Asking what it costs tells you almost nothing.

Why a price is the worst place to start

Most enquiries open with a cost per square metre. It is a fair question and a useless one. A build cost only means something once you know what the site can hold, what that specific rental market will pay for a room, what a compliant Class 1b build actually requires, and whether the feasibility survives real numbers. Without those four things, a price is just a number — and it is usually the number that gets people into trouble.

Same build. Two completely different outcomes.

This is what done right looks like

Co-living homes we have designed and built.

You don't need a site yet

Plenty of people come to us with the idea and no land. That is often the better starting point, because the site is the decision that determines everything after it.

We source land with you, research the rental market around it, and assess whether it can carry a co-living build before you commit to buying anything. Getting that wrong is the most expensive mistake in this space, and it is made long before a brick is laid.

If you already have a site, we assess what you have. If you don't, we help you find one worth having.

Four questions you cannot answer from a spreadsheet

Getting any one of these wrong is expensive, and none of them are answered by a suburb report or a builder's square-metre rate.

A Discovery Session answers all four

A working session with the builder, not a pitch from a salesperson. Bring a site you own, one you are considering, or nothing at all. You leave with:

• Design and room types drawn for your site or target area
• Real build costings, not square-metre estimates
• Current co-living demand data for that location
• A detailed feasibility study you keep
• A clear yes or no on whether to proceed

Talk to other people first

We would rather you did. Get a second opinion, get a third. Compare what you are told about build costs, room mix and feasibility, then come back and look at where the differences are. That comparison is usually the most useful research an investor does.

Some of the advisers people pay for that guidance come to us for build contracts, and for a read on what is actually happening in this industry. When the real numbers are needed, we are often the ones being asked.

We are confident enough in our numbers to send you looking.

No sales team. No listings.

We don't have a list of finished properties to move, and nobody here works on commission. There is nothing for us to push.

We build from the ground up with you. Source the land with you. Assess whether a site can carry a co-living build before you commit to buying it. Design around what that particular market will actually rent. And keep the cost down wherever it can genuinely come down. Most of that work happens before you own anything, which is the whole point of starting with a conversation instead of a quote.

We build custom co-living homes for serious investors. That's it.

The fee is a filter

Co-living is not a new idea

People have shared a roof for as long as there have been cities. What changed is that we largely stopped building it properly, so single renters end up in someone else's converted lounge room with no lease of their own. Done properly it means a private room and bathroom, an individual lease, bills included, and shared space that was designed rather than left over. The demand is not in question. Whether it works on your site is.
