Sometimes the street, the neighbourhood and the location are right, but the house no longer suits the way you live. Rebuilding gives you the opportunity to create a home designed for your needs without leaving the area you know.
Edina delivers selected knockdown and rebuild projects across Melbourne, bringing together architectural design coordination, demolition planning, site preparation and disciplined construction management. We assess the existing property and the new design together, so important constraints are identified before major commitments are made.
UNDERSTAND THE EXISTING SITE
We consider access, neighbouring properties, existing services, trees, drainage and demolition constraints.
PLAN THE NEW HOME
We work with your architect or designer to understand levels, structure, orientation and relevant planning requirements.
MANAGE THE TRANSITION
Demolition, protection, site establishment and construction sequencing are planned around the agreed scope.
BUILD FOR THE LONG TERM
Quality controls, clear decisions and well managed finishes help bring the new design to life.
The shape and condition of your land can affect the construction approach as much as the design itself.
SLOPING BLOCKS
A sloping site can create exceptional architecture, but access, earthworks, retaining walls, drainage and structural design need to be understood early. We coordinate the construction implications with your design team before the programme and cost are finalised.
NARROW BLOCKS
Limited access, setbacks and neighbouring properties affect how a home is designed and built. We plan site logistics, deliveries, services and structural sequencing around the constraints of the block.
GREENFIELD BLOCKS
Even a clear site needs careful planning. Ground conditions, service connections, site levels, stormwater and permit requirements can materially affect construction. We assess these matters before committing to the delivery approach.
01. Explore the opportunity
We review the location, your objectives, existing dwelling and project stage.
02. Assess the constraints
Where appropriate, surveys, consultants, authority information and paid preconstruction advice identify the principal risks.
03. Finalise design and scope
We coordinate the construction implications with the design team and prepare a proposal when the documentation is sufficiently developed.
04. Demolition and construction
Approved demolition and site works are coordinated before the new home is constructed under the agreed programme.
05. Handover
Relevant inspections, certificates, records and client handover close out the work.

Edina Building Group operates a management system certified to ISO 9001 (Quality), ISO 14001 (Environmental) and ISO 45001 (Occupational Health and Safety). Every project is planned, built and documented under the same certified quality, environmental and safety processes.
Share your suburb, property details and what you want from the new home. We will discuss whether the project suits Edina and the most useful next step.
