Knockdown 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, but you’ve either outgrown your existing home or it doesn’t meet your needs, a knockdown rebuild is a great option for you.
The process of demolishing an existing residence to design and build your custom home on the same incredible block is becoming increasingly popular in Canberra and surrounding regions.
Why consider a
knockdown rebuild?
- Live where you love 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
- Know your budget to demolish and build upfront, rather than facing unknown costs to renovate or extend that will heavily impact your budget to complete your home
- Save precious time and avoid disappointment associated with auctions for overpriced established residences that don’t meet your needs
- Invest your hard-earned budget towards the home you really want
- Plan for an energy-efficient home that keeps you warm in winter and cool in summer
- Don’t settle for an existing home that requires costly and time-consuming maintenance or improvements
- Enjoy peace of mind with a 7-year structural guarantee and warranties
- Have the experience of a lifetime
So, what’s the next step?
Our experienced and diligent team can help you understand exactly what’s involved, what’s possible on your block and what you need to consider before you make any big decisions.
If you’ve already decided a knockdown rebuild is the best path for you, we can collaborate with you at any stage of your building journey.
Whether you need budget guidance for build and site costs, a site contour survey, soil testing, advice about tree removal and driveway placement, solar orientation and design guidance, information to select the right building materials, or building and development approvals, we can help with every detail.

from happy clients
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.
