Are you torn between renovating your old home and starting fresh with a knock down and rebuild? Making the right choice can have a profound impact on your lifestyle, budget and future.
A knock down rebuild allows you to design and construct a home that aligns perfectly with your modern lifestyle. Say farewell to cold and cramped spaces, awkward layouts and outdated features.
Embrace open living, energy efficient designs and the latest smart home technologies, all within the suburb you are settled in and have grown to love.
A home renovation might initially seem cost effective, however, renovations often come with hidden costs that quickly add up. Structural issues and unforeseen repairs during renovating are some of the biggest surprises leading to huge budget blow outs. A knock down rebuild offers more cost certainty starting with a clean slate allowing you to plan your budget more accurately.
At Highwater Homes, we specialise in guiding homeowners through the knock down and rebuild process, ensuring a seamless transition from old to new. We assist with the design of the new home, approval process, demolition of the old home, construction of the new home and beyond.

Our Latest Knockdown and Rebuild Project Gallery
Jon, Latara and their beautiful Bernie (border collie) were living in an old, cold and dated home in a popular street in the middle of the historic town of Camden. The property was originally purchased with the intention to complete a knock-down and re-build when the time was right.
Jon and Latara had put a lot of thought and planning into the design of their new home and had worked with a draftperson to draw their plans.
"The home is just perfect! We can have our entire family visit now and entertain them all together. We can’t believe how our dream home that was on paper has turned out. We love it!"

What Our Clients Have To Say About Their Custom ‘Forever’ Homes
Our building experience has been amazing and absolutely stress free.
We originally purchased our house with the intention of doing a knock down rebuild some time in the future. Over the years we looked at a lot of floor plans with many companies but nothing ever quite suited our block and the style we wanted for our family.
We were recommended to Highwater Homes based purely on the quality of the build a family member had seen in another client’s house. From our first enquiry with Elizabeth and initial meeting with Toby, to the handover of our beautiful new family home, our building experience with Highwater Homes has been truly amazing and absolutely stress free, despite building
during COVID.
Toby was so helpful through the design stages and accommodating in so many areas, nothing was ever too much trouble. All our dealings with their office staff, tradesmen and contractors were great, and thanks to John and Kevin for overseeing our build.
The online system and app is fabulous and made the whole process smooth and transparent. Everything is in one place and if there was ever a variation cost, a question about an item or what was to be done next, it was easy to find. Toby and Elizabeth are professional and genuinely lovely people. It has been a pleasure to have them build our family home and the kids can’t wait to finally move in! We would definitely recommend them to anyone who was looking for a personal experience and a quality home.

Our house build is beautiful due to the wonderful job Highwater Homes has done.
We appreciate all that Toby and Elizabeth have done for our house build.
The process has been done very professionally and without any drama along the way. This has been due to the way in which Highwater Homes is run along with the great program of Co-construct. I have lost count how many times I have logged onto the on-line program. This made a huge difference in communication and making choices so much easier.
Our house build is beautiful and will continue to grow over the years due to the wonderful job Highwater Homes has done.

We loved the whole building experience.
Highwater Homes are a fantastic custom builder.
They re-built our home and were very personable and professional throughout the whole experience.
The process and involvement was fantastic from start to finish and I loved that they have you visit the site to confirm details throughout the process.
Their online system meant that you could see what stage the build was at and what was next to be done.
We loved the whole experience. Thank you Highwater Homes….
