Frequently Asked Questions
What is a knockdown rebuild design in Shellharbour?
A knock-down-rebuild design is when the original home on a given plot of land is demolished and replaced with a new, purpose-built house designed specifically for that location. Your new home will be designed based on the size and shape of the block, your lifestyle and budget, and your plans, resulting in a design approved by Shellharbour City Council for many years to come.
Do I need a complete knock down rebuild design before I can start the process?
No, we can use your conceptual sketches to create a complete set of documents for quoting, obtaining approvals, and constructing your new home. Concept sketches do not have to be complete and can be as basic as you want.
Can you assist me with my Shellharbour City Council DA or CDC application?
Yes, we will prepare your DA (Development Application) or CDC (Complying Development Certificate) application to ensure everything meets Shellharbour City Council's requirements.
Will I see my design before it is submitted to Shellharbour City Council?
Definitely! We will provide clear sketch drawings and 3D visualisations, so you can see exactly what your new home will look like and make an informed decision about whether to proceed with your application.
Are all of your Shellharbour knock down rebuild designs compliant with BASIX?
Yes, all of our Shellharbour knock-down rebuild designs comply fully with BASIX (Building Sustainability Index) and energy-efficiency requirements, helping your local council approve faster and achieving the best possible performance over time.
