We demolish, design, and build new homes on existing blocks across Sydney. When renovation isn't enough, start fresh. A brand new home on the land you already love.
When the existing house has too many problems, structural issues, asbestos throughout, a floor plan that can't be fixed, or renovation costs that approach new-build prices, it makes more sense to start again. You keep the block you love and get the home you actually want.
METCON manages knock-down rebuilds from demolition through to handover. One builder handles the demolition, site clearing, council approvals, engineering, construction, and final certification. No gaps between contractors, no coordination headaches.
Whether it's a modest family home or a high-end custom build, starting from scratch on your own block lets you design exactly the home you need, built to current standards and energy codes.
If any of these sound familiar, it is worth a free site visit. We will tell you straight what your site needs.
Once renovation reaches this threshold, a new build gives you a better home for similar or less money.
When foundations, framing, and roofing all need work, the existing structure has no value to save.
Homes built before 1990 often contain asbestos in multiple locations. Full removal plus renovation can exceed rebuild cost.
Some layouts are fundamentally wrong, low ceilings, poor orientation, structural walls in all the wrong places.
A new build meets current NCC energy, accessibility, and structural standards automatically.
Many older homes don't maximise the block. A new design can capture views, light, and outdoor space the old home misses.

Real reviews from homeowners, strata and builders.
I called three builders and METCON were the only ones who actually came to look at the site before quoting. Honest pricing, no surprises.
We got three quotes. METCON was not the cheapest but was clearly the most thorough. Worth every dollar.
They handled the DA, the engineer, and the build. We didn't have to chase council once. Massive wall, done in under two weeks.
Straight answers from the builder. Anything else, just ask.
It depends on the scope. Typical durations:
We provide a detailed project timeline with your quote so you know exactly what to expect.
In many cases, home extensions and granny flats can be approved through a Complying Development Certificate (CDC), which is faster than a full DA.
This depends on factors like your property's zoning, heritage overlays, flood mapping, bushfire risk and the scope of the work.
We handle the approval process and can advise you on the fastest path to getting your project started.
In most cases, yes. For smaller renovations like bathrooms or kitchens, you can usually stay in the home.
For major structural works, first floor additions or knock-down rebuilds, you may need to move out temporarily. We will advise you during the planning stage and do everything we can to minimise disruption.
Every METCON quote is fully itemised and includes:
There are no hidden costs. What we quote is what you pay, unless you request changes to the scope.
