Frequently Asked Questions About Duplex Development
What is the difference between a duplex and dual occupancy?
While often used interchangeably, a duplex typically refers to two attached dwellings on one title, whereas dual occupancy can include both attached and detached dwellings, potentially on separate titles. Our builders will guide you through the best option for your circumstances.
Can I live in one side and rent out the other in a duplex?
Many clients choose this arrangement, getting rental income while still maintaining their lifestyle. Our custom dual occupancy designs offer privacy between dwellings through strategic layouts and acoustic treatments.
What are the investment benefits of building a dual occupancy property?
Dual occupancy developments offer multiple income streams, tax benefits, increased land value, and portfolio diversification. Our luxury duplex designs typically achieve 15-20% higher returns than single dwellings on comparable land.
Do I need special permits for dual occupancy development?
Yes, you will need permits for planning and building your dual occupancy property, as you’ll need to make sure the new build complies with your local council’s regulations. You can leave all the planning and permit regulations to the Verdé Home team!
How long does it take to build a duplex from start to finish?
A typical duplex construction timeline spans 12-18 months, including the initial consultation and design development, council approvals and documentation, the construction phase, and the final inspections and handover. We’ll make sure you’re informed at every milestone.
What size block do I need for a dual occupancy development?
Block size requirements vary depending on council regulations and site characteristics. Generally, blocks from 600sqm can accommodate dual occupancy developments, though our duplex design build team creates innovative solutions for smaller sites.
