These builds maximise return by offering two income streams from one property. You can lease both dwellings or live in one and rent the other. We ensure designs attract premium tenants and comply with all local planning regulations.

While we don’t provide finance directly, we can introduce you to trusted mortgage brokers and advisors in Camden and the Southern Highlands. We’ll also work with your budget to ensure your project stays financially manageable.

Costs vary based on home type, size, complexity, and finish level. Single-storey homes start at a lower price point, while duplexes and custom builds may require more budget. After our consultation, we’ll provide a tailored estimate.

A duplex is two dwellings joined by a common wall, typically side-by-side. A dual occupancy home can be attached or detached but still share one title. Both options are ideal for investors or multi-generational families.

We assess your block’s size, slope, council zoning, and orientation. For example, on a 450m² block in Wollongong, the 50% floor space ratio allows up to 225m² in total dwelling space. We’ll recommend what’s viable and most effective for your goals.
