More Sunshine Coast families are adding a second, self-contained home on the land they already own, without subdividing or moving.
Keep a parent close
Their own front door, kitchen and bathroom, a few steps from yours. Independence for them, peace of mind for you.
Give adult kids a start
A home of their own to live in while they save, instead of paying a big slice of their income in rent.
Flexible for the future
A guest home, studio or home office today. In Queensland, a secondary dwelling can also be rented out, subject to your council's rules.
Six steps, in the right order
Each step comes with a practical worksheet, so you'll know the right questions to ask before you talk to any builder.
Check your block
A site checklist for zoning, overlays, access, crane position and services.
Talk as a family
The questions to settle together, from care needs to what happens if plans change.
Choose a design
Footprints, bedrooms and published prices for our standard designs.
Budget the whole project
What's in the home price, what's quoted for your site, and a budget worksheet.
Map the approvals
Which approvals you need, who handles each one, and what Class 1a means.
Plan the build
A sample timeline, what happens on installation day, and a pre-contract check.
From the people who'd actually build it
LumeHaus is owned and run by brothers Dave and Craig Smith, who have been building together for more than 25 years. We hold our own QBCC licence, build with our own team, and manage the site works, delivery and connections ourselves.
