Understanding the Demo Process

Unlike building a custom home on undeveloped land, replacing an existing home begins with a thorough assessment of the current residence.

Our team can help you decide if any of the materials, fixtures or appliances are worth saving or donating to a nonprofit.

We’ll take the time to walk the property with you and determine the best placement of your new home. 

Demo can add a few weeks to your construction timeline. We’ll help you understand what your homeowner responsibilities are in terms of contacting utility companies or other tasks. 

Once the existing house is removed, and your design is finalized, we can begin the custom home building process.

You will be involved along the way to select all the materials for your new home, guided by our selections coordinator.

Our clients find the process of meeting with local high-end suppliers fun and exciting.

You’ll start to see your new home coming to life.

Understanding the Teardown Process

Is a Demo and Build Right for You?

Purchasing an existing home that’s in a great location but is not your ideal house offers you two options: make renovations or demo the house and start with a fresh slate.

One thing to remember is that renovations are time-consuming and often uncover unpleasant and costly surprises. Instead of working around outdated systems and structural challenges, it could be more sensible to replace the existing house completely with exactly what you want.

Advantages of a Demo and Build

Retrofitting the current home amenities and styles into an existing house can be difficult or even impossible. Today’s home innovations create buildings that are more energy efficient and better suited to the way people want to live today. 

With a demo and build, your building crew will be able to work efficiently with materials they are familiar with and well-conceived plans. A teardown and build could even cost you less money and aggravation than a whole home renovation.

Teardown and Build Advantages

Location, Location, Location

The most enticing reason to demo and build is the ability to live in your first-choice community.

Undeveloped building lots in Indian Hill and other desirable Cincinnati areas are hard to find.

Purchasing an existing house on a lot you love gives you a shortcut.

No more searching for available property, and you can take advantage of a well-established site.
