Frequently Asked Questions About Dual Living Homes in Melbourne
Q1: What is the difference between a dual occupancy and a granny flat?
A: While both options provide secondary living, a dual occupancy usually involves two self-contained dwellings of a more significant size on a single title, often necessitating a subdivision. A granny flat tends to be smaller and has more specific size limits. We can advise on the best choice for your circumstances.
Q2: How long does the entire process take from design to completion?
A: The timeline can vary depending on council approval processes and the complexity of the build. Generally, you can expect the entire project to take between 12 and 18 months. We provide a detailed timeline specific to your project after the initial consultation.
Q3: Can you help with obtaining council permits?
Absolutely. Navigating local council regulations is one of our core strengths. Our experienced team handles the entire town planning and permit application process for you, reducing stress and avoiding delays.
Q4: Do you build dual living homes on sloping blocks?
A: Yes, we specialise in designing for a variety of block types, including sloping sites. We use innovative architectural solutions to transform challenging terrain into a striking and functional feature.
