FAQs
How much does it cost to build a two storey house in Australia?
House building costs vary greatly. The biggest cost factors are the size of the home as well as the quality of materials, fixtures and fittings. However, construction costs can also vary depending on which part of Australia the house is being built in. Experts estimate that building a two storey home can vary between $2000 to $4000 per square metre.
Is it cheaper to build a double storey?
Generally, it is more expensive to build a double storey than a single storey home. That’s partly because double storey homes tend to be larger but also because there are costs associated with building multiple storeys, including the materials and labour or building the stairs themselves.
Is a double storey house an advantage or disadvantage?
A double storey house has the major advantage of giving you more indoor living space in a smaller house-footprint. This is great for larger families, multi-generation living, working from home, or simply when you like to have room to live. The only real disadvantage of a two storey house is when someone in the home is unable, or finds it difficult, to use stairs.
How big is a 2 storey house?
Double storey homes can be almost any size but, in general, having a second storey means you’ll have more living space than in a single storey home. Having 2 storeys means you can allocate more room on your block of land for outdoor space, whether for a garden, swimming pool or deck, while still having 3, 4, 5 or even 6 bedrooms plus living areas.
