Duplex
Development
So what is a Duplex Development?
A duplex development typically refers to a type of residential construction where a single building is divided into two separate living units. These units are usually side-by-side or stacked on top of each other, each with its own entrance, utilities, and often private outdoor space.
Duplex developments can be an efficient way to use land, as they allow for two households to occupy a single plot. They can provide an opportunity for property owners to live in one unit and rent out the other, or for families to live in close proximity while maintaining separate living spaces.
In some cases, duplexes might be part of a larger development project that includes additional housing types or amenities. The design and layout of duplexes can vary widely, depending on factors like local zoning laws, the needs of the residents, and the overall architectural style of the development.
Duplex Development - Process Explained
Designing and building a duplex development involves several key steps. Here’s a general overview of the process:
1. Research and Planning
-
Market Analysis: We evaluate the demand for duplexes in your area, including potential rental income, resale value, and target demographic.
-
Site Selection: We assist you in purchasing a suitable plot of land that complies with zoning regulations and has adequate access to utilities and infrastructure.
-
Budgeting: With our Architects and Builders hat on we set a budget that includes land acquisition, construction costs, permits, and contingency funds and prepare a Feasibility Study for you to ensure the development stacks prior to putting down any land offers.
2. Pre-Design Phase
-
Zoning and Regulations: We check local zoning laws and building codes to ensure the house plans we draw are compliant. This includes setbacks, height restrictions, and density requirements.
-
Feasibility Study: We re-assess the feasibility of the project, including site conditions, environmental impact, and potential challenges.
3. Design Phase
-
Hire Professionals: You then engage us as your architect to create detailed plans. We will also need a structural engineer and Building Surveyor in Perth to assist in this process.
-
Concept Design: Develop initial design concepts, including the layout of each unit, common areas, and exterior appearance.
-
Design Development: Refine the design, including detailed floor plans, elevations, and material selections.
-
Obtain Approvals: Submit design plans for approval from local planning and zoning authorities.
