WHY A KNOCKDOWN AND REBUILD PROJECT IS A SMART CHOICE
Aside from keeping your property’s current location, redesigning then rebuilding your home offers other great benefits, too:

It can be cheaper than traditional renovations
Believe it or not, renovating a house can actually end up costing you more. Traditional renovations are very labour-intensive as contractors have to dismantle and rebuild significant parts of your house without damaging its existing structure. You may also run into unforeseen issues with the foundation, electrical wiring, or plumbing after work commences. Nasty surprises like these can drive up construction costs—and blow a hole in your finances.
Fortunately, there are ways to modernize your home without the extensive costs and risks associated with traditional renovations. Consider opting for strategic replacements and upgrades. For kitchens, swapping out old countertops and cabinets can dramatically improve aesthetics and functionality. Modern materials like quartz offer superior durability and ease of maintenance compared to older options.
However, don’t underestimate the importance of a solid plumbing foundation behind your new fixtures. Upgrading your kitchen also means ensuring your plumbing is up to code and functioning optimally. For residents of Nevada, this is where plumbing service comes in. They are experts in Backflow Prevention Services in Reno, Nevada and can ensure your kitchen’s water supply is safe and efficient.
By having them inspect and potentially upgrade your backflow prevention system, you’ll gain peace of mind knowing your new kitchen is built on a strong plumbing foundation. This will not only prevent potential problems down the road but also avoid costly repairs that could damage your beautiful new countertops and cabinets.
Design your home as you see fit
If your house is pre-owned or constructed by a volume builder, you’re stuck with its current design. What if you eventually need a bigger kitchen or another room for a new child? With a knockdown and rebuild, you have free reign to design a home that suits your wants and needs. Since you’re no longer constrained to building around an existing floor plan, you won’t have to make any compromises on your new home.
WHAT HAPPENS IN A KNOCKDOWN AND REBUILD PROJECT?
While it’s best to discuss specifics with trusted builders like Preferred Homes, here’s a quick overview of what will happen:
1. Check with your council
Local councils have certain regulations for knockdown and rebuild projects. Talk to a council specialist to know if you’re allowed to demolish your current home and if your lot is appropriate for such a project.
2. Property Assessment
Your chosen builder will then evaluate your lot to verify that a knockdown and rebuild project can indeed be done there. Among the things they’ll inspect are: slope, orientation, block depth, frontage, easements and setbacks, soil type, and drainage and power supply.
3. Home Design
Work with your builder to create the design for your new dream home. At this stage, you will decide how many rooms there will be, which features you’ll include, and what the overall aesthetic is.
4. Tear down and construction
Preferred Homes is an expert in knockdown and rebuild projects, and we provide a seamless end-to-end process, meaning we will secure all permits and requirements on your behalf. This allows us to clear your existing block and immediately commence with the construction of your dream home!
And as with any custom-built house by Preferred Homes, we extend our 3 PILLAR GUARANTEE to knockdown-rebuild projects. If you are not satisfied with our customer service, construction times, or build quality we’ll pay you $5,000*.
