Kate's Investment Duplex
Unley, SA
The Challenge
Kate identified a large block in Unley with development potential but had never undertaken a property development before. She needed to understand if the numbers stacked up and how to navigate the process.
The existing house was tenanted, adding complexity to the timeline. Kate needed a clear roadmap and confidence that the investment would deliver the returns she projected.
The Betterbuild Solution
Our feasibility assessment confirmed the site could accommodate two quality townhouses and validated Kate's financial projections. We identified council requirements early to avoid costly surprises.
Through Budget Planning, we established realistic construction costs and helped Kate secure appropriate financing. Our Builder Select service introduced her to three builders experienced in duplex developments, ensuring competitive pricing and proven capability.
The Result
Kate's duplex development was completed on budget, creating $320,000 in equity. She retained one townhouse as a high-yield rental and sold the other to repay development costs.
The project gave Kate the confidence and experience to pursue further developments, with Betterbuild's guidance proving invaluable for a first-time developer.
"As a first-time developer, I had no idea where to start. Betterbuild validated my concept, helped me find the right builder, and gave me confidence throughout. The result exceeded my expectations."
