FAQs
What is a duplex?
A duplex is a style of residential house where two dwellings share a central wall. The resulting two homes are usually the same size and may have ‘mirror image’ floorplans. Each has their own entrance, private outdoor areas, and the full range of rooms (including garage, kitchen and laundry).
What are the advantages of a duplex?
You’ve heard of the idea of ‘two for one’ and that’s what you get with a duplex! A duplex home offers you two homes that are separate yet together. No matter whether you rent out both dwellings or if you live in one of the two homes, you get the benefits of privacy as well as the upsides of being close together.
Can I build a duplex on my land?
Duplex homes need larger land lots than many standalone houses. You also need to confirm that the site and elements like stormwater and drainage are sufficient for a duplex build. Rawson Homes can assist you in deciding whether your land is ideal for a duplex design.
