Knockdown Rebuild Process
Step 1.
The first step in the process is to obtain a detailed survey of your home site. If you do not currently hold a survey, our sales consultant can assist to arrange one for you.
Step 2.
Once we have reviewed your survey and discussed any specific design objectives you have in mind, we will assist you in selecting one of our home designs. We will work hard to help you find the most suitable design for your land and needs.
Step 3.
Once you have chosen a base design, you will then be given the option to consider any changes to our design, allowing you to customise your home to make it uniquely yours.
Step 4.
Our sales consultant will present you with different paths to arrive at a final design for pricing. These are: Tender one of our standard designs; our in-house custom home design service; our Tender on your own plans service.
Step 5.
Once we arrive at your ideal home design, we will prepare a tender document for your consideration and acceptance.
Step 6.
Tender acceptance is achieved by payment of our initial tender acceptance & council lodgement deposit. We do not require any formal signing of a building contract at this point.
Step 7.
Once at this stage, you should begin getting quotes for demolition. Our sales consultant will assist you here by sharing our regular demolition contractor contact details for you to consider and organise direct engagement.
Step 8.
We now proceed to prepare your full set of working drawings to a standard ready for development approval by either Council or a private certifier. We only lodge such plans once the latest version of your home design meets your satisfaction and approval.
Step 9.
While your development approval is being assessed, our team will help to guide you through the Selections process where you will choose colour schemes, fixtures, finished and features.
Step 10.
Once the plans have been approved by council and your formal evidence of funds is validated, your existing dwelling on your site can be demolished.
Step 11.
We now present you with a draft version of our HIA Building agreement (the contract). It is not unusual for this process to involve several version changes and adjustments to arrive at a final set of contract documents, tailored to your exact instructions and final satisfaction on both design and overall build price (the contract sum).
Step 12.
Next, we will obtain the construction certificate for the project and prepare the site to be ready for construction works to commence.
Step 13.
Construction of your new home now gets underway, in accordance with the signed contract documents, plans, specifications, selections, terms and conditions.
Step 14.
All critical stage inspections by our site supervisor, relevant engineers, authorities and the private certifier will be booked at nominated checkpoints throughout the construction process. Each inspection is followed through to achieve a satisfactory certificate of inspection before proceeding to the next stage. We also arrange site visits from yourselves as the home owners, with such requests for inspections to be arranged via our site supervisor or receptionist at our head office.

Frequently asked questions
You will have to engage your own contractor as Tullipan Homes do not provide demolition services. We can however give you recommendations as well as guidance on what to look for and what questions to ask
Knock down rebuilds often end up being cheaper per square metre than renovations. They also tend to have less complications and hidden costs that arise mid project. Often when renovating, structural issues are found in the existing dwelling that are costly to rectify. Additionally, if you rebuild, you get to create a home that is completely and uniquely your own, not governed by the position of existing walls which often cannot be relocated due to critical load points. This all-new home will also be covered by warranties that provide you with additional security that you do not get from a renovation.
Before any build commences, work needs to be done to prepare the site to be suitable for construction. Knock down rebuilds are no exception to this. It is important that a builder is consulted before demolition as plans will need to be made to best organise the demolition process to make construction as seamless as possible and achieve minimal effects on the surrounding properties. There are a number of factors that need to be considered such as, disconnecting all existing services, the removal of trees and tree roots, filling in existing pools, removal of demolition waste and management of existing plumbing systems. Having our site supervisor help manage and navigate these challenges is essential to ensure a stress-free and successful knock down rebuild process.
A knock down rebuild requires approval for both the demolition of your existing dwelling as well as approval for the home that you plan to build. These approvals can be attained through local council or a registered private certifier who will issue a complying development certificate. Once you have received approval for your demolition, we will be able to lodge the application to have your home design approved.
