78m² · two bedroom, two bathroom · 13.0m x 6.0m

 

Two bedrooms at opposite ends of the unit, each with its own ensuite and built-in robe, so two people can share the home with real privacy. In between is an open lounge and dining area, a kitchen with pantry, a separate laundry and a study nook. At 78 square metres, it uses almost all of Victoria’s new 80 square metre limit for small second dwellings.

 

Like every unit we build, this one is made to order. There are no load-bearing internal walls, so the plan above is a starting point rather than a fixed layout — move the bathroom, change the door and window positions, or adjust the dimensions to suit your block.

 

It’s prefabricated at our Carrum Downs factory, transported flat-packed and assembled on your property by our own crew. We only need side gate access about a metre wide, and we build on stumps, so there’s no excavation. Allow six to eight weeks from the start of construction to handover, and typically three to four months all up, depending on permits and our schedule. The building permit is included.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Can a 78m² unit be a small second dwelling?

  Yes. Since 15 October 2026, Victoria allows small second dwellings of up to 80m², and roofed verandahs and decks attached to the unit don’t count towards that. A planning permit can still be needed on lots under 300m² or where an overlay applies, so talk to us about what your council allows.
• Can the layout be changed?

  Yes. Every unit is made to order and there are no load-bearing internal walls, so the internal layout can be rearranged and the dimensions adjusted to suit your block.
• What’s included in the price?

  The building permit, the kitchen and appliances, heating and cooling, hot water, the bathroom, floor coverings, painting inside and out, home owners warranty; six year and six month structural guarantee, and connection of services within 10 metres of the main dwelling.
• How long does it take to build?

  Six to eight weeks from the start of construction to handover, with on-site assembly usually under a week. Typically three to four months all up, depending on permits and our schedule.
