Shall we Renovate and Add On or Knock it down and Rebuild It? I assume you have already made the decision you prefer your present location.

The big question which has a different answer depending on your existing property, it's location and your preferences.

The main reasons why you may want to keep it and add on:

• Existing boundary set backs may not be achieved construction a new one under new guidelines
• You may wish to continue occupation whilst building work is carried out
• Building elements that need correction may not be too massive hence more cost effective
• You like the character of your existing house...you appreciate its heritage and the neighbourhoods

The main reasons why you might wish to start fresh:

• Existing premise on going maintenace costs are becoming excessive.[painting/electrical/plumbing]
• You require alot of add on's to bring it up to your desired requirements
• Cost effectiveness of alot of new clean space
• Your block is big enough to accomodate required building envelope

We can guide you through the knock down rebuild, or add on/extension/renovate decision with cost comparisons as needed.
