Whether you are a developer looking to unlock the potential of your site, or an owner occupier looking to create a beautiful place to call home, duplex developments can meet a range of needs.
What is a Duplex?
Duplexes, also known as dual occupancy or side-by-side townhouses, is the term for building two individual houses on the same block of land. They can be either attached or detached and are typically done as one contract.
With our cities becoming denser and people wanting to live closer to amenity without sacrificing space and functionality of their homes, there is real demand for high quality, secure, low maintenance homes in our established suburbs.
If you’re a developer or an investor, building a duplex is a smart way to ensure you’re utilising every inch of space, whilst in turn, getting the most value and ROI out of your property.

Frequently Asked Questions
Duplexes, also known as dual occupancy or side-by-side townhouses, is the term for building two individual houses on the same block of land. They can be either attached or detached and are typically done as one contract.
Duplex developments are a great option for investors looking to maximise the rental return on a project as you can generate two rental streams. For property developers looking to demolish, build and sell homes on completion or off the plan, you can generate potential development profits, particularly in a rising market or in areas that are in low supply and high demand. If you are an owner occupier looking to upgrade the family home and want to stay in the area, you have lots of options. You can generate a secondary income stream by renting out the other property, you can sell the second property to reduce your mortgage or you can even set-up a place for your parents right next door.
Developments are most commonly found in Perth’s premium suburbs where the finished product can sell at a high value or be rented out at a great return.
Our site assessment and feasibility service will quickly establish whether your property is suitable for a duplex development. We will take into account all of the planning regulations relating to your site and take into account any of the special features your property may have.
Typically it will take around 6 months to complete the site assessment and feasibility, design and documentation and approvals stages. This however can vary for each project and depend on a number of variables. Then, when our construction partners are on site, construction of our duplex homes in Perth typically takes around 12 months and will vary based on final construction methodology and overall availability of trades and materials.
