The approach
Multi-Residential Construction Without Compromise
Multi-residential is where most builders start shaving, with thinner walls, shared services and cheaper glazing, because nobody is standing on site to notice. As duplex home builders in Canberra, we build each dwelling the way we build a single house, because on half our sites the owner moves into one of them.
That changes what gets specified: two independent frames instead of one shared stud line, separate mains, meters and hot water, and a private courtyard each rather than a strip of shared lawn. With Canberra's missing middle housing reforms opening more RZ1 and RZ2 blocks to duplexes, townhouses and terraces, we bring the same standard to every multi residential build.
Discuss your duplex site
The same joinery, stone and hardware in both dwellings. There is no investor-grade second kitchen.
Buildings that sit down beside their neighbours instead of shouting over them.
What separates them
Dual Occupancy,
Designed for Independent Living
Acoustic separation
Discontinuous party walls. Two frames, no rigid connection, no shared noise.
Independent services
Separate mains, meters, hot water and data to every dwelling.
Private outdoor
A fenced, planted courtyard each, never a shared strip of lawn.
Individual titles
Unit titled where the site allows, so each home can be sold, held or handed on by itself.
How it runs
Six Stages for Every
Multi-Residential Project
01
Understand
What the block legally holds, from zoning and plot ratio to setbacks, solar and parking.
02
Resolve
Each dwelling planned as a home in its own right, documentation resolved together.
03
Price
One fixed price for the site, split cleanly and honestly per dwelling.
04
Build
One supervisor across the whole site, weekly photo and cost reporting.
05
Inspect
Independent inspections at every hold point, across every dwelling.
06

Multi-Residential Projects We've Built in Canberra
Under Canberra's missing middle housing reforms, in force since 1 July 2026, many RZ1 and RZ2 blocks can now take dual occupancies, townhouses or terraces, up to two storeys in RZ1 and three in RZ2. What your block can hold depends on frontage, site coverage, setbacks, trees and the Missing Middle Housing Design Guide. Our yield study answers that in about two weeks, before you spend on design. Replacing an old house? We combine it with a knock down rebuild.
No. Many owners live in one and keep or sell the other. Where the site can be unit titled, each home has its own title and services, so the choice stays yours. We confirm titling options for your block in the yield study.
No. We build a discontinuous party wall, two separate frames with no rigid connection, so sound doesn't travel between dwellings the way it does through a shared stud wall.
A duplex shares one site, one set of approvals and one site set-up, so the cost per home is usually lower than building two houses on two blocks. Your yield study sets out the numbers per dwelling, including the Lease Variation Charge, which is halved for eligible missing middle projects approved before 30 June 2029.
