Small lot: Small lot houses are an option when working with very limited space, less than 450 square meters as outlined by Brisbane City Council. Size does not always have to matter when you make the most with what you are given.
Corner lot: Corner lots are high-visibility homes that are situated on the corner of a junction. A corner lot design will offer an extended lawn, unobstructed views of the street, less neighbours on the borders of your land and a flexible blueprint when deciding where you would like your driveway.
Narrow lot: Narrow lots are more common in densely packed urban development – longer and higher than they are wide. Narrow lot house designs are subtle and often blend into the property adjoining them, so they are more deceptively intricate. Never judge a book by its cover.
Sloping block: Sloping blocks require custom designed houses that are vertically-inclined and seeking to overcome any sloping obstacles presented by the terrain. Depending on the land, the design can slope up, down or crossfall. All can offer distinct advantages of unique aesthetic and charm which is sure to catch the eye of onlookers.

Choosing the appropriate house and land style will ensure that flood issues can be avoided a challenging task we wont shy away from.

Cost plus contract: When you map out the blueprint of your custom designed home, you will go into a cost-plus contract where you will accrue all costs of materials, labour and equipment as development progresses. This is an extremely fluid and dynamic strategy that places you at the helm of your development. If you would prefer a hands-on approach where you can decide the direction of every development that occurs, this is the option for you.

If accountability, efficiency and transparency are important to you when developing your custom-built home, going into a construction management contract may appeal to you. A construction manager acts as an agent on-site answerable to you. They fast-track the development process while keeping track of expenses going in and out of the project.

Steel framed house: Steel framed houses are another avenue to durable, lasting houses. Like concrete block houses, steel frames add a level of surety not found in conventional or dated construction methods. Compared to timber framed houses, steel framed custom houses are far lighter and easier to maintain, all the while having the added benefit of being impervious to termites and great thermal efficiency.
