Ask the Builder: 248DU Hipster Duplex Concept & Modification Starter Pack

Start with a design. Add your ideas. Discuss the next step with your builder.

Explore this six-bedroom duplex with an eight-page downloadable PDF containing floor-plan illustrations, facade ideas, an indicative room-size schedule and a fillable modification worksheet.

Concept only — not for construction or building approval. Modifications are quoted separately.

Make your first conversation with a builder more productive.

The Ask the Builder – 248DU Hipster Starter Pack gives you a starting layout to explore, mark up and discuss before commissioning further drawings.

Use it to explain your ideas, identify changes and begin conversations about feasibility and preliminary costs. You can request a modification quotation from Australian Floor Plans or take the pack to your own builder or designer.

Two dwellings, each featuring:

• Three bedrooms
• Main bedroom with ensuite and walk-in robe
• Main bathroom
• Open-plan kitchen and living area

• Single garage with internal access

Total across both dwellings: six bedrooms, four bathrooms and two garages.

YOUR EIGHT-PAGE PDF INCLUDES

• Design cover and introduction
• Guide to using your starter pack
• Top-down floor-plan illustration with indicative room labels
• Illustrated 3D floor layout
• Two front facade colour ideas
• Indicative metric and imperial room-size schedule
• Fillable modification request worksheet
• Permission to adapt the design for one project and guidance on next steps

ASK THE BUILDER

Take the pack to your builder and ask:

• Could this layout suit my block?
• What site constraints should we investigate?
• What changes could improve the design for my needs?
• What assumptions would apply to a preliminary price?
• What additional drawings and assessments would be required?

This pack helps you prepare those conversations. The purchase does not include a builder consultation, cost estimate or site assessment.

REQUEST YOUR MODIFICATIONS

Print and mark up the floor plan, or complete the fillable worksheet in a compatible PDF reader.

Send your brief and reference images to Australian Floor Plans for a separate quotation. You may also engage your own builder or designer to develop the design.

PERMISSION TO ADAPT FOR ONE PROJECT

The purchaser may print, annotate and share this pack with their appointed builder, designer and consultants. That team may adapt or redraw the design for one project.

Copyright remains with Australian Floor Plans. Resale, redistribution and use for additional projects require written permission.
