Here is a recent duplex design for two medium-sized one-bedroom builds.  This design is 42m squared each, however we can do much larger options for you.  Below using our contact form you can attach your plans which we can price your duplex build.

As well as custom-to-order duplex framing, we also do tiny homes, cabins, and sleepouts as well as full-sized large residential and multi-residential framing to cater for all home needs.

As you research the market for an affordable home, it’s likely you’ll come across a few duplex homes on your travels. A duplex is a building where two homes are connected by a shared wall in the middle. They work well as an investment product too.

They’re very common in the United States and the UK, where they’re known as semi-detached units. They were a popular design for the New Zealand government when building state homes during the 1930s and post-war 1940s and they’re still popular today with new developments all over the country, including duplexes in the mix alongside standalone homes, terraced units and tiny homes.

According to real estate agents a duplex home will tend to hold a higher value than a terraced home as they only share a wall with one neighbour and there’s often a little bit more land.

One of the biggest differences between a townhouse or terraced house in New Zealand, and a duplex, is that the latter usually has more windows too.
