A knockdown rebuild in Parramatta costs $450,000–$1,200,000+. Standard single-storey from $450K, two-storey from $650K. Buildana manages demolition, City of Parramatta Council approvals, and construction under one fixed-price contract.
New Home on Your Parramatta Block
Knockdown rebuild in Parramatta depends entirely on which part you hold, because this is Sydney's second CBD — R4 towers dominate the core, the heritage precinct is nationally significant, and the detached stock sits on the residential perimeter on 350 to 600m² blocks.
On the perimeter R2 streets, a rebuild of the Federation-to-post-war stock works well, with the Metro West and light rail lifting the whole city. Near the core, redevelopment value dominates. And on the heritage streets around St John's, Lancer Barracks and the historic core, protections are strict.
The ground is Wianamatta Shale, so 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. Tell me what you own and I will give you the honest path.

Three different Parramattas
Parramatta is Sydney's second CBD — R4 towers in the core, a nationally significant heritage precinct, and detached Federation-to-post-war stock on the residential perimeter. On the perimeter R2 streets, a rebuild works well, and the Metro West and light rail are lifting the whole city.
Near the core, redevelopment value dominates, and on the heritage streets the protections are strict. I check the mapping first.
Shale and old stock
The Wianamatta Shale takes a slab designed off a real geotech. The pre-war stock carries asbestos and lead paint, so a licensed strip-out leads the demolition.
On the perimeter blocks, the 600m² duplex minimum puts a dual-occupancy in play on the larger lots.

How It Works
From First Call to Final Key
Everything that has to be right before we touch the ground. KDR feasibility is two questions: what can the block legally support, and is it cheaper to build new than fix old. We answer both in writing within a week, with cost ranges grounded in current Parramatta market data — not generic Sydney averages. New home designed for your Parramatta block — maximising FSR, orientation, and streetscape. Working drawings, engineering, and BASIX prepared. CDC or DA lodged with City of Parramatta Council.
⏱The Parramatta construction phase. Fixed price, programmed, supervised. Full demolition management: asbestos survey report, licensed removal where required, structural demolition, site clearing, temporary fencing, and dust/noise management. City of Parramatta Council demolition permit obtained beforehand. Build sequence: site prep, slab pour, frame stand, roof, brickwork, lock-up, plumbing and electrical rough-in, plaster, internal fit-out, kitchen install, tiling, flooring, painting, external works, final clean. Each stage signed off before payment release.
⏱The job isn't done when the site's clean; it's done when you have keys, certificates and warranties. Defect-free handover inspection, OC issued, keys in hand. Permanent services reconnected, landscaping complete, 6-year structural warranty, and full maintenance guide provided.
