right home loan solution, let us know and we will connect you with someone who understands the building process and can support your journey.

Standard FAQs

How much will my deposit be?

Your deposit will depend on the value of your build and your lender’s requirements. In most cases, you will need a minimum of five to ten percent of the total contract value. Once we prepare your fixed-price contract, we can guide you on the next steps and timing of your deposit.

Standard FAQs

What is stamp duty?

Stamp duty is a government tax applied to property transactions. The amount depends on the value of your land or property and the state you are building in. If you are building a new home on vacant land, you will typically only pay stamp duty on the land component, not the house. We recommend speaking with a financial adviser or conveyancer for accurate guidance.

Standard FAQs

Can I go to the building site of my home?

Yes, but for your safety, all site visits must be coordinated with your dedicated Building Supervisor. We are proud of our work and welcome the opportunity to walk you through your home as it progresses while making sure safety procedures are followed at all times.

Standard FAQs

Can I build a single storey home on a sloping block?

Yes, you can. Our team has experience designing single storey homes that work beautifully on sloping or uneven blocks. We will assess your site and create a custom solution that balances form and function while ensuring the build remains cost-effective and compliant.

Single Storey Home Designs

Are single storey homes suitable for families?

Yes. Single storey homes are ideal for families who value connection, comfort, and easy living. With no stairs, they are safer and more accessible for young children and older family members. These homes also make it easier to keep an eye on everyone, move between living areas, and enjoy more open-plan space.

Whether you need extra bedrooms, a kids' retreat, or dedicated workspaces, we will design a layout that suits your lifestyle.

Single Storey Home Designs

How long does it take to build a single storey home?

Most single storey homes can be completed in less time than a double storey build, depending on the complexity and conditions of your site. With our streamlined process, in-house team, and strong supplier network, we work efficiently to deliver high-quality results without long delays.

We will provide you with a clear timeline during the design phase and keep you informed every step of the way.

Single Storey Home Designs

Is a single storey home better for narrow blocks?

In many cases, yes. Single storey homes can be designed to work beautifully on narrow lots while still feeling open, spacious, and functional. Our team specialises in smart design that makes the most of your block with clever layouts that balance privacy, flow, and indoor-outdoor connection.

If your block is narrow, sloping, or has other restrictions, we will tailor the design to suit and help you maximise every square metre.

Single Storey Home Designs

How much does it cost to build a single storey home?

The cost of a single storey home depends on several factors, including the size of the home, level of finish, site conditions, and your chosen inclusions. At Avondale Homes, we work with your budget from day one and provide a clear fixed-price contract, so there are no surprises.

We also offer a free consultation where we can give you a more accurate estimate based on your land and vision.

Single Storey Home Designs

Can I customize one of your single storey designs?

Yes, absolutely. Every single storey home we offer can be fully customised to suit your block, lifestyle, and personal preferences. You can start with one of our existing designs and make changes to the layout, rooms, or features, or work with us to create something completely unique.

Our in-house design team will guide you through every step, helping you create a home that feels truly yours.

With a double storey design, you can create a clear separation between living zones and private areas, giving everyone in the household their own space. They also open up more design possibilities, from grand entries and upstairs retreats to capturing views and breezes you simply would not get in a single-level home.

How much does it cost to build an acreage home in Brisbane and South East Queensland?

The cost of building an acreage home in Brisbane, the Gold Coast and surrounding areas can vary depending on factors like block size, location, design features and construction type. Some regions in South East Queensland, including the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast and Moreton Bay, experience higher demand and pricing due to their proximity to major centres.

That’s where acreage homes offer a unique advantage. By building in more spacious, semi-rural areas, you can often enjoy greater value and lower overall costs without compromising on lifestyle or quality.
