Duplex Designs
Our Duplex range offers traditional, narrow lot and side by side and corner lot designs. A duplex development offers the benefit of two brand new homes on your block.
Duplex Designs
A Duplex design & development, allows for a single titled lot to be split into two independent titles (Lot 1 & Lot 2). There are three main types of (Land separated) duplex styles -
Traditional “house behind a house” style duplex
Side by side duplex design
Corner lot duplex design
95% of the designs we create for our clients are customised specifically to the lot shape, Shire requirements and our customers expectations and budget! If your serious about building a Duplex Development, it is critical we run a true feasibility of costs and show the appropriate design options.
Traditional Duplex Designs
If you have a standard shaped block, a traditional duplex development may be your best option! A lot of councils are now limiting the number of driveways coming off standard lot shapes and forcing our designs to have only one council crossover or not allowing side by side developments. This type of design is essentially a new house behind a new house.

Increased Equity and Rental Income
By developing a duplex, you effectively double the dwellings on your block, increasing property equity and potential rental income. Whether you choose to live in one unit and rent the other or lease both, the financial benefits are substantial.
Side by Side Duplex Designs
Side by side duplex designs are very poplar where one wants a more traditional family layout. The designs are based off narrow style designs and typically range from 8 meters to 12 meters in width. This helps the homes reach better resale, by offering their own street frontage to the main road.
Architectural or Project Builder Style Options Available!

Over 3,000 plans available!
- Corner Block: Be aware of potential access constraints near main intersections, such as traffic lights or non-mountable traffic islands, which may limit driveway positioning.
- Sewer Pipe Location: Check for underground sewer pipes (easements), as they are no-build zones that may impact your duplex plans.
- Zoning: Confirm the number of dwellings allowed per square meter by consulting your local council's mapping system.
- Old Swimming Pools and Septic Systems: Swimming pools should have the top 600mm edge removed and filled with clean building sand. Septic systems need partial removal, with proper compaction and certification to meet engineering and council standards.
