Award-Winning Knockdown Rebuilds in Melbourne

Stay in the neighbourhood you love with a new, luxury design.

Feeling cramped? Struggling to find a home with enough indoor space that doesn’t completely sacrifice outdoor areas? With the double-storey house designs from Long Island Homes, you don’t have to. Whether you’re building on a narrow block, planning for a growing family, or looking for a more visually striking outcome, double-storey house designs give you the space you’ve always wanted.

What is a knockdown rebuild?

Love Your Home Again

A knockdown rebuild gives you the chance to demolish your existing home and build a brand new home on the same block. You get to stay on the same street with the community you love, but living in a home that’s been built to your standards from the ground up.

When you partner with Long Island Homes, your knockdown rebuild comes with the same fixed-price certainty and luxury inclusions as any of our new home designs. As experienced builders in Melbourne, our team manages every step to make your journey as simple as possible.

Multi-Award-Winning Homes

When we say we care about thoughtful design, it’s not just empty words. As Melbourne home builders with over 20 years of experience, we put our heart and soul into every design, and we’re thrilled to be recognised as one of Victoria’s most awarded builders by the Master Builders Association.

A Knockdown Rebuild Is Perfect When...

Your home has outgrown your family.

The same layout that worked 10 years ago won’t feel the same as your needs grow and change.  A knockdown rebuild gives you more bedrooms, better flow, and spaces that make sense.

You love your location.

When you’ve found the right suburb, the right street, the right schools, it’s hard to leave just because your home isn’t the right fit anymore. A knockdown rebuild means you keep everything you love about where you live and start fresh with the home you’ve always wanted.

Renovating doesn't make sense.

Sometimes the cost of fixing what’s there outweighs the cost of starting new. A knockdown rebuild gives you a structurally sound new home without carrying forward the problems of the old one.
