The level of ongoing support – you didn’t leave at the completion of the build and owners are not left to their own devices.
It’s a great customer experience, you followed up, completed maintenance items after build completion and made it a very easy process throughout the maintenance stage. Plus maintenance manager was amazing – supportive, very well organised, responsive, and consistently kept us updated.
Caulfield Project

The brief
This dual occupancy project was shaped by a clear brief from a long-standing client, an experienced investor known for their strong track record in building and selling high-performing homes. With a deep understanding of the market and buyer preferences, the brief was both focused and strategic, oriented toward achieving commercial success with a dual occupancy investment.Â
Our Process
A solid history of collaboration with this client facilitated an efficient process, allowing for swift and purposeful decision-making, backed by a Carter Grange team that comprehends both the client’s vision and the specific expectations of a custom dual occupancy design. With multiple projects completed together, this build was anchored in a well-established working relationship marked by a strong foundation of trust.
Bringing the Brief to Life
Aiming for a successful investment, the build and design process facilitated a thorough evaluation at every stage, focusing on resale and long-term value. With this in mind, the custom home design was intentionally focused on functional, well-organised living spaces that adapt to different life stages.
A play on practicality for future occupants was crucial in maintaining broad market appeal and value retention, while cleverly integrated elements softened the space, featuring elevated finishes, top-tier inclusions, and a luxury that is often desired yet rarely achieved within the investment sector.
Custom dual occupancy designs present unique challenges that demand a high level of coordination and efficiency throughout every stage, from planning to delivery.
Client Experience
The client’s experience greatly shaped this custom dual occupancy design, as our established partnership across multiple ventures fostered a strong foundation of trust. Arriving with clarity and confidence, the client had a clear vision of their goals and a solid plan to achieve them. This clarity facilitated an efficient process, enabling swift, purposeful decision-making. The Carter Grange team’s deep understanding of the client’s needs and the expectations associated with this type of build further supported a smooth and successful collaboration.
