Rebuild Calculator

We all want our homes to look their absolute best. We also need our homes to function their absolute best. However, sometimes a traditional home remodeling or renovation project is simply off the table. The reason that a traditional project might not work can vary, as there are literally dozens upon dozens of reasons that prevent different homeowners from achieving the changes they want in their home through a normal renovation.
For instance, sometimes the foundation is so incredibly damaged or cracked that remodeling the home is impractical or too costly. Other times, the support structures of the home might be so damaged that it is unsafe to continue occupancy of the home in question. Still other times, the lot upon which the home sits might be sinking and any renovation would further exacerbate this problem without addressing the underlying issue of the sinking. Finally, perhaps the most common issue that prevents a homeowner from doing a traditional rebuild is that the changes the homeowner wants to make to the home are so radically different than the existing structure that it is more economical to just tear the home down and start from scratch.
Whatever the cause that precludes a homeowner from performing a traditional renovation on their home, there is hope. This hope comes in the form of a Knockdown Rebuild. Many people are not familiar with the concept of knockdown rebuilds, so a little explanation might help in this regard. What is a knockdown rebuild? A knock down rebuild is simply an alternative to the traditional home remodeling system. In a traditional home remodeling system, many areas and aspects of the home that is remodeled are completely untouched. For instance, the support beams are often left intact, and entire rooms and sections of the home might remain the same after the remodel.
In a knock down rebuild though, the entire home is literally torn down. This is basically the homeowner starting over from scratch. As alluded to above, the most common reason that prevents a traditional home rebuild is that the changes the homeowner wants to make to the home are so dramatic that it is literally more economical to simply tear the entire structure down and start over from scratch.
It may seem odd that a homeowner would tear down an existing home and build another one. But it is in fact often very satisfying and can save money compared to buying a new home on a new lot. Destination Living offers a handy Building Calculator that helps homeowners calculate how much it will likely cost them to build a new home on their existing lot. This is all-important in determining whether a knockdown rebuild is worth the time, energy and money. But if a homeowner does settle on this path he or she will no doubt be rewarded.
