A knockdown rebuild in Chatswood West suits the post-war and 1960s stock on 600 to 800m² blocks, in a quieter pocket between Chatswood proper and the Lane Cove LGA boundary. There is newer infill closer to Mowbray Road, but much of the older stock is into rebuild territory.
The Lane Cove valley fall on the western edge brings reactive clay and slope to some streets, so the slab and any retaining are designed off a real geotech. On the flatter ridge blocks it is more straightforward; on the sloping valley blocks the ground design carries more of the budget.
The older stock can carry asbestos, so a licensed strip-out leads the demolition where needed. There is no station in the suburb — a bus connection to Chatswood serves the rail.

Quieter, well-placed blocks
Chatswood West sits between Chatswood proper and the Lane Cove LGA boundary, on 600 to 800m² blocks of mostly post-war and 1960s housing, with newer infill closer to Mowbray Road. It is a quieter pocket that still puts you close to the Chatswood hub.
Much of the older stock is into rebuild territory, so a knockdown resets a dated home into a modern one.
Valley fall on the western edge

The older stock can carry asbestos, so a licensed strip-out leads the demolition where needed.
