A knockdown rebuild in Turramurra costs $450,000–$1,200,000+. Standard single-storey from $450K, two-storey from $650K. Buildana manages demolition, Ku-ring-gai Council approvals, and construction under one fixed-price contract.
Turramurra Knockdown Rebuilds
A knockdown rebuild in Turramurra is a premium upper North Shore project — 700 to 1,100m² blocks holding 1920s to 1960s stock, much of it heritage, in the central village of upper Ku-ring-gai with a station on the T1 line. On the back-street blocks, a rebuild generally works with standard Council controls; nearer the village, heritage limits the options.
The Heritage Conservation Areas around the village restrict demolition on certain streets, so the first thing I check is whether your block sits inside one. Away from those, the back-street blocks generally allow a knockdown rebuild, and at Turramurra values a quality home holds up well.
The ground grades Class M on the ridge with Class E pockets near the drainage lines, so the slab is designed off a real geotech. The pre-war stock almost always carries asbestos and can carry lead paint, so a licensed strip-out leads the demolition.
We rebuild fixed-price, licence HBL 487805C. Get our knockdown rebuild feasibility, with the heritage checked, before you commit.

Heritage near the village, KDR on the back streets
Turramurra is the central village of upper Ku-ring-gai, with a T1 station and Heritage Conservation Areas around the village that restrict demolition on certain streets. The first thing I check is whether your block sits inside one of those areas.
Away from them, the back-street blocks of 700 to 1,100m² generally allow a knockdown rebuild under standard Council controls, and a quality home holds its value in a suburb like this.
Ridge and drainage-line ground
The ground grades Class M on the ridge with Class E pockets near the drainage lines, so the slab is designed off a real geotech for your specific block — the E pockets need more careful footing design.
The pre-war stock almost always carries asbestos and can carry lead paint, so a licensed strip-out leads any demolition.

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 Turramurra market data — not generic Sydney averages. New home designed for your Turramurra block — maximising FSR, orientation, and streetscape. Working drawings, engineering, and BASIX prepared. CDC or DA lodged with Ku-ring-gai Council.
⏱The Turramurra 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. Ku-ring-gai 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.
⏱Quality Promise
Turramurra KDR projects run on one contract: demolition, asbestos clearance, approvals, construction, handover. One builder accountable.
