Any development can seem difficult, unless you work with a specialist.
WHY BUILD A DUPLEX?
LIVE IN ONE, LIVE OFF THE OTHER!
Your best investment is your current address. Turn one property into two homes to generate rental income or create a clever and cost-effective accommodation solution for your extended family.
COST SAVINGS
You deal with one set of plans, one approval process and one construction team, but finish your project with two homes on separate titles.
RAPID APPROVAL
The NSW Government’s Low-Rise Housing Diversity Code now allows dual occupancy properties to be approved by a Private Certifier, which saves you from the stress of a drawn-out Development Application process.
FASTER TIME TO MARKET
Due to the simplified approval process, your Sydney duplex project can be completed quickly, allowing you to achieve faster return on investment or move in sooner.
FLEXIBLE DESIGN OPTIONS
Our designers will help you tailor your new duplex to suit the specific needs of your site as well as your personal preferences.
EXTENDED FAMILY LIVING SOLUTION
Duplexes are helping to solve Sydney’s housing supply issues by giving families access to two homes on one block.
