Wollongong Council has specific requirements for knock down rebuilds, from heritage considerations in certain areas to bushfire attack level ratings and coastal setback regulations. Our proven expertise means your DA gets approved without costly delays or rejections.
Investment That Makes Financial Sense
Many Wollongong homeowners discover knock down rebuild costs less than expected while delivering better value than alternatives:
Compared to Renovating: Extensive renovations on older homes often cost 60-70% of a full rebuild while still leaving you with old wiring, old plumbing, and structural limitations. You're pouring money into a compromised foundation.
Compared to Buying New: Purchasing an established home in your desired Wollongong suburb, then renovating to your standards, typically costs more than knocking down your current property and rebuilding. Plus you avoid stamp duty on a new purchase.
Compared to Moving: Selling your current home, paying agent fees and stamp duty on a new purchase, then still needing to renovate, burns capital that could fund a superior rebuild on your existing land.

Absolutely! We work with many excellent local architects and designers. We can:
– Build from your architect’s plans
– Provide design-and-build service with our in-house team
– Collaborate with your designer to ensure buildability and budget alignment
Whether you bring your own plans or work with our design team, we ensure the final result is beautiful, functional, and built to the highest standards.
Our clients have the option to select our services for a professional interior designer/ selection specialist to assist in all selections, design aspects and colour choices for your new home right down to the furnishings if so desired.
We recommend getting financial advice on what you can afford before embarking on this journey, we need to know this so we can advise you if your budget and dreams align!! We will be upfront and honest with you so you don’t waste your time and money designing a home you can’t afford to build.
This obviously depends on the scale of the renovation works; however we find that if there are no areas of the home left untouched and with adding extra rooms to the home generally speaking it may be more cost beneficial to knock down and rebuild. In most cases renovation works will expose some underlying issues with the existing house which ultimately results in additional unforeseen cost to the owners, like termite damage or foundation issues, electrical or plumbing issues, if your existing home is old or run down it would also be more beneficial to knock down and rebuild in the long run.
Starting from scratch gives you a blank canvas to design your dream home that is more suited to your lifestyle and needs rather than trying to adapt an existing home with its current layout and limitations.
I recommend this type of project when the existing home is no longer suitable or desirable due to factors such as age, condition, layout and you want to maximise the location.
You can customise the design of the new home to meet your needs and preferences— with options for size, layout, style, and materials.
It can allow you to start fresh with a modern, energy-efficient design that may help you save money on utility bills and maintenance costs in the long run. A new home allows you to have greater control over the design which can improve your quality of lifestyle.
Four key differences:
1. Local South Coast expertise (we know this region inside out)
2. Fixed-price contracts with transparent processes (no cost blow-outs)
3. Full project management with single point of contact (stress-free for you)
4. MBA approved with rigorous quality standards (peace of mind)
5. Personalised custom design (every home is unique to your family)
We’re not the cheapest builder – we’re the best value builder for quality-focused
families who want a stress-free building experience.
Not necessarily. We can help in several ways:
– Build on land you already own
– Knock-down rebuild on your existing property
– Provide advice on land selection before purchase
– Assess potential blocks for building suitability
Many clients come to us before purchasing land. We offer pre-purchase site assessments to help you avoid costly mistakes and find the perfect block for your dream home.
CKS Projects is a design and construction business that specialise in custom new home builds, we encourage you to make us your first point of contact, that way we can establish your needs and desires and get you started on the exciting journey of designing your new home. We work closely with our designers so we can provide you with support and suggestions on your plans from a professional builder’s perspective and make your designs are realistic to your budget.
No problem, as long as time permits and councils will allow it, we can make changes. Being a custom home builder specialist, this allows us the flexibility to make changes, we host regular site meetings to discuss any change request as we understand the importance of delivering the house of your dreams.
Yes, we encourage you to visit as we will host regular site meetings throughout the build with our clients to allow you to see the project evolve, we can also arrange an appointment on request with one of our representatives, you just need to let us know when so we can book this in.
We have a duty of care for all people entering the work site, so as long as you are accompanied by one of our representatives at all times during your visit, we can facilitate your request.
As our homes are architectural custom-built homes. A square metre rate can be very difficult and generally does not apply to us, this can change due to the level of finishes and the design criteria. No two homes we build are the same which means the m2 price is different for each home being built.
However, we do have other ways we can determine the expected cost of your custom dream home from any concept design saving you time and money designing a home over your budget.
