WHY CHOOSE A KNOCKDOWN REBUILD

Transform your existing blockinto a beautiful new home

Keep the Location You Love

Stay close to the schools, parks, shops, and community you cherish. A knockdown rebuild allows you to upgrade your home without giving up the lifestyle and convenience of your current address.

Avoid Costly Relocation Expenses

By choosing to rebuild on your existing block, you avoid paying stamp duty, real estate fees, and moving costs. You also sidestep the hidden risks and expenses that often come with major renovations.

Build a Modern, Energy-Efficient Home

Old homes can be costly to maintain and may not meet today’s energy standards. With a knockdown and rebuild, you get a brand-new home designed for efficiency, sustainability, and low running costs.

Maximise Land Potential

Many older homes do not fully use the space and potential of the block. Our expert designers will help you create a home that makes the most of your land, enhancing lifestyle, function, and future value.

OUR PROCESS

Our knockdown rebuild process

We make the knockdown rebuild journey seamless and stress-free. Here is what to expect when you partner with Avondale Homes

01
Initial Consultation and Site Assessment

We meet with you on-site to understand your goals, assess block suitability, and discuss local council requirements. You will receive expert advice on home designs, block coverage, setbacks, and potential challenges.

02
Home Design Selection or Custom Design

Choose from our extensive range of single storey and double storey designs, or work with our in-house design team to create a custom plan that fits your vision. Our designs cater to a wide variety of block sizes, from narrow city lots to expansive acreage properties.

03
Detailed Estimate and Selections

We provide a clear, detailed estimate covering base price, site costs, and optional upgrades. You will work with our interior designers to select colours, finishes, fixtures, and electrical layouts that reflect your personal style.

04
Demolition and Preparation

Once council approvals and permits are secured, your old home is professionally demolished, and the site is prepared for construction. We guide you through the demolition process, including service disconnections, tree removal if required, and necessary site works.

05
Build and Construction

Your new home comes to life under the careful supervision of our experienced construction team. We maintain open communication, provide regular updates, and ensure your project stays on schedule and on budget.

06
Handover and Beyond

After a comprehensive quality inspection, we hand over the keys to your beautiful new home. Our support does not end there — we offer ongoing assistance and warranties for your peace of mind.

Final Outcome Remain Wonderful – Thanks Avondale Homes. We have received handover today for our new house and I would really like to thank Avondale Homes for making sure all the works have been done professionally. After a few ups and downs, final outcome remained wonderful. Thanks to Ingrid and Darren for wonderful customer service.

The whole process exceeded our expectation – We built with Avondale recently and couldn't recommend them highly enough. The Sales Manager, Nat was honest up front and guided us on getting all the information on our land so she could provide us a quote that didn't have any hidden surprises after we signed. The quote process was extremely quick, from talking with Nat to designing our home to then having our tender sent and contract signed, it was all done within 4 weeks. When they submitted our house in for BA after paying our deposit, it was a shock to the system that it was all happening so quickly! The design team was awesome, Dan designed our home exactly how we wanted and provided suggestions we didn't even think about. It's hard to imagine your home as a floorplan, so his 3d images gave us peace of mind (he also put in our furniture that we have to make sure it fits!). The office team were such lovely people to deal with. It's a family run business but the quality and speed of the whole process has been exceptional. These guys deserve the recognition (my new neighbours are still building and they started before us!). Thanks Avondale!

The best service. The experts in acreage homes! – While in the early phase of my building journey with Avondale Homes, their service has been next level. James and Sam have been an absolute pleasure to deal with, and the owner Darryl is always happy to answer any questions I've had. I was wary after dealing with another company previous to talking to Avondale but I'm glad that experience pushed me to talk to them.

Looking forward to building my dream home with you guys. Can't thank you enough!!!

First Home Buyer – Avondale have been so easy to deal with before we even signed the contract. We had the contract within 48 hours of confirming we would build with them, communication has been outstanding & nothing has been too much trouble! The process has been so easy and relaxed!! Avondale’s standard inclusions are considered an upgrade with other well known builders & their prices are unbeatable! Lucky has been outstanding right from the start & he’s always available if we have any concerns...he’s a valuable asset to the company!

Highly Recommend Avondale Homes – This is our first time building & boy did we have quite a few questions! We first met Lucky (Salesman) at Avondale's Flagstone Display Home and he was more than happy to answer any questions we both had. Lucky provided us with a lot of professional guidance & ideas to make it our own. He even put us in touch with someone to help us with our mortgage application! He has really gone out of his way to make sure we were both happy.

Within 48hrs of meeting with Lucky again, we had a fixed price contract. Colour Selections at their studio was fantastic. Plenty of choices for every style home. Our build is almost about to start & Lucky has been there to help us every step of the way. The Director of Avondale & Staff have been fantastic to deal with too!

Avondale's standard inclusions really are above the rest. This is what made them stand out to us amongst other builders. We loved the simply layout & use of space with their Hamilton Plan. Their range of plans are beautiful & perfect for any acreage build.

We've had no dramas so far & cannot wait for our build to start. Very happy! Highly recommend building your dream home through Avondale Homes!

Exciting Times Ahead – This is our first time building a new home. From the moment we first made contact with Lucky from Avondale Homes he has made us feel confident and excited about our new build. Lucky is a true professional from start to finish, taking the time to make sure we were happy with location, build plans and design, and a big thanks to Lucky for making our dream list become a reality. We are very happy and extremely excited to start our new home build journey along side Lucky and the Avondale Homes Team. Exciting times ahead!

Couldn't Recommend Enough – After many let downs our dreams of owning our own home felt diminished. That was until we met Lucky. Lucky and his team were second to none and the knowledge he had along with his guidance saw us put on the right path to success. Lucky held our hand through the process and literally walked/talked us through all our worries. He was available night and day for any questions and stresses we had. I couldn't recommend him enough.

Luxury & Affordability We made an online inquiry with Avondale Homes and by the end of the day we had found THE HOME! Darryl, the owner and builder of Avondale Homes, met with us to go over the contract, everything was explained thoroughly. It was great to feel not just like a number, plus get unmatched value and quality!

After meeting the Darryl, the owner, we realised we had made the best decision to talk to Avondale. Upfront and caring, we're glad we built with QLD's best builders, Avondale Homes!

Meeting Lucky changed our lives and made our dream home a reality. He was in contact with us every step of the way to ensure we were happy. The build time was quick and without any issues. You are made to feel like part of the Avondale family.  We would 100% build with Avondale Homes again.

Time To Make Dreams A Reality I made a call to Avondale enquiring about what I was looking for in a land & build package. Not long after they were back to me with affordable house and land packages, with some of the most well designed homes we've ever come across.
Very happy we built with AVONDALE HOMES!

Building My First Home
Building your own home can be quite stressful and second guessing. Upon meeting with with Avondale I felt more confident as they slowly went through the building plans and process for myself. I'm so excited to moving into my first home! So glad I made the choice to build with Avondale Homes!

Just under 2 years since we moved into our amazing home. During the build we experienced a massive amount of rain that came over months causing issues with the build schedule. Avondale were great and worked with us to get the build done. Were their other issues during the build? Sure. Were they resolved? 100% of the time. In building a new house for the first time I've come to understand it must be a stressful industry as you're trying to arrange so many moving pieces, yet Avondale made us feel comfortable and you could tell they knew what they were doing. Before hand over we hired Darbecca (building inspection company) and they said the quality of the build was one of the best they've seen. They were impressed with the little touches that most builders wouldn't do. Were their defects to fix? Sure, a list of defects which Avondale fixed before hand over. Even 2 years on and their was an issue found recently with the aircon and they arranged someone to come out and fix. Now it's running great. Would I build with Avondale again? Most Definitely. There are so many scary stories out there about builders and I can tell you based on my own experience these guys are one of the good ones.

If you’re thinking about building a custom knock down house, please make sure you contact Avondale Homes. They were fantastic in bringing my dream come to life in Burleigh Waters and at such a great price compared to some of the ‘other’ custom home builders. They were honest and did their best to stick to my budget while delivering a high quality build. Highly recommend the whole Avondale team!

We have recently moved onto our brand new forever home!
A friend had built their home with Avondale a few years ago and recommended them.
From the design process, construction phase and everything in between we couldn’t be happier with Nat and the entire team.
Our family love all the spaces and especially our open plan living/alfresco area.
We highly recommend.

Nat, Darryl, Dan, Kirstin and the entire team have time and time again shown positivity, professionalism, transparency, and have been 100% committed to working with us to ensure our multi-dwelling build is the absolute best is can be.

Deciding to build initially was nerve racking but exciting at the same time. From the very first visit to Avondale Homes then throughout our whole process, how could we not be happy, site cut was 10 January and were in our home in mid July. Communication is the key, any issue, overthought etc etc they were always there to guide us without hesitation. Do yourself a favour and go out personally and check the workmanship out, I mean really look. You will realise unlike ‘others’ they do care about what they do. Not only as a client but as a tradesman myself, we definitely made the right decision in choosing Avondale Homes. Thanks again Avondale homes

Very disappointed with this company. Countless emails and calls and our house is still not complete almost a year after handover. They didnt give us our keys for 3 weeks to make finiah thw house off and nothing had been done in thoae 3 weeks. House is beautiful but incomplete. Have heard alot of stories from others using this company that they also did not bother to finish the house fully. Very unprofessional.

Edit: I made the top review under old management/staff and whilst it was accurate at the time, I have since experienced excellent service from the new staff of Avondale since around september 2022. Thankyou so much for all your help and rectifying our previous experience.
