Best home designs for a knockdown rebuild
Step 1. Let's chat about what you're looking for
We start by getting to know you, how you live, what you love, and what your dream home looks like. Whether you’re knocking down an old house or building on a unique block, we’ll help create a design that suits your lifestyle, land, and budget, with all the extra details like site orientation and existing structures like pools or sheds in mind.
Step 2. Get started with a preliminary payment
Once you’re ready, a preliminary payment locks in your base price and goes towards your final contract. We’ll also arrange a complimentary site assessment with a Construction Manager to review access, site conditions, services, planning rules, and any challenges like trees or slopes.
Step 3. Concept design & budget alignment
Now for the exciting part – designing your home! We’ll bring your ideas to life with expert guidance and create a concept plan that suits your lifestyle and budget. From there, our team will prepare detailed drawings, a full cost estimate, and your official build contract. At Neptune, we’re all about clarity and confidence at every step.
Step 4. Working drawings & build contract
Once your concept and estimate are approved, we’ll finalise your working drawings and prepare your build contract. This marks the end of the preliminary phase and brings you one step closer to construction!
