Depending on what kind of renovations you may need and the specifications of your existing home, you are likely to end up better off  when you consider a Knockdown Rebuild package with McDonald Jones. With a knock down and rebuild process, you can choose your perfect dream home, without the hassle and building costs of renovations and old bits and pieces. With a new home, you get the added benefits of having absolutely everything brand new, from the slab and plumbing, all the way through to the wiring and appliances, along with the peace of mind of builder warranties for years to come. And the best part, you don’t have to move from the location you love.

When looking at the cost of Knockdown Rebuild packages, you will quickly notice that the price is fixed, as opposed to renovations, which can snowball into an out-of-budget nightmare. The knockdown rebuild cost is determined by which house you choose, whether that is a single storey home design or an acreage design. It is best to get visit a display home to organise your free quote and site inspection early, so we can help determine all the costs for a new home so you can compare the difference. If you’re looking for an alternative to a knockdown rebuild, why not consider a Fixed Price House & Land Package from McDonald Jones Homes.
