Knockdown Rebuild Case Studies
At Luxis Homes we are dedicated to helping our customers build the home they’ve always imagined. Our focus is on creating a better life for our customers.
Knocking down an existing home and rebuilding offers the best of both worlds – living in your preferred location and building your forever home exactly as you want it. Don’t be limited by renovation restrictions or by buying an established home that doesn’t tick all your boxes.
Follow the journey of some recent KDR customers as they speak openly about their build experience, their house and why they chose Luxis to knockdown and rebuild their dream home.
Why knockdown rebuild?
When your house is past its use-by date, or doesn't suit your lifestyle anymore, you have three options: either sell and move, renovate, or knockdown and rebuild a new home
Choose from a wide selection of new home designs within the Affinity Collection and T-Range suitable for your knockdown rebuild project.
Lower cost. It’s generally cheaper (per square metre) to build a new home than to extend or renovate your old home. Melbourne and Geelong are experiencing shortages of residential land in inner-city suburbs. Knocking down and rebuilding is a growing trend that is saving families money. With a knockdown rebuild project you get a fresh, modern, energy-efficient home for less than the cost of a renovation project.
Lower risk. A knockdown rebuild is less risky than renovating. Renovations are known for running over time and over budget. The biggest problem is that you never know what you’re going to uncover when you pull up the floorboards! This ‘unknown’ factor means that your renovation is more likely to take longer and run into unforeseen construction challenges resulting in ‘hidden’ costs that exceed budget.
Limited disruption to your lifestyle. Choosing to knockdown and rebuild means that there is minimal disruption to your family and their routine. No need to move schools or re-establish in a new neighbourhood. You stay in the location you’ve grown to love close to your family, friends and amenities.
A high-quality result. A renovation often means working around existing structures and having to make compromises. New homes are designed with today’s family lifestyle in mind: including features such as zoned family living areas and alfresco dining areas - all showcasing the most contemporary trends in design and construction.
Choose from a wide selection of new home designs within the Affinity Collection and T-Range and be inspired by hundreds of colours, finishes and fixtures from our award-winning Spectra Showroom.
Energy efficient. All Luxis Homes meet the Victorian Government 6 star energy rating requirements. If sustainability is important to you and you want to save money on your energy and water bills, then we can work with you to achieve an even higher energy efficiency rating or simply make your home more efficient.
Why choose Luxis Homes?
It’s our exceptionally high quality of construction, full transparency, value for money, and more standard inclusions than any other home builder in Victoria that sets us apart from our competitors.
“ We identified very early on that Luxis had the best value for money. This took into account the standard inclusions, promos, façades and building costs… At the tender appointment, all costs were explained to us and the final pricing was quite reasonable considering it being a knockdown-rebuild and the amount of extras we added. Highly recommended for knockdown re-build projects! ”
Cassandra and Christopher

Luxis Homes is all about building homes of quality, not quantity. We limit the number of homes we build and we have the lowest home-to-site-manager ratio in the industry. This means that we are able to provide a higher level of professionalism, construction quality, and attention-to-detail than any other home builder.
Six star energy rating
All Luxis homes are built with a 6 star energy rating, on any orientation. This means your new home is designed and built from the ground up to be more energy efficient - saving you money on energy consumption for the life of your home.
