Renovate or Knock Down Rebuild?

 

Deciding Between Renovation and Rebuilding in Brisbane: Insights from Ambrose Design and Construct

In the heart of Brisbane, families contemplating their next big project face a critical decision: renovate their current home or opt for a complete knockdown and rebuild. At Ambrose Design and Construct, we understand the weight of this decision and are here to guide you through the process, ensuring your objectives are met with precision and care.

 

Understanding Your Goals

The first step in this journey is to clarify what you aim to achieve with your project. For many, the ultimate goal is to enhance the equity in their home. This objective requires a careful evaluation of whether renovating or rebuilding will offer the best return on investment. On the other hand, if your needs are more about additional space—like extra bedrooms, more parking, or an expanded living area—then working with your existing floor plan could be the most cost-effective solution. Our team at Ambrose Design and Construct specializes in assessing these needs and aligning them with practical, economical solutions.

 

Navigating Brisbane’s Unique Challenges

A unique challenge for Brisbane homeowners is the city’s character overlay protections, which can restrict the ability to knock down many homes. This regulation is crucial for preserving the historical and aesthetic integrity of Brisbane’s neighborhoods. However, it also means that heavy home renovations need to be approached with a strategic mindset. Our experience as custom home builders in Brisbane positions us perfectly to navigate these regulations, ensuring that any modifications or renovations comply with local planning requirements.
