Reimagining your block. Redefining the way you live.

At Sarelle Homes, we guide families through every step as trusted knock down rebuild builders in Sydney, turning an outdated or restrictive home into something truly personal and beautifully considered. 

A knockdown rebuild allows you to stay connected to the community you cherish while creating a home tailored to your needs, tastes, and long-term vision. Our team brings clarity, confidence, and craftsmanship to the process, so you can embrace a new beginning without leaving the place that already feels like home.

A knockdown rebuild becomes far less daunting when you have a team who listens, guides, and elevates every detail. Together, we can create a home that reflects where you’ve been, and where you’re going.

FAQ

Do you have a design specifically for knock-down rebuilds?

Yes, all our homes include a complete Custom Design process, where you will sit one-on-one with our experienced Designers to help create your dream home.  We understand that every client, Block, and Council has different needs, and no two are the same, so you must be flexible in crafting a house that aligns with compliance and clients’ needs, Expectations, and budget.

Do you have knock-down rebuild expertise?

Yes, we do. Sarelle has a team with well over 40 years of experience and multiple industry awards. We bring trusted knowledge and craftsmanship to every project, from arranging the Plans, Approvals, Demolition, construction, pool, and landscaping, if you want.

Can you organise demolition?

Yes, we have preferred demolition contractors that we work with. We can ask for a quote for demolition and include that in your building contract.

Do you do duplexes in knock-down rebuild areas?

Yes, we can, and we are also equipped to manage all the subdivisions and service provisions required to complete the project from start to finish.

I have DA approval. Will you build with my plans?

Yes. We can build using owner-supplied plans. We will need to assess each plan to ensure it is detailed and provides adequate information for us to build your new home to a high standard, given the time and resources required to prepare a detailed tender. Sarelle Homes charges a fee for this service, which is credited against your overall build cost once you have signed your building contract.

What is the difference between CDC & DA approval?

A Complying Development Certificate (CDC) is an NSW state government Environmental Planning Policy (SEPP) that outlines the generic housing code requirements. If your proposed dwelling complies with the SEPP code, then you are eligible for approval through an accredited Private Building Certifier.

A Development Application (DA) is a formal application that needs to be lodged and approved by your local council.

CDC is typically more expedient and cost-effective than a DA. If your plan doesn’t meet the requirements for a CDC, lodging a DA is the alternative. Although the DA process can take longer, the benefit of a DA is that planning policies can be more flexible on setbacks and floor-space ratio and are often assessed on merit rather than a strict guideline, as opposed to a CDC.

    What Our Clients Say

    Joash - Collaroy

    Very professional team, really made me feel at ease with the whole process. Building a home can be very stressful but I would highly recommend new homes to anyone looking for a quality builder.

    Dave - Epping

    Going into this project, I had high expectations based on the services I was promised and I was so pleased with the final designs and would definitely work with Sarelle Homes again.

    Adam - Avalon Beach

    The team are friendly, knowledgeable, selfless and above all great to work with. They explain things in a straight forward manner and make the process seem less. Great group to work with.

    Samuel - Castle Hill

    What a quality team we worked with to build our beautiful home with an attached granny flat. We've been in the house for over 7 months now and it's flown by. The process post-build was easy as well and the guys had been very helpful. Extremely happy that we've chosen to go with them.

    Christine - Thornleigh

    We did a knockdown rebuild with Sarelle Homes and couldn't be happier with the result. Our needs were quite specific and the designer, Matt did a brilliant job of creating a functional house plan which suited us perfectly. The owners of the company are very responsive to issues and are always available unlike many of the bigger companies. If you are looking for a beautiful, high quality home with exceptional customer service Sarelle Homes are the place to go.

    Ada - Waitara

    We recently worked with Sarelle Homes on our family home. Compared to other builders we spoke with, Sarelle placed a stronger emphasis on customer service and was willing to discuss and negotiate with us, making the experience more collaborative. A special thanks to Zoran, Matt, Brandon, Michael, Joe Di Meglio, and Joe Antoun for their efforts in bringing the house together, from design through to construction and customer service. Overall, we are happy with our new home.

    Trevor - Turramurra

    Sarelle Homes constructed my new family home. Throughout the building processes they kept updating me on the progress. They were very attentive to our requirements and gave full information for us to make decisions on our home. They continued to progress the construction with very few interruptions to the building process. We are very happy with the overall result and with the time that it took to complete the construction.
