Duplexes & Multiplexes

01 · What Is This Service?

Duplex and multiplex construction builds two or more self-contained homes within a single structure, maximizing the value of a single lot. Hans Development designs and builds duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes that balance private living space with shared structure, optimizing unit layouts, parking, and privacy. We handle the zoning analysis, density permissions, and construction so each unit performs like a standalone home.

02 · When Is This Service Necessary?

A duplex or multiplex is the right choice when you want to maximize rental income or multi-generational living on a single lot, when zoning allows higher density, or when you're developing an investment property. It's also ideal when family members want to live near each other while maintaining separate entrances, kitchens, and privacy.

03 · What Is Required for This Service?

Duplex and multiplex construction requires confirmed zoning that permits the unit count, a site plan addressing parking and setbacks, and municipal permits including strata or rental tenure approvals where applicable. You'll need engineered drawings, utility capacity confirmation, and a construction budget. Hans Development manages zoning review, design, permitting, and build so your multi-unit project is delivered efficiently and to code.
