What is different about building here

A location page that is the service page with a suburb name pasted into it tells you nothing. These are the things that actually change from one part of Brisbane to another.

  • Two kinds of house, two kinds of job

    Ipswich has a long-established older housing stock alongside some of the fastest-growing new estates in the state. On an older home the roofline and the condition of what is already there decide what can attach to what. On a new estate the constraints are more often covenants and setbacks.

  • Heat, further from the coast

    The western corridor runs hotter than the bayside because it does not get the sea breeze. An insulated roof earns its cost faster out here than almost anywhere else we build.

  • Flood history is on the record

    Parts of Ipswich carry flood overlays, and they attach to the property rather than to what you are building. It is one of the first things we check against an address.

Your council, and what it wants

One council covers this area: Ipswich City Council. The three things that decide approval are the same across all of South East Queensland — mean height, boundary setback, and any overlay sitting over your property.

You can build to within 500mm of a boundary with your neighbour's written agreement, and approval usually runs 2–6 weeks.

We prepare the drawings, lodge the application and deal with the council, whichever one it is.
