Knockdown Rebuild

Knockdown Rebuild Specialists in Melbourne

Love your location but not your home? A knockdown rebuild lets you demolish your old property and build a brand-new home on the same block — in the suburb you already love. TOFA Group manages the entire process from demolition permit to handover.

Why Choose a Knockdown Rebuild?

For many Melbourne homeowners — especially in established northwest suburbs like Essendon, Avondale Heights, and Moonee Ponds — a knockdown rebuild is the smartest way to get a new home without losing your street, school zone, or community. You keep your location and start fresh with a home built exactly the way you want.

  • Keep the suburb, street, and school zone you love
  • Build a modern home designed exactly to your brief
  • Avoid the premium of buying in a competitive market
  • Potential for dual occupancy or multi-dwelling on larger blocks
  • New home warranty and full compliance
  • We manage demolition, permits, and construction end-to-end
