Duplex Builder in Allambie Heights
A duplex in Allambie Heights works on the larger blocks that clear the 700m2 Warringah minimum, but the sandstone and any BAL rating shape the cost. This elevated bushland-fringe suburb runs 1960s to 1980s homes on 600 to 900m2 blocks, and at a $2.4M to $3.6M market a dual-occupancy on a qualifying lot is a strong play, close to the Northern Beaches Hospital demand. Some smaller lots fall short, so the block area is the first check.
This is Hawkesbury Sandstone, so rock excavation runs $40K to $120K and is priced honestly on both dwellings, and perimeter lots backing Manly Dam or Garigal carry a BAL rating that drives the spec. On a qualifying block a side-by-side duplex suits the elevated aspect. Where the existing home carries fibro a licensed asbestos strip-out comes first.
What I would check first on your Allambie Heights block: whether it clears the 700m2 Warringah minimum, the rock and any BAL rating, and the frontage for a side-by-side. Those set the dual-occ.
We build these fixed-price, licence HBL 487805C. Send me the block and I will tell you what dual-occupancy it carries.

Clears the 700m2 minimum
This elevated suburb runs 1960s to 1980s homes on 600 to 900m2 blocks, so the larger lots clear the 700m2 Warringah minimum.
At a $2.4M to $3.6M market a dual-occupancy on a qualifying lot is a strong play near the hospital demand.
Rock and BAL cost
This is Hawkesbury Sandstone, so rock excavation runs $40K to $120K priced honestly on both dwellings.
Perimeter lots backing Manly Dam or Garigal carry a BAL rating that drives the spec, with older fibro stripped under licence first.

How It Works
From First Call to Final Key
Feasibility covers the planning side and the financial side. Yes-or-no on whether the block supports dual occupancy under Northern Beaches Council controls, plus indicative end values, build cost, and likely yield.
⏱Dual occupancy floor plans designed for your Allambie Heights block — attached or detached configuration, vehicle access, private open space, and full Northern Beaches Council compliance..
⏱Full approval management: Statement of Environmental Effects, plans, reports, and all supporting documentation lodged with Northern Beaches Council or private certifier. We handle RFIs and conditions.
⏱Construction follows a tight programme: dual slabs in one mobilisation, paired frame stand, simultaneous lock-up, then trades rotate between sides for fit-out so no day is lost waiting on availability. The schedule is engineered, not optimistic.
⏱Both dwellings handed over with individual Occupation Certificates. Subdivision lodged for separate titles.
⏱Quality Promise
Every Buildana duplex in Allambie Heights is built under a fixed-price contract — feasibility through to dual handover and subdivision.
