What do you get with a knock down and rebuild?
We assess whether rebuilding is better value than extending and renovating, prepare the planning application for the replacement dwelling, manage the demolition notice and asbestos survey, then build the new home. The process runs much like a new build once the old house is cleared.
- Planning and building control applications to the council
- New foundations, structure and full fit-out
- Reconnection of services and landscaping

How is a knock down and rebuild approved in Craigavon?
Northern Ireland projects need planning clearance and building control approval from the local council. We prepare the applications and agree any work near neighbouring property directly with the neighbours.
This needs full planning permission from the council in Northern Ireland, plus building control approval.
What can change the price or programme?
- You will need somewhere to live for most of a year.
- Planning policy on replacement dwellings varies, especially in green belt and countryside.
