Knockdown & Rebuilds
in Brisbane
Start Fresh With a New Home.
Sometimes The Location Is Right,
But The Home Isn't.
A knockdown rebuild gives you the opportunity to replace your existing property with a new home designed around your lifestyle, block and future needs, without giving up the suburb you already know and love.
Formex works with homeowners across Brisbane and surrounding areas to take knockdown rebuild projects from planning through to construction and handover.

Rebuild Services.
Moving isn't always the answer. If you already have the right location but your existing home no longer works for you, a knockdown rebuild can give you the opportunity to start again.
Instead of compromising around an existing layout, you can create a home designed around your future plans, modern functionality, current needs, desired style/layout, and site condition.
Every knockdown rebuild starts with understanding the existing property, block and project requirements. We work with your project professionals to identify the practical considerations before construction begins.
Once the project is ready to proceed, the existing property needs to be removed and the site prepared for the new build.
Build a new home from the ground up around your plans, lifestyle and block. We manage the construction process with close supervision, quality-focused workmanship and regular communication.
Already have an architectural design? We can work alongside your architect and project professionals to bring your plans to life.
Site conditions can influence how a new home is designed and constructed. We work with the relevant engineers and professionals to develop practical building solutions suited to your site.
From early cost guidance and pre-construction planning through to construction and handover, Formex helps you understand what is involved at each stage of your project.

- Your Block & Site ConditionsThe size, shape, slope, access and other site conditions can influence the design, construction approach and overall project requirements.
- Your New Home DesignWe review your plans and work alongside your architect, engineers and other project professionals to understand how the proposed home will work on your site.
- Construction RequirementsFrom site preparation and structural requirements to access and construction logistics, we identify practical considerations that may affect the build.
- Project CostsWe provide early cost guidance to help you understand the likely investment before construction is finalised, based on the project scope and available information.

Right for You?
