Constructing a house for the first time or relocating to a new region can be extremely stressful; however, using an experienced builder will make the process much more straightforward, clear, and enjoyable.
At JIH Building Design, our Knockdown Rebuild Design Services give you the opportunity to create a brand-new home tailored to your individual style, design, and financial needs.

Additionally, we also provide fully customised knockdown rebuild planning services to clients who want a more personalised solution.
Tailored Knock Down Rebuild Design for Wollongong Homes
Wollongong-based KDR homes are custom-designed for your unique lifestyle. These homes differ from standard project homes because we want to personalise the design to your specific needs, so your new home is perfect for you, your family and your block of land. To ensure we can produce a good design for your new home, we first need to fully understand what you want to achieve in the long term.
Some key considerations for developing a quality KDR design in Wollongong include:
- The slope, size and orientation of your property
- Any relevant local Government planning controls established by the Wollongong City Council
- Your anticipated budget and the method of construction
- Your lifestyle requirements; family life, entertaining, working from home and future proofing
- Any combination of the factors above will allow us to develop an appropriate design for your circumstances.
Modern Knock Down Rebuild Home Designs in Wollongong
JIH Building Design has extensive experience creating modern homes that are designed for efficient construction through "knock down" and "rebuild" projects with an emphasis on comfort, clean lines and easy-to-navigate layouts. Our contemporary designs focus on creating open, intuitive homes with abundant natural light and efficient use of space, making them enjoyable to live in.
Some examples of modern KDR designs in the Wollongong area include:
- Flexible open floor plans/aspect relationships throughout living areas
- Generous use of natural light and ventilation
- Open a connection between the indoor and outdoor areas
- Full compliance with all applicable sustainability regulations (BASIX)
Our design philosophy is that the result should be a home that remains timeless, functional, durable, and suitable for day-to-day living for many years.
Complete Knock Down Rebuild Support from Start to Finish
Constructing a new home in place of an existing one (knockdown rebuild) is a more complex process than simply picking a new building to replace your old one. We will ensure that your project transitions smoothly through every phase by handling the entire design and documentation process.
The services we provide include:
- Detailed concept designs alongside a review of the site
- Complete construction documentation
- 3D visualisation for the design
- Preparation of BASIX and sustainability report
- Preparation and submission of council applications
- Working with engineers and any other necessary consultants
Our structured workflow limits uncertainty, reduces excess revisions, and enables a smooth/kickback/rebuild process.
Wollongong Knock Down Rebuild Designs Backed by Local Expertise
Wollongong's unique landscape requires a special approach to planning and design—due to factors such as the coastal location, block-gradient variations, and specific local planning rules/requirements. This is why we've been able to design with all these things in mind from the first day of our design development processes, drawing on our experience working across every area of the Wollongong region.
Having local experience built into your design will help speed up the approval process, reduce delays, and minimise expensive revisions; therefore, we believe we can save you both valuable time and money.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Knock Down Rebuild Design?
A Knock Down Rebuild Design means that you are tearing down your existing home and then building a completely new home on the same piece of land. We take into account your site, your lifestyle, and your expectations when designing a compliant, environmentally sustainable, long-term solution for your property.
Do I need a final design before commencing a knock-down rebuild?
No, you can commence a knock-down rebuild with just a clear concept; from there, we will provide you with the necessary assistance and guidance throughout each stage of the design process, including transforming your ideas into drawings and producing the detailed documents required by builders and councils for quotation purposes and for council approval.
Can you apply for council approval on my behalf?
Yes, we prepare and submit all Development Application (DA) or Complying Development Certificate (CDC) documentation on behalf of the client in accordance with Wollongong City Council requirements.
Will I get to preview my design before you submit it to the council?
Each client will receive detailed drawings and 3D computer-generated images of the proposed design to ensure they are 100% comfortable with the design of their future home before lodgement.
Are the Knock Down Rebuild Designs shown on this site all BASIX compliant?
Yes! All Knock Down Rebuild Designs are BASIX-compliant and meet all other required energy-efficiency standards, providing a smoother process for obtaining the required approvals.
