Duplex or Side-by-Side Dwellings

Embark on a comprehensive journey with us, from the initial concept to the final design stage, as we offer a range of services for duplex houses.

Acquiring a planning permit for duplex houses poses a unique set of challenges, requiring meticulous attention to wider frontages, shared walls on boundaries, and potential amenity impacts on the neighbourhood. While certain councils may discourage duplex houses through special residential policies, those in close proximity to the city often present opportunities for side-by-side dwellings. Leveraging our expertise, we specialise in obtaining permits for duplex houses, adeptly navigating the intricacies of the challenging planning process.
