Dual occupancy developments require around 3 months for design to council submission depending on client availability. From there it can take 6 to 12 months for council approval. The approval process does vary from council to council and our team is well versed in navigating the particulars of Melbourne’s councils. At Destination Living, we specialise in dual occupancy designs for challenging blocks. We follow a thorough 7 step process for all our custom builds. This allows for regular communication about the progress of your project. We update costing and time projections along the way, so there are no hidden blow-outs. Plus, our team of experts – architects, designers, and builders – are in-house, which means you get the dream team all under one roof. Our collaborative and efficient approach ensures that building your dual occupancy home becomes a reality sooner.
