Land Holders and Community Design (6+ dwellings)

House & Land Developments: Sustainable Communities

The majority of House and Land Developments in Queensland follow a typical process: Land owners investing significant capital investment into site master planning, development assessment costs, and land clearing to prepare for house and land package sales. With competition high and final profit margins per site low, this approach has delivered low performing homes built with traditional methods in order to remain “affordable” to the average buyer.

But what if there was a different way?

Sustainable’s Design & Construction approach offers land owners and developers a new approach for designing and developing communities in south-east Queensland and northern New South Wales.

It provides land holders and developers an opportunity to optimise overall site profits through a combination of minimising development costs, like roads and other infrastructure, maximising site potential and amenities, and improving marketability of resulting house and land package.

In addition to the benefits for developers, Sustainable delivers affordable, environmentally responsible housing for buyers that provide affordable living throughout the 25-year life cycle of the Home.

Sustainable Communities – Benefits for Land Holders:

  • Reduce up to 40% of land development costs
  • Release value from difficult, unviable land
  • Reduce time frames for delivery to point of sale
  • Reduce up to 25% of build costs
  • Increase housing stock diversity and appeal
  • Improve position in ‘house & land’ market
