A knockdown rebuild in Lansdowne costs $450,000–$1,200,000+. Standard single-storey from $450K, two-storey from $650K. Buildana manages demolition, Canterbury-Bankstown Council approvals, and construction under one fixed-price contract.
Lansdowne Knockdown Rebuilds
A knockdown rebuild in Lansdowne suits the post-war stock on standard 500 to 700m² R2 blocks, in a small residential suburb between Villawood and Bass Hill. The aging 1940s to 1970s homes are into rebuild territory, so a knockdown resets a dated home into a modern one.
The ground is Class M shale, which takes a standard engineered slab off a geotech. Because some of the stock reaches back to the 1940s, asbestos is almost a given, so a licensed strip-out and clearance certificate lead the demolition.
Lansdowne is R2, so this is a single-home rebuild suburb, well placed between two established centres.

Small pocket, well placed
Lansdowne is a small residential suburb sitting between Villawood and Bass Hill. On standard 500 to 700m² blocks, the post-war stock is aging into rebuild territory, so a knockdown resets a dated home into a modern one.
It keeps you central to two established centres while staying in a quiet street.
Old stock, asbestos a given
Because some of the stock reaches back to the 1940s, asbestos is almost a given, so a licensed strip-out and clearance certificate lead the demolition. The Class M shale takes a standard engineered slab off a geotech.
I price both into the feasibility so it reflects your block and home.

How It Works
From First Call to Final Key
KDR starts with an honest look at the existing house. Sometimes it's worth keeping. Most Lansdowne homes from the 1940s–1970s — especially fibro and brick-veneer — are beyond the point where renovation makes sense. We tell you straight.
⏱Demolition is pre-approved to run parallel with rebuild design. Asbestos cleared, services abolished, site stripped in a single mobilisation. Geotech reconfirms Class M soil with the old house gone.
⏱New house goes up on the same footprint or a better one, whichever serves the block. Modern NCC envelope, better orientation, fit-for-purpose room sizes. The suburb stays the same; the house finally fits it.
⏱Final handover: new OC, six-year structural warranty, all the documentation on your Lansdowne block you'd get on a greenfield build. The only difference is you still live in the street you chose.
