Duplex Development – Booker Bay, Central Coast
This duplex development in Booker Bay, Central Coast, was designed and built for a pair of local investors who wanted to maximise the potential of their property. By knocking down an aging fibro home, they created two high-end dwellings that offered substantial resale value. This project aimed to develop the site and sell both properties for a significant return on investment, which was successfully achieved.

This dual occupancy development in Weston, Hunter Valley replaced an aging fibro shack with a modern, high-performing investment property. The project features a three-bedroom house with a single garage and a two-bedroom granny flat with an office and carport, maximising rental income and tenant flexibility.

Situated in Ashtonfield, this stylish and functional two-bedroom granny flat was custom-built for Maitland investors. The design combines quality craftsmanship and practicality, tailored to maximise the property’s dual rental income potential while creating an appealing and well-equipped space for tenants.
