Frequently Asked Questions

What can you do with a sloping block?

There are many options to what can be achieved on a sloping block. The dwelling can be designed with split levels to cater to the slope, or perhaps storage and carparking beneath the dwelling is better suited to your living. Each dwelling is meticulously designed to give you the best possible layout that your budget can afford.

Do you recommend building on stilts?

There is nothing wrong with building on stilts. They can allow for a lot of storage space beneath the dwelling if spaced accordingly. They do require bracing that can restrict access and storage into the underside of the dwelling, although during the preliminary design phase we will be able to determine whether stilts is best for your design. Every site faces different challenges and every client has different needs, so we treat every design individually to see what is going to be the most practical method that will suit the clients needs.

Is it more expensive to build on a sloping block?

The soil classification will influence the costs more than if the block is sloping compared to being flat. Slopping blocks face their own challenges, just like every other building site. A well designed dwelling that suits the block can save you 10’s of thousands of dollars, whether on a sloping block or flat parcel of land. This is the benefit of having a custom home designed and built rather than a kit home/volume built home.

How much longer would a sloping block build take, in comparison to a normal house build?

There are many variables that can affect the costs of the build, such as; site access, complexity of the build, depth and type of foundations, civil works, arborists, size of the build, steepness of the block, etc.

Do you offer landscaping as part of your sloping block build service?

We can help with all of your building needs, whether it be designing, admin tasks, building or landscaping.
