Knockdown rebuild in Meadowbank depends on which part you hold, because the station precinct is dominated by high-rise apartments and intense R4 redevelopment, while the inland streets keep Federation cottages and post-war detached homes on 400 to 700m² blocks. On a detached inland block, a rebuild works well.
Where your block sits in or near the R4 station precinct, redevelopment value can far exceed a single rebuild, and I will tell you so. On the detached streets, the 580m² duplex minimum also makes dual-occupancy worth costing on the larger blocks.
The ground is Wianamatta Shale, so the slab is designed off a real geotech. The older 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 — rebuild, duplex or redevelop — before you commit.

Check the precinct first
Meadowbank's station precinct is intense R4 territory dominated by high-rise apartments, and a detached block in or near it can be worth far more as redevelopment than as a single home. I check where your block sits first, because the right answer swings on it.
On the inland detached streets, a rebuild resets a dated Federation or post-war home into a modern one, with the river, wharf and rail all close.
Shale, duplex maths and old stock
The Wianamatta Shale takes a slab designed off a real geotech. On the detached streets, the 580m² duplex minimum makes dual-occupancy worth costing on the larger blocks.
The older stock can carry asbestos and lead paint, so a licensed strip-out leads the demolition.
