Frequently Asked Questions
Can I rent out one unit of my duplex while living in the other?
Yes. This is one of the most common reasons homeowners build duplex houses. We design independent entries, meters, and utilities to enable this.
Is a duplex more expensive than a single house?
A duplex costs more than a single-unit house but less than two completely separate houses. Shared structure and utilities create efficiency savings.
Can a duplex be converted to a single large home later?
Design flexibility for future conversion is possible if planned at the design stage. Discuss this requirement during your consultation.
