Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Future knock-down-rebuild. What is worth to do today? 3Mar 13, 2023 4:55 pm Thanks for your response Infinite-Justice. Regarding the 2 points: 1) I was not thinking of doing a survey. As I am on a corner, this side fence would be on the boundary between my land and the sidewalk. There is already a little brick wall which is the de-facto separation between my property and the sidewalk (Council/public property). There are no many other options, in terms of position of this fence. In terms of distance, I would like to build the new house at least a couple of meters from that boundary shared with the sidewalk/street. So, this should not be an inconvenience for a future builder. Main concerns could actually be the style and the risk of damage during demolition. Anyway, I was thinking to a brushwood fence, which should be a "neutral" style and be OK with many house designs? 2) Could you please elaborate a bit more on your comment regarding the new crossover/invert? Why do you believe these will be demolished? I have seen many houses demolished and rebuilt, and none of them demolishes the crossover (that is: the sloped piece of sidewalk which allows to drive a car from the street into your property). In this regard, I was thinking that - in future - a demolition company and a builder can access the property from the side street with excavators and other heavy equipment. So, the new crossover (which would be on the front street) would not be used/damaged. If I can, will attach a picture to explain better. I'm on that journey. I had to demolish a single story brick veneer on concrete raft slab about 220 sq meters for about $19k.
