A duplex in Burwood Heights is often not feasible, because most lots fall short of the Burwood 550m2 minimum. This small pocket between Burwood and Croydon Park runs Federation cottages, inter-war heritage and post-war brick on 300 to 550m2 R2 blocks, and on a typical lot the honest answer is a single designed home. Heritage Conservation Areas cover several streets too, so both the area and the status decide feasibility.
Where a rare larger lot clears 550m2 and sits off the heritage streets a Torrens-title duplex is feasible, but most do not, so I would rather be straight than sell you a duplex the block cannot carry. The ground is engineered off geotech to suit. Where older homes carry fibro a licensed asbestos strip-out comes first.
What I would check first on your Burwood Heights block: whether it clears the 550m2 minimum, the heritage status, and the frontage. That decides the best use.
We build these fixed-price, licence HBL 487805C. Send me the address and I will tell you honestly whether it is a duplex site.

Most lots fall short
This pocket runs Federation, inter-war and post-war stock on 300 to 550m2 R2 blocks, so most fall short of the Burwood 550m2 minimum.
On a typical lot the honest answer is a single designed home, with heritage on several streets to check.
The rare qualifying lot
Where a larger lot clears 550m2 off the heritage streets a Torrens-title duplex is feasible.
The ground is engineered off geotech, with older fibro stripped under licence first.

How It Works
From First Call to Final Key
Everything that has to be right before we touch the ground. Quick desktop check first — lot size, zoning, frontage — then full site visit if it stacks. Drainage path, neighbour overlooking, slope, services, easements. 550m² under Burwood DCP 2013 minimum is just the entry ticket; the real feasibility is whether two compliant dwellings actually fit and sell. Our architect designs both dwellings to maximise your Burwood Heights block's yield — floor plans, elevations, 3D renders, and landscape concept. We optimise for rental return and sale value under Burwood Council's DCP.
⏱The Burwood Heights construction phase. Fixed price, programmed, supervised. Most Burwood Heights duplexes go DA route through Burwood Council — CDC pathways for dual occupancy are restrictive on most R2 blocks. We pre-meet with council planners on borderline sites to confirm support before lodgement, which avoids a 3-month round trip on RFIs. Both dwellings built simultaneously — engineered slabs (Class M soil), frame, lock-up, fit-out. Milestone updates from your project manager.
⏱The job isn't done when the site's clean; it's done when you have keys, certificates and warranties. Final inspections, dual OCs issued, subdivision registered with LRS. Each dwelling gets its own title, services, and 6-year structural warranty. Ready to rent, sell, or occupy.
