Smart, Self-Contained Spaces to Suit Your Property and Lifestyle

Minor dwellings are a smart way to make the most of your land. They offer flexibility for multigenerational living, guest accommodation, or a potential rental income stream. Whether you’re planning a home for extended family or a self-contained unit to boost your property’s value, we’ll help you design and build a fully consented space that suits your needs.

From compact one-bedroom units to more generous two-bedroom layouts, each minor dwelling is carefully planned to maximise space, comfort, and privacy.

Built to the same high standards as our larger homes, these smaller builds don’t compromise on quality, finish, or performance.

Why Minor Dwellings?

The Benefits of Building a Minor Dwelling on Your Property

Income Potential

Generate long-term rental income or short-term accommodation returns on underused land.

Family Flexibility

Create independent living for parents, teenagers, or extended family—right nearby but with privacy intact.

Property Value

A well-designed minor dwelling can significantly boost your home's overall value and future resale appeal.

Smart Use of Space

Make the most of your section, especially if you’re in a zone that supports infill housing or intensification.

Low Impact, High Return

Smaller footprint, faster to build, easier to maintain. Minor dwellings are cost-effective and resource-efficient.

Future-Proofing

A minor dwelling gives you flexibility as your needs change. Whether it becomes a home office, a place for adult kids, or downsizing without leaving your section.
