Knock down rebuild
Fall in love with a custom-designed home, built just for you in the location you love.
The home you’ve always wanted
If you’re lucky enough to own a property in the street you love in Canberra, but you’ve either outgrown your existing home or it doesn’t meet your needs, a knock down rebuild is a great option for you.
The process of demolishing an existing residence to design and rebuild your custom home on the same incredible block is becoming increasingly popular in Canberra and surrounding regions.
Why consider a
knock down rebuild?
- Live where you love in Canberra and choose exactly how you want your home to look and feel
- Create unique spaces for you and your family that suits your lifestyle
- Significantly improve the value of your sought-after block of land in Canberra
- Know your budget to knock down rebuild upfront, rather than facing unknown costs to renovate or extend that will heavily impact your budget to complete your home

- Invest your hard-earned budget towards the home you really want
- Plan for an energy-efficient home in Canberra that keeps you warm in winter and cool in summer

- Enjoy peace of mind with a 7-year structural guarantee and warranties for your knock down rebuild

Words of praise
from happy clients
Element was referred to me by a friend, and great reputation, so there was already trust established there.
From the get go there was just this open communication that they helped us to feel a part of the process. Dennis is always there overseeing it and its very seamless the way the trades were organised.
If you’re looking to build, go to Element!
They are a local Canberra builder, they looked after us, talked to us, they’re not going to take you for a ride, they will build you a house that’s a home and make you feel like a person.
I never ever thought I would move from my house of 43 years.
Element has been fantastic, I couldn’t say a bad word. Dennis is lovely and always answered any of my questions.
It's going to be exciting and interesting to live in my own house that I've planned and helped design.
It’s been very quick and the handover was much sooner than originally planned. The system for variations and the processes to follow have been really good, it’s all been very user-friendly, very time-saving. It’s been quite a good experience actually, no surprises. The team has been so awesome, very patient, nice and they really guided me as well.
