Own a property?

Have you ever considered building a secondary dwelling on your block?

We specialise in designing and building secondary dwellings that meet the needs of our customers. Our self-contained small homes offer numerous benefits for both homeowners and renters alike.

Families

A secondary dwelling can support friends or family in need, teenagers, and aging parents, or it be rented out for additional income. It’s a great way to future-proof your property and plan for your future while also increasing your property value. Plus, it’s a way to support others in need and share your property without sharing your personal space.

As people age, many consider downsizing their homes or finding ways to generate additional income. One option that has become increasingly popular among over 55 homeowners is building a secondary dwelling on their property to rent out to others. Homeowners may also choose to move into the secondary dwelling themselves, allowing them to rent out their larger home to a family. This can supplement retirement savings and create a sense of community, addressing the isolation and loneliness that many older people face as their social networks shrink.

Investor

Adding a secondary dwelling to your property is a great way to increase your investment return without purchasing more land. You can maximize your investment potential without the added stress of real estate fees, solicitor fees, land purchase, or stamp duty.

First Homeowners / FIFO workers

If you don’t need a lot of space or work away from home, then renting out your house and living in a secondary dwelling on your property can be a practical way to achieve your life goals. It provides increased income, allowing you to pay off your property sooner. Additionally, downsizing to a smaller living space can reduce the time and effort you spend on cleaning and maintenance, freeing up valuable time and energy.
