Two homes, one block, greater potential

A dual occupancy build is one of the smartest ways to get more from a single block of land. Whether you are looking to create rental income, invest for the future or keep family close while giving everyone their own space, two dwellings on one lot can make it happen.

We manage the whole project, from feasibility and design through to construction, so both homes are finished to the same high standard and the process stays clear and stress free.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Avenue Building Group have been nothing short of exceptional in delivering my bathroom renovation. Anthony initially turned up on time to quote, got the quote back to me within 24 hours, and was able to start the following Monday. While this wasn't a huge job, there were some tricky aspects to it such as under floor heating that we wanted to try to salvage. Anthony and his tradies took great care in their work and really pushed to meet deadlines. These works were part of a house sale due to separation and I have to say that not only is Anthony an outstanding builder who knows his stuff and employs highly skilled tradies, he's also a very kind guy who understood the impact that something like this can have on people. I cannot recommend Avenue Building Group highly enough and will be using them for any future renovations or builds that I undertake. It's rare to find a builder you can trust and who isn't just out to hit you with variations but I can assure you Anthony is one of those rare builders that you can absolutely trust to be fair and reasonable, all while delivering high quality works and finishes.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Avenue Building Group have been amazing from the get go. I organised a complete home renovation with their team. From planning to carrying out the job to care at the job site…I felt one hundred percent heard throughout. Amazing quality with detail and workmanship. It was a pleasure working with Anthony and his team. Looking forward to my next project with them. The team definitely deliver way above expectations and took the stress out of home improvement.

Types of dual occupancy builds

The right configuration depends on your block. Here are the most common ways our clients build two homes on one lot.

Side by Side

Two homes positioned next to each other, each with its own street frontage and entry. Ideal for wider blocks.

Front & Rear

One dwelling behind the other, making the most of narrow or deep blocks while keeping privacy for both homes.

Attached or Detached

Choose two fully separate homes or a shared-wall design, whichever best suits your land, budget and goals.

Dual occupancy FAQs

Have a question we have not covered? Call us on 0411 708 256 and we will happily talk it through.

What is a dual occupancy build?

A dual occupancy build means having two separate dwellings on a single block of land. The two homes can sit side by side or one behind the other, depending on your block, and are often used for rental income, investment or housing extended family.

Is my block suitable for dual occupancy?

It depends on the size, shape and zoning of your land, along with local council requirements. As part of our free consultation we assess your block’s potential and let you know honestly whether dual occupancy is a good fit.

Can I live in one home and rent the other?

Yes, that is one of the most popular reasons people choose dual occupancy. You can live in one dwelling and rent out the other for income, or use both however suits your family and investment goals.

Do you handle the permits and approvals?

We do. Dual occupancy projects involve additional planning steps, and we manage the approvals, permits and paperwork for you so the process stays clear and stress free. (Subdivision is a separate legal process we can point you toward.)

Do you offer fixed-price contracts?

We do. You receive a clear, fixed-price contract before any work begins, covering both dwellings, so you know exactly what your project will cost from the outset.
