Double storey

The cost to build a two-storey home can vary significantly depending on factors such as the home design, floor area, site conditions, inclusions, façade selection and the level of customisation you choose. While a double-storey home may involve additional structural considerations compared to a single-storey design, it can also offer greater living space on a smaller block of land. This makes it a popular choice for growing families, narrow blocks and homeowners looking to maximise their land. At Rawson Homes, we offer a range of double-storey home designs to suit different lifestyles, block sizes and budgets. For the most accurate pricing, we recommend exploring our home designs or speaking with one of our Home Design Consultants, who can provide guidance tailored to your land and requirements.

Generally not. A double-storey home can involve additional construction requirements, such as a staircase and more complex structural elements. Ultimately, the overall cost depends on a range of factors including the home design, floor area, site conditions, inclusions and level of customisation. In some cases, a double-storey home can be a more cost-effective way to maximise living space on a smaller block of land. By building up rather than out, you may be able to achieve a larger home footprint while preserving more outdoor space. At Rawson Homes, we offer both single and double-storey home designs to suit different block sizes, lifestyles and budgets. Our team can help you compare your options and find a design that delivers the right balance of space, functionality and value for your needs.

Whether a double storey home is the right choice depends on your lifestyle, block of land and future needs. One of the biggest advantages of a double storey design is the ability to maximise living space without requiring a larger block. This can be particularly beneficial for growing families, multi-generational households or homeowners who want separate zones for living, working and relaxing. Double storey homes can also help preserve outdoor space, giving you more room for a backyard, garden or entertaining area while still enjoying a spacious home. At the same time, it's important to consider how you'll use your home over the long term. For some households, features such as stairs may influence the suitability of a double storey design, particularly when planning for accessibility or changing lifestyle needs. At Rawson Homes, we offer a range of single and double storey home designs to suit different families, block sizes and stages of life. Our team can help you explore the options and find the design that best supports the way you live.

There’s no standard size for a double storey home. Designs can range from compact homes for narrow blocks through to larger family homes with multiple living areas and five or more bedrooms. The overall size will depend on your lifestyle, household needs and the characteristics of your block. One of the key benefits of a double storey design is the ability to create more living space without increasing the home's footprint on the land. By building up rather than out, you can often enjoy spacious interiors while still having room for outdoor features such as a backyard, garden, pool or entertaining area. At Rawson Homes, our double storey home designs are available in a variety of sizes and layouts, giving you the flexibility to choose a home that suits your family, block and future plans.
