Licensed Knockdown Rebuild Builder Drummoyne
NSW licensed KDR specialist in Drummoyne 2047. Asbestos-accredited demolition, Class M–H engineered slab, BASIX 2025, 6-year structural warranty on the new home.
Knockdown Rebuild Builder in Drummoyne
A knockdown rebuild in Drummoyne is a premium project on the eastern peninsula closest to the city — Federation cottages, inter-war heritage and harbourside homes on 350 to 700m² blocks, with direct Sydney Harbour outlook and ferry access. A rebuild on a fall block designs a substantial home around a genuine harbour outlook.
The ground is Wianamatta Shale, so the slab is designed off a real geotech, and on the harbour-fall blocks retaining and stepped footings come into play. Heritage Conservation Areas cover several streets including parts of the Lyons Road peninsula, so a listed block goes down the DA path.
On the R3 land, a dual-occupancy can be worth costing where a block clears the 600m² minimum. The pre-war stock can carry asbestos and lead paint, so a licensed strip-out leads the demolition.
We rebuild fixed-price, licence HBL 487805C. Get our feasibility before you commit.

The city proximity and the harbour setting make a quality rebuild hold real value.
