A knockdown rebuild in Hurstville depends on which part you hold, because this is the LGA's CBD — Westfield, the interchange and the high-rise zone front the station, while Federation and inter-war character runs the side streets. On the R2 side streets, a rebuild works well; near the CBD, R3/R4 value dominates.
On the R2 streets, the 400 to 700m² blocks of aging Federation-to-brick stock suit a modern rebuild, and the 600m² duplex minimum puts a dual-occupancy in play on the larger lots. The shale-sandstone interface with reactive clay pockets means the slab is designed off a real geotech.
The pre-war stock carries asbestos and lead paint, so a licensed strip-out leads the demolition.
We rebuild fixed-price, licence HBL 487805C. Get our feasibility — rebuild, duplex or precinct — before you commit.
Buildana manages the complete knockdown rebuild process in Hurstville — from site assessment and architectural design through to DA or CDC approval, demolition management, and fixed-price construction to handover. One builder, one contract, one new home.

Side streets, not the CBD core
Hurstville's CBD high-rise zone is redevelopment territory — a block near the station is usually worth more assembled than rebuilt as a single home, and I tell you so. On the R2 side streets, the aging Federation-to-brick stock on 400 to 700m² blocks suits a modern rebuild.
The 600m² duplex minimum puts a dual-occupancy in play on the larger lots.
Interface ground and old stock
The shale-sandstone interface with reactive clay pockets means the slab is designed off a real geotech — clay in some spots, rock in others.
The pre-war stock carries asbestos and lead paint, so a licensed strip-out leads the demolition.

How It Works
From First Call to Final Key
Free site inspection of your Hurstville property. We check lot dimensions, Georges River Council's planning controls, existing home condition, and potential asbestos.
⏱KDR is the chance to get the design right — the new build doesn't have to mimic the original layout. We start from your block's strengths (orientation, slope, views) and your family's brief, then design the home the original lot always deserved.
⏱Licensed demolition of existing 1920s–1960s heritage Federation/Californian Bungalow + 1960s–1990s brick veneer + 2010s+ R3/R4 redevelopment around Hurstville/Kogarah/Beverly Hills CBDs-era dwelling. Asbestos removal by certified contractors (if present).
⏱Your new home goes up on the cleared site. Engineered slab sized for Class M soil, frame, roof, fit-out, kitchen, bathrooms, flooring, painting, driveway, and landscaping.
⏱Handover pack: OC, structural certificates, BASIX, appliance manuals and warranties, paint colour schedule, maintenance plan, and the keys. Six-year structural warranty kicks in from OC date — keep the documentation safe for any future sale.
