If your home no longer meets your needs but you love your location, an extension or knock down rebuild can be the ideal solution.
Roweanne Builders specialises in home extensions and knock down rebuilds in Shepparton and across regional Victoria. With over 40 years of experience in the building industry, we help homeowners make informed decisions about whether to extend, rebuild, or completely reimagine their home.
Home extensions are ideal for families and couples who want to add space without moving. This may include extra bedrooms, ensuites, expanded living areas, or a redesigned layout that better suits your lifestyle. We carefully integrate new spaces with your existing home so the final result feels seamless, practical, and built to last.
For homes that no longer suit modern living or require extensive structural changes, a knock down rebuild can offer a smarter long term outcome. This option allows you to start fresh on your existing block while retaining the location you love. We manage the entire process, from planning and permits through to demolition, construction, and final handover.
Our team provides honest guidance on whether an extension or knock down rebuild is the best option for your property, budget, and future plans. We take the time to understand how you live, what you need now, and how your home should function in the years ahead.
Every project is managed end to end by experienced builders. We handle design coordination, council approvals, structural works, trades, and project management so you can focus on the result, not the complexity.
Roweanne Builders is trusted by homeowners for our clear communication, quality workmanship, and realistic timelines. Many of our clients are couples with older children, empty nesters, or retirees looking to future proof their home for visiting family and grandkids.
Based in Shepparton, we service the Goulburn Valley, Echuca, Wodonga, Bendigo, Ballarat, and Northern Melbourne suburbs including Craigieburn, Epping, and Roxburgh Park.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it better to extend my home or do a knock down rebuild?
This depends on the condition of your existing home, your budget, and how much change you want. Extensions are often suitable when the existing structure is sound and you want to add space or improve layout. A knock down rebuild can be the better option if major structural changes are needed or if renovating would be more costly long term. Roweanne Builders provides honest advice after assessing your home so you can choose the best path forward.
How much does a home extension cost in Shepparton?
The cost of a home extension in Shepparton varies based on size, design, finishes, and structural requirements. Smaller extensions may start from the lower hundreds of thousands, while larger or more complex builds can cost more. We provide clear, detailed quotes following a site inspection so you understand exactly what is included.
How much does a knock down rebuild cost?
Knock down rebuild costs depend on demolition, design, site conditions, and the size and quality of the new home. While costs vary, many homeowners find a knock down rebuild offers better value and fewer compromises than extensive renovations. We help you compare options so you can make an informed decision
Do I need council approval for an extension or knock down rebuild?
Yes. Most home extensions and all knock down rebuilds require council approvals and building permits. Roweanne Builders manages the approval process, including permits and compliance, to ensure everything meets local regulations and requirements.
Can I live in my home during an extension?
In some cases, you may be able to live in your home during an extension, depending on the scope of work and safety considerations. For knock down rebuilds, you will need to vacate the property. We discuss living arrangements early so you can plan with confidence.
How long does an extension or knock down rebuild take?
Project timelines vary based on approvals, design complexity, and construction scope. Home extensions can take several months, while knock down rebuilds typically take longer due to demolition and full construction. We provide realistic timelines and regular updates throughout the build.
Will an extension or rebuild add value to my home?
Well designed extensions and knock down rebuilds can significantly increase both the value and liveability of your home. Projects that improve layout, add bedrooms or bathrooms, and modernise living spaces tend to deliver strong long term value.
Can you help me decide what design will work best?
Yes. We work closely with designers and consultants to create layouts that suit your lifestyle, block, and budget. We also provide practical input based on decades of building experience to ensure designs are functional and buildable.
