Knockdown and Rebuild
DESCRIPTION
CHALLENGES FACED
KNOCKDOWN AND REBUILD – ORAKEI
Our brief was to remedy and repair significant foundation errors made by a previous construction company originally contracted for the project and build a new spec three-story home, Style Plus Renovations was contacted to continue with the 3-level new build.
As knockdown and rebuild option is fast becoming more popular due to a shortage of affordable land in residential suburbs. The reason for this is that older existing homes are not able to offer the modern integrated, energy-efficient family spaces that are wanted by individuals or families. They most often do not have a construction method that would allow renovations to be cost-effective.
A knockdown and rebuild offered an exciting opportunity for the clients to shape their ideal living space. Rather than undergoing extensive renovations, opting for a complete teardown and rebuild provides a fresh canvas for their dreams.
