FAQ


Absolutely! At Meridian Homes, we understand that every homeowner has unique needs and preferences. Our team is more than happy to work with you to make modifications to our standard plans, ensuring your new home truly reflects your personal style and requirements. While making these changes, we’ll take into account any statutory requirements and site-specific constraints to ensure a seamless building process. Let our skilled team help you create a custom knock down rebuild that perfectly suits your lifestyle and vision.

The answer is Yes. Although we don’t provide the demolition service for your knock down rebuild project directly, we can coordinate licensed and trusted contractors that can complete this for you. This includes an all-inclusive price to prepare the Demolition Application, disconnect and cap all services, remove and dispose of the existing home, and, most importantly, provide a Clearance Certificate prior to commencing construction.

If you choose to engage your own demolition contractor Meridian Homes strongly recommends selecting a reputable company that has all the appropriate licenses and can provide you with a comprehensive written quote and necessary clearance certificates.

All knock down rebuild projects require a survey of the existing block by a registered surveyor. This helps us to determine the site conditions that we are working with as well as the neighbouring homes and is required to determine costs in the design of your new home. It will also identify service connection points on your site as well as any easements and any existing features, like, trees, sewer manholes, driveway position etc..

A soil test is also required to assist us in the design of the foundations of your new home. A soil test is the only way for us to determine what is under the surface and is required for a more accurate tender price.

We will also require the Section 149 Certificate for your property. The S149 is issued by the local Council and provides us with the necessary information about your zoning and the allowed uses of your property as well as any restrictions that there may be. This also includes the history of your property as well as easements, bushfire and flood information and all the relevant planning controls that we are required to adhere to.

Each project is different and influenced by the various factors, so in our experience proper planning early on will ensure the smoothest possible path. This is done by understanding the restrictions and gaining Council’s support upfront. The entire process from planning and investigation, through development approval, demolition  and actual construction can take roughly 12 months. This can be extended where the project requires any form of subdivision, interpretation of Council control plans or simply bad weather.

The investigations we perform early on goes a long way to identify known costs. Occasionally unforeseeable issues arise that need to be addressed and they might have an impact on either the home design and/or costs. Examples of this include: conditions imposed upon the development by Council; engineering detail that must be complied with e.g. hydraulic design; impact of energy efficiency certification (Basix).

We are a family owned company that takes the time to understand the needs of our customers. Our innovative designs suit most lifestyles and family situations and if it doesn’t then we can customise something specifically for you. Our team has extensive local market knowledge and will be there to help guide you through the process from start to finish.

We operate by priding ourselves on making right & fair decisions, treating others with professionalism and doing what we promise. We continually push the boundaries of construction techniques and materials whilst always maintaining a high level of quality and performance.

Mostly, we care about families, because we are one. We will help to make your dream a reality.
