Wombarra Beach House
The removal of an old fibro cottage allowed this clever design to be specifically created to suit the elongated narrow sloping lot. The garage offers additional depth for storage and allows the owners to step up into the entry foyer by stairs at the rear which also provide a clever use of under stair storage.
From the entry foyer, the first floor is accessed and the open plan living, dining and galley kitchen open to a fabulous deck featuring highlight windows above the bifold doors. A standout feature of the living area is the feature fireplace and an open void overlooking the entry foyer. With views of the ocean from up high within the escarpment, the owners now have their dream home in an area they love.
Thirroul Knockdown Rebuild
This large corner block in Thirroul was held by the one family for 20 years before deciding a knockdown rebuild dual occupancy was the perfect way to leave a legacy for their children. Part of the appeal of this project is the uniformity of design and materials used for both townhouses, while giving each townhouse its own unique character.
The colour palette was restrained, gentle, and consistent thanks to the Evolution Building Group colour consultant's recommendations. These townhouses create an instant impression and with only a short walk to the beach they really have achieved the knockdown and rebuild dream.


Award-Winning Woonona
"Evolution Building Group completed our ‘dream home’. It’s been one of the most exciting, enjoyable experiences of our lives. Darrin and his team have been an integral part of that. We custom-designed our home, so we only ever saw a 3D or a floor plan of the house.
It was a bit nerve-wracking watching it ‘come to life’, but Darrin allowed us to be very involved and always informed of every facet of the build. We consider that to be really important, as it decreases dissatisfaction in the end. The quality and workmanship of his trade are impressive.
All of the suppliers Evolution Building Group use make the selection process of products easy and enjoyable. We would highly recommend Evolution Building Group as a builder who will fulfil and go above what is expected of them. Our home is a testament to that." Liane & John
Striking Modern Style
Within a world of uninspiring red brick abodes, Evolution Building Group replaced a tired, single-story house with two striking, modern homes.
This ultra-spacious, contemporary duplex was meticulously built to provide low-maintenance, luxurious living. The duplex features strong, clean lines inside and out. Sleek, cubist shapes and gleaming glass are harmonised with natural materials to create two welcoming yet sophisticated homes.
The high quality of this build begins at the nature strip with low, white-rendered retaining walls echoing the upper level of the duplex and providing continuity of the modernist style.

Knockdown & Rebuild Services
Keep the Location You Love
There’s something special about staying in a neighbourhood you already know. Whether it’s being close to family, schools or your favourite beach, many homeowners aren’t eager to give up their current location just to upgrade their living space. A knockdown rebuild offers the ideal solution—allowing you to stay put while creating a brand-new home that better suits your lifestyle and needs.
The knockdown rebuild in Wollongong approach is especially popular with families who’ve outgrown their current home but don’t want the hassle of relocating. Rather than searching for the perfect property, you can transform your existing block into a modern residence that reflects your taste and provides long-term comfort.
Upgrade Without Compromise
Unlike renovations that often involve limitations and hidden costs, a knockdown rebuild gives you the freedom to start fresh. You’re not constrained by outdated layouts, ageing infrastructure or design restrictions. Instead, you can build a home with improved energy efficiency, open-plan living, smart storage and the latest finishes—all without leaving your street.
This option also tends to be more cost-effective in the long run, as it avoids the patchwork results and ongoing expenses that often come with major renovations. For many, it’s the best of both worlds: the lifestyle you love and a home built for today—and tomorrow.
End-to-End Project Management
Demolition Coordination Included
A successful knockdown rebuild relies on careful planning right from the start. That’s why working with a team that offers complete project management is so important. From handling demolition permits to coordinating reliable contractors, a professional builder takes the stress out of what could otherwise be a daunting process.
Removing the old structure is more than just knocking down walls—it involves navigating local regulations, safety standards and environmental concerns. With everything managed in-house, you’re free to focus on the exciting part: designing your new home.
Streamlined Council Approvals
Local council approvals can be one of the more time-consuming parts of any building project. Fortunately, an experienced team with strong ties to the area knows how to navigate these systems efficiently. They’ll submit the necessary applications, liaise with council officers and keep you informed every step of the way.
Choosing a knockdown rebuild in Wollongong means working with professionals who understand the specific planning rules and expectations unique to the region. This local knowledge helps move the process along smoothly and ensures nothing gets held up unnecessarily.
Smart Designs for Your Block
Maximise Natural Light & Flow
Every block of land is different and the right design can make all the difference when it comes to comfort and functionality. With thoughtful planning, your new home can take full advantage of natural sunlight, cross-ventilation and outdoor connectivity. A skilled design team will consider the orientation, slope and dimensions of your land to craft a layout that works with—not against—the environment.
By rethinking the placement of living areas, bedrooms and entertaining spaces, your new home can feel more spacious, welcoming and energy-efficient—all without increasing the footprint unnecessarily.
Built to Suit Your Lifestyle
The real beauty of starting fresh is that you don’t have to compromise. Whether you want to accommodate a growing family, create a dedicated work-from-home zone or future-proof the layout for changing needs, you’ll have the flexibility to make it your own. A knockdown rebuild in Wollongong allows you to turn your dream layout into a reality while staying in the community you value most.
From open-plan living and high ceilings to smart storage and modern kitchens, every feature is designed with your lifestyle in mind. The result is a purpose-built home that feels just right because it was built just for you.
Frequently Asked Questions
When/why should you consider a knockdown and rebuild?
A knockdown and rebuild may be the best choice when the cost of renovating or extending your existing home exceeds the benefits. It's ideal if your home no longer meets structural safety standards, is outdated in terms of energy efficiency, or if the layout does not align with modern living requirements.
This option allows you to design a home tailored to your lifestyle while staying in your current location. For knockdown rebuilds in Wollongong that transform your living space, contact us today!
What happens to the old house after it's knocked down?
The old house is dismantled carefully to minimise waste. Salvageable materials such as bricks, wood, and metal are often recycled, contributing to sustainable building practices. Non-recyclable materials are disposed of following local regulations to minimise environmental impact. The site is then prepared and cleared to meet the specifications for your new home build.

Will I need to relocate utilities like water, gas, and electricity?
Relocating utilities is a common requirement in knockdown rebuilds to comply with updated building codes and to accommodate the new home design. This process involves coordinating with local utility providers to ensure services are safely disconnected before demolition and reconnected according to the new home's layout.
It's essential to plan these steps to avoid delays. Need expert advice on relocating utilities for your rebuild in Wollongong? We're here to help!
