New Build vs. Renovating: The Benefits Of Choosing A New Build Over Renovating
Modern living, cost efficiency, and more space – get all this and more when you build a brand new home with Dennis Family Homes. New builds benefit from a range of new amenities and appliances as standard, as well as a host of luxurious fixtures.
Whether your family would like a new home where you live now or are looking for a new start in a fresh location, Dennis Family Homes can help you. Our Knockdown Rebuild service and House and Land packages are available alongside over 40 home designs.
Knockdown Rebuild or Renovation?
Stay in the established neighbourhood and community you love, with the amenities you enjoy, while living in a new home!
A new home combines modern living and energy efficiency for cost-effective solutions well into the future. Plus, there are no hidden costs or surprises, as all the plumbing and electrical work is brand new and completed to the highest standards.
Undertaking renovations to an existing home can mean managing numerous services yourself. Existing homes can suffer from internal wear and tear that you don’t see until too late, causing expensive bills and extensive repairs beyond what you originally budgeted for.
With a Knockdown Rebuild service from Dennis Family Homes, our specialists remove the stress of managing trades, material supply, and council meetings or lengthy application processes. Design the perfect home for your family with the help of the Dennis Family Homes Showroom team. Our experts will tailor your home to your preferred style with the extras you need to suit your family, budget, and lifestyle.

First, select a block of land from our long list of locations. Locations range from Melbourne’s east and west to rural Victoria, including Ballarat, Geelong, and Shepparton. Once you’ve selected the perfect location, choose a customisable home design to build.
House and land packages are the secret to stress-free home building, as our specialists will take care of the building process from beginning to end. Once it’s time to design your home’s interior, our Colour Consultants are on hand to guide you through colour swatches, finishes, and fixtures.
