Knockdown rebuild builders
Knockdown rebuilds across the Macedon Ranges and surrounds.
Replace an ageing home with a custom new build, on the block you already own. A small team led by Cam Jackson, building across the Ranges and within an hour of Melbourne for over a decade. From $750,000.
No obligation. We'll talk through your block, the existing home, and what's possible.

Custom new homes on land you already own, including knockdown rebuilds.
If you love your street but your house no longer works, a knockdown rebuild lets you stay where you are and start fresh. We take on around ten new custom homes a year in the $750,000 to $2 million range, on blocks within an hour of the Macedon Ranges. We demolish the existing home and build you one that suits how you actually live now. We don’t take on renovations or extensions, those need a different kind of specialist.
Not sure if a knockdown rebuild's the right move?
It’s a question we hear a lot. Often a rebuild makes more sense than renovating an older home, and by building on land you already own you skip the stamp duty that comes with buying somewhere new.
Our builds start at $750,000, because that’s where doing it well, with our small team and the trades we trust, actually begins. If that’s near where you’re sitting, get in touch and we’ll talk it through honestly. No pressure either way.
Four things that make a real difference.
A deliberately limited number of builds each year
We don't take on more work than we can do well. Capping our build numbers means every project gets the time, the attention, and the senior people it deserves. You're never one of fifty.
Direct involvement from Cam on every project
Cam is on every site, every week. You'll know him by name, you'll have his number, and you'll see him on your build. The person who quotes your home is the person who builds it.
One site supervisor from start to finish
No revolving door of project managers. The supervisor you meet at the start is the one walking you through handover. They know your house, your trades, and the calls you've made along the way.
Handpicked trades, paid to match their standard
We work with a tight group of trades we've used for years. We pay them properly, we treat them well, and they show up because of how we work, not because they were the cheapest quote.
The simplest way to start is a 15-minute call.
No obligation, no presentation, just a real conversation about whether we're the right fit for what you're planning.
Homes we've built across the Ranges.
A clear path from first chat to handover.
A 15-minute call
No pressure, no presentation. We'll talk through your block, your budget, and what you're hoping to build. If we're a fit, we move on. If we're not, we'll point you in a useful direction.
Feasibility, then design
Before any drawings, we work through what your block can support and what your budget can deliver. You'll see real numbers early, not after months of design.
Build, with full visibility
3D renders before we start. Online client portal during the build. Cam on site every week. You'll always know what's happening and what's next.
Handover, and beyond
We don't disappear at handover. The supervisor who built your home is the one who walks you through it, and we're a phone call away if anything needs attention down the track.
What our clients say.
Cam and his team made us feel assured that we were in good hands. They always took the time to listen and offered achievable options. Communication from the team was amazing and Cam went over and above to ensure he was happy with the finish of our home.
The standout qualities for us were their transparency, custom design approach, local knowledge of the area and landscape, use of mostly local quality trades and ease of communication. JD maintained this standard throughout the entire build process.
Communication was great and we always felt informed throughout the process. The staff were lovely to deal with and always quick to answer any questions we had, no matter how small. We're really happy with how our home turned out.
Questions we get a lot.
What's the minimum I should expect to invest?
Our builds typically start around $750,000 and most clients invest somewhere between $1 million and $2 million all up. We can talk through ranges in much more detail on the call once we know more about your block, your block conditions, and what you’re trying to achieve.
Where do you build?
We build across the Macedon Ranges and surrounds. That includes Gisborne, Macedon, Mount Macedon, Riddells Creek, Romsey, Lancefield, Woodend, Kyneton, Sunbury, Daylesford, Trentham, Carlsruhe, Castlemaine, Bacchus Marsh, and through into Inner North West Melbourne. As a rule of thumb, anywhere within an hour of Gisborne.
How long does a custom build usually take?
From first conversation through to handover, most projects run 12 to 18 months. The build itself typically takes 9 to 12 months depending on size and complexity. We’ll give you a realistic timeline as part of feasibility, not just an optimistic one.
Do you take on renovations or extensions?
No. We build new custom homes from the ground up, including knockdown rebuilds where we demolish an existing home and replace it with a new one on the block you already own. We don’t take on renovations or extensions, that’s a different trade and there are specialists who do it well. If you’re not sure which path suits your block, book a call and we’ll talk it through honestly.
What happens after I book a call?
You’ll get a confirmation by email straight away. Cam will call you at the time you’ve booked. The call usually runs 15 to 25 minutes. If we’re a fit, the next step is usually a meeting in person at our studio or on your block. If we’re not the right builder for your project, we’ll tell you that on the call and where useful, point you toward someone who is.
Do I need to have plans before I contact you?
No. You can come to us with anything from a clear set of architect’s drawings to a rough idea on a napkin. We work alongside architects and designers, and we have a curated set of designs we can adapt if you’d prefer to start there. The earlier you talk to us, the more we can help shape what’s possible.
Two ways to start a conversation.
Building a home is a big decision and we know you might not be ready to talk yet. When you are, here are two simple ways to begin. Whichever you pick, you'll hear from us within one business day.

We'll come back to you within one business day, by phone or email, whichever you prefer.
