Duplex Builder in Merrylands
Merrylands is a prime duplex development suburb within Cumberland City. Wide blocks from the 1950s and 1960s, R2 and R3 zoning, and proximity to Merrylands station make it highly attractive for dual occupancy. Cumberland City Council has specific controls for lot width, FSR, and landscaped area — Buildana navigates these requirements for every Merrylands duplex build.
Buildana manages the full duplex development process in Merrylands — from feasibility assessment and architectural design through to DA or CDC approval, and fixed-price construction to dual handover. One builder, one contract, two homes.
