A duplex in Peakhurst costs $750,000–$1,500,000+ for dual occupancy construction. Attached duplex from $750K, detached from $1M. Buildana manages feasibility, Georges River Council approvals, construction and subdivision under one fixed-price contract.
Peakhurst Duplex Construction
A duplex in Peakhurst works on the larger blocks away from the foreshore. This residential suburb west of Mortdale runs 400 to 700m2 R2 lots against the 600m2 Georges River duplex minimum, so the larger ones clear it and the smaller fall short. On a $1.5M to $2.4M market, an inland block suits a duplex while the premium foreshore blocks toward Lugarno and the river usually make more as a single home.
The ground is a Wianamatta Shale and Hawkesbury Sandstone interface with Class H reactive clay pockets, so footings and the slab are engineered to suit, and river-frontage works trigger a Foreshore Building Line and Crown Lands referral. The 1950s to 1990s stock can carry asbestos on the earlier homes, stripped under licence. R3 along Forest Road adds a medium-density option.
What I would check first on your Peakhurst block: the area against 600m2, the zoning along Forest Road, and any foreshore controls on the river side.
We build these fixed-price, licence HBL 487805C. Send me the block and I will tell you what it carries.

How It Works
From First Call to Final Key
Everything that has to be right before we touch the ground. Free feasibility check on your Peakhurst block. We measure frontage width, confirm zoning (R2 Low Density), check minimum lot size against 600m² under Georges River LEP 2021 requirement, and review Georges River Council's DCP controls. Written feasibility report within 5 business days. Two dwellings, one site — design is mostly about geometry. Frontage split, party wall position, garage stacking, private courtyard size, and the streetscape elevation a certifier will actually approve. We work the design until both sides feel like proper homes, not mirror-image apartments.
⏱The Peakhurst construction phase. Fixed price, programmed, supervised. DA through Georges River Council (40–90 days) or CDC (10–15 business days). Peakhurst is zoned R2 Low Density. Construction Certificate obtained before works commence. Dual construction runs 9–14 months. Engineered slabs sized for Class M soil, simultaneous frame-up, staggered fit-out for efficiency. Your project manager coordinates all trades and inspections.
⏱The job isn't done when the site's clean; it's done when you have keys, certificates and warranties. Two homes, two titles, two OCs, two warranty packs. We hand over a clean documentation set per dwelling: certifier reports, BASIX certs, structural sign-offs, appliance warranties, maintenance schedules. Whatever the next owner or buyer asks for is in the file.
