Demolish and Rebuild in Middle Dural
A knockdown rebuild in Middle Dural is a premium acreage project — two to ten-plus hectare RU2 holdings with equestrian and orchard heritage on Hawkesbury Sandstone. A rebuild delivers a substantial rural-residential home on a serious semi-rural holding.
The acreage path applies in full: RU2 rural provisions, significant bushfire-prone overlays shaping the design to its BAL rating, on-site wastewater, and sandstone that can mean serious rock, priced from a real geotech bore.
There is no rail out here — the holdings, the privacy and the semi-rural character are the point. I plan the rebuild as acreage from the start, because a suburban approach goes wrong fast on land like this.

Serious holdings, planned as acreage
Middle Dural's two to ten-plus hectare RU2 holdings carry equestrian and orchard heritage and a premium semi-rural character. A rebuild delivers a substantial home that suits the holding, with the full rural planning path — provisions, access, setbacks — applying.
I plan it as acreage from the start rather than forcing a suburban template onto rural land.
Bushfire, wastewater and rock
The bushfire-prone overlays are significant, so the design meets its BAL rating from the RFS assessment. On-site wastewater is designed for the holding, and the Hawkesbury Sandstone can mean serious rock, priced from a real geotech bore.
All of it is in the feasibility and the fixed price before we start.

How It Works
From First Call to Final Key
Free site inspection of your Middle Dural property. We check lot dimensions, The Hills Shire Council's planning controls, existing home condition, and potential asbestos. Written assessment with budget estimate within 5 business days.
⏱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 Mixed rural-era dwelling. Asbestos removal by certified contractors (if present). Site cleared, levelled, and ready for new slab. Typically 1–2 weeks.
⏱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. Quality inspections at every stage.
⏱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.
