Our guide to building a Duplex
At King Homes NSW, we take pride in offering top-notch duplex home designs that cater to a variety of needs and investment goals. Our end-to-end service ensures a seamless process, from feasibility assessment to project management and construction. Whether you’re considering a side-by-side duplex for dual occupancy or seeking an investment opportunity, our expertly designed duplexes offer the perfect balance of functionality and aesthetics.
Dual Occupancy Flexibility:
Duplex homes offer unique flexibility, allowing you to explore various living arrangements. Whether you plan to develop with a family member or friend, live in one home while renting out the other, or even sell both dwellings, a duplex presents a versatile housing solution to suit your specific requirements.
Increased Profit Potential:
For both investors and owner-occupiers, duplex construction presents a financially attractive opportunity. By knocking down a single dwelling on a single block and building multiple homes, you can maximise your profits. The outlay costs for one block of land yield multiple dwellings, resulting in an increased potential for returns on your investment into the block of land.
Expertly Designed Floor Plans:
Our standard range of duplex designs and floor plans has been expertly crafted to adhere to most local area planning requirements. With a focus on both functionality and aesthetics, our duplexes provide you with the option to personalize your home. Choose from flexible dual occupancy house plan options, custom interior selections, finishes, features, and a selection of architecturally inspired facades to create a space that suits your unique style.
Alternatively, we can work with you to modify one of our existing designs or design a brand new Duplex together. We also accept client supplied plans.
Seamless Delivery Process:
Our experienced project team will be with you every step of the way, ensuring a smooth and efficient construction process. From liaising with demolition contractors and builders to handling approvals from local councils, our team takes care of the details, leaving you with peace of mind throughout the entire build.
Uncompromising Quality:
We take great pride in the materials, fixtures, and tradespeople we use in our dual living home designs and builds. This commitment to quality allows us to back every King Homes duplex with a 25-year structural guarantee and a service warranty, offering you the assurance of a well-crafted and enduring living space.

Popular asked questions

Dual occupancy, is also commonly known as a Duplex, and is a term for building two or more individual houses, with different contracts on the same block of land.
Duplex homes offer unique flexibility, allowing you to explore various living arrangements.

What is the CDC process to build a Duplex?
In Sydney, many duplex projects can be approved through the Complying Development Certificate (CDC) process. CDC is a streamlined approval pathway designed to expedite the approval process for straightforward development projects that meet specific criteria.
To qualify for CDC approval, your duplex project must comply with the relevant planning controls and development standards set out in the State Environmental Planning Policy (SEPP) and the local council’s Development Control Plan (DCP). These controls may include requirements related to setbacks, building height, floor space ratio, and environmental sustainability.
The only way to determine suitability for CDC is with the Planning Certificate that you order through the relevant council. Our building and design team can assist you with sourcing this.
The CDC process typically involves submitting a development application to a certifying authority, such as a private certifier or the local council. The application will include detailed plans and documentation demonstrating compliance with the applicable planning controls and building standards.
Once the certifying authority has assessed the application and determined that it meets all requirements, they will issue a Complying Development Certificate, allowing construction to proceed. The CDC process offers a faster and more streamlined alternative to the traditional Development Application (DA) process, reducing approval times and associated costs. Our experience pre-construction team will handle this entire process for you ensuring you are well informed throughout.
Can I supply my own plans for the Duplex I want to build?
