A knockdown rebuild in Mount Lewis suits the post-war and 1960s stock on standard 500 to 700m² R2 blocks, in a small residential suburb close to Bankstown CBD. Renewal activity is increasing, so a rebuild fits the direction of the pocket.
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.
Mount Lewis is R2, so this is a single-home rebuild suburb, well placed near Bankstown.

Small pocket near Bankstown
Mount Lewis is a small residential suburb close to Bankstown CBD, where renewal activity is increasing. On standard 500 to 700m² blocks, the post-war and 1960s stock is aging into rebuild territory, so a knockdown resets a dated home into a modern one.
The CBD proximity keeps you central to amenities and transport.
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.
