How the Knockdown and Rebuild Process Works with Lexmo Homes

We start by evaluating your site, including soil conditions, zoning, and council regulations. This ensures your land is suitable and sets the project up for a smooth journey.
Design & Budgetingg
Next, you work with our team to create a customized floor plan and select finishes that match your vision. We ensure your design aligns with a realistic and transparent budget.

Lexmo Homes manages all permits, including demolition and building approvals. Depending on the block and council requirements, this stage generally takes 3–6 months.
Demolition & Site Preparation
Licensed professionals safely demolish the existing structure, remove any hazards, and prepare the land for new foundations. This stage ensures the site is ready for construction.
Construction Phase
Construction progresses through foundations, framing, lock-up, interior finishes, inspections, and compliance checks. We keep you informed at every stage so you know exactly how your project is progressing.
Final Handover
Once complete, you receive the keys, warranties, and compliance certificates. Your new home is fully ready to enjoy, built to the highest standards, and comes with an exclusive 25-year structural warranty for complete peace of mind.
Frequently Asked Questions – Find your solution
Is my Adelaide property suitable for a knock down and rebuild?
Suitability depends on zoning, council regulations, block size, frontage, and site conditions. A professional site assessment helps determine whether your land is suitable for a knock down and rebuild.
Do I need council approval to knock down and rebuild?
Yes. Council approval is required for both demolition and construction. All planning and development approvals must comply with Adelaide and South Australian regulations and are typically managed by your builder.
Is a knock down and rebuild cheaper than renovating?
In many cases, it can be. Large renovations often uncover hidden structural issues and escalating costs, while a knock down and rebuild provides clearer pricing and a defined scope from the beginning.
How long does a knock down and rebuilds take in Adelaide?
A knock down and rebuild typically takes 10–12 months minimum, depending on council approvals, design complexity, site conditions, and construction scope. This timeframe includes planning, demolition, and the full build process.
Can I choose a custom design for my new home?
Yes. You can choose from single or double storey designs or work with the design team to create a fully custom home tailored to your block, lifestyle, and budget.
Will I need to move out during the process?
Yes. You will need to relocate during demolition and construction. Once the build is complete, you can move back into your brand-new home.
What happens to existing services like water, power, and gas?
All services are safely disconnected before demolition and reconnected during construction in line with local authority and safety requirements.
Does a knock down and rebuild increase property value?
A new home built to modern standards typically increases property value, improves street appeal, and enhances long-term resale potential.
Who manages demolition, approvals, and construction?
A full-service builder manages the entire process – including demolition, approvals, construction, inspections, and final handover – ensuring a smooth and well-coordinated experience.
