Custom homes
in Moorabbin
Moorabbin is one of the south east's best knockdown-rebuild opportunities — established streets, good-sized blocks, and a location that's only getting more sought-after. Crowncon Homes is currently on the ground with a knockdown rebuild here, start to finish.
Knockdown rebuild
territory
Moorabbin sits in the City of Kingston, on well-located blocks that are increasingly being knocked down and rebuilt rather than renovated. We're currently managing exactly that kind of project here — demolition through to handover, one builder the whole way. We know the permit process, the site constraints, and what a knockdown rebuild in this pocket actually costs to get right.
Moorabbin's appeal is straightforward: established streets close to the train line and Bentleigh's shopping strip, with block sizes that are getting harder to find closer to the bay. The homes on those blocks are often 30 to 50 years old — solid land, tired house. That's exactly the gap a knockdown rebuild is built to close, and it's the project we're on-site with right now.
Live Local Experience
We're currently building a knockdown rebuild in Moorabbin — not a hypothetical, an active site. That means real, current answers on council timelines and site conditions.
Premium Inclusions
Caesarstone, Fisher & Paykel, James Hardie, Smeg — the finish level Moorabbin buyers expect from a home built to replace, not just renovate, what was there before.
Demolition & Site Costs Included Upfront
On a knockdown rebuild, demolition and site works are where budgets usually blow out. We cost them into your fixed price before you sign — not as a variation discovered mid-build.
Tim On Every Build
One builder, your home, from first conversation to handover. No project managers you've never met. Just Tim and your Moorabbin build.

The questions we hear most from Moorabbin families before they commit.
What council covers Moorabbin?
Moorabbin sits in the City of Kingston. We're currently managing an active knockdown rebuild here, so we're working with Kingston's current permit timelines and requirements in real time, not from memory.
Is Moorabbin a good suburb for a knockdown rebuild?
Yes. Moorabbin has a strong stock of older homes on well-sized, well-located blocks — exactly the profile that makes a knockdown rebuild more cost-effective than trying to renovate around an ageing structure. It's also close enough to the train line and Bentleigh's shopping strip to hold its value well.
How long does a knockdown rebuild in Moorabbin take?
Plan for 12 to 24 months from your first serious conversation to handover once design, council approvals, and demolition are accounted for — construction itself typically runs 8 to 12 months. Being on the ground here already, we manage the approvals stage so you're not the one chasing council.
What's a typical block size in Moorabbin?
Most established Moorabbin blocks we see sit in the 550-700sqm range, which comfortably carries a considered single or double-storey family home once demolition and site costs are properly budgeted for up front.
