Sometimes the plot is the only thing worth keeping
When a house is tired, badly laid out or simply in the wrong shape for how you want to live — and renovation would be throwing good money after bad — a replacement dwelling is often the better answer. We demolish the existing property and build a bespoke new home in its place, handling planning, design and the build from one accountable team.
Knock-down-and-rebuild is its own discipline — demolition, planning policy and the new build all have to line up. We coordinate the lot.
From demolition to handover
- Planning — replacement-dwelling applications and policy navigation handled in-house.
- Demolition & groundworks — safe demolition, site clearance and new foundations.
- New build — a bespoke home designed around the plot, to your brief and budget.
- Full fit-out — finished to the same standard as our renovation and new build work.

Replacement Dwelling FAQs
Is a replacement dwelling better than renovating?
It depends on the existing house. Where renovation means fighting a poor layout, failing structure or planning constraints, a replacement dwelling can deliver exactly the home you want for comparable money. A feasibility study helps you decide.
Do I need planning permission to knock down and rebuild?
Usually yes — a replacement dwelling needs planning permission, and there are policy rules about the size of the replacement relative to the original. We handle the application and navigate the policy in-house.
Can you handle the demolition too?
Yes — safe demolition, site clearance and groundworks are part of the package, ahead of the new build.
