About the Project

Two Homes, One Block

Constructing two custom homes on a single block required meticulous planning, phased construction, and careful coordination of materials and access.

Hillside Construction

The sloping terrain necessitated a strategic construction sequence, starting from the rear of the block and working upwards, to ensure stability and site accessibility.

Extensive Foundation Work

Unfavourable "P class" soil conditions required significantly more engineering and extensive foundation work, extending the timeframe considerably.

Limited Access

A protected tree on site restricted access, demanding creative solutions for material movement and logistics, and impacting the groundworks schedule.

Landscape and Utilities

The sloping terrain presented challenges for installing sewer and stormwater connections, requiring close collaboration with Unity Water.

About the Project

Environmental Protection

Proximity to the Noosa River necessitated stringent silt management protocols to prevent erosion and protect the waterway.

Scaffolding Challenges

The steep slope and council height restrictions required meticulous planning and precise execution of the extensive scaffolding.

Trade Shortages

Pandemic-related trade shortages extended the project timeline beyond initial estimates.

Lengthy Approvals

Complex council approval processes, exacerbated by the project's intricacies, further contributed to timeline extensions.

Unpredictable Weather

Heavy rainfall on the steep, unstable site caused significant delays, forcing construction halts until the ground dried.
