Regulations like minimum setbacks depend on your local council, but it’s common for around 900mm clearance to be required on each side. With a zero-lot boundary, it’s sometimes possible to build right to one edge, increasing the width available for your home’s façade. Make sure to confirm specific rules with your local authority and remember; our team is happy to help guide you through the process.
Not at all. With the right floorplan, features such as open-plan living, generous windows, sliding doors, and high ceilings can make your home feel airy and spacious, even on a narrower site. Flexible layouts and thoughtful upgrades give you plenty of ways to create light-filled, comfortable interiors.
Lots measuring 12.5 metres wide are very common, seen as a smart way to access in-demand neighbourhoods where land is limited, often at a more affordable price. A more compact lot gives you the flexibility to invest in upgrades, finishes, or your own design touches.
A zero-lot boundary means your home can be constructed right up to one boundary, usually where your garage is. This helps maximise the footprint of your home on a 12.5m wide lot. For more about how zero-lot can work with your design, ask our team or visit our blog.
You’ll find a wide range of facades to suit any taste, from sleek, contemporary styles like Urban or Metro to more timeless looks such as North Hampton or Highland. Our design library makes it easy to visualise and choose your ideal street appeal.
Consider features such as skylights, taller ceilings, premium materials, or statement sliding doors that open onto an alfresco area. Our inclusion packages let you tailor finishes and design elements, adding comfort and style in all the right places.
Local planning rules such as site coverage, boundary setbacks, and zero-lot opportunities will impact your build. Working with our experienced consultants means you’ll get support with everything from site assessment to council approval and documentation.
