At Rooming House Builders, we have developed and refined our rooming houses over a number of years to be as attractive to tenants and owners as possible.

We have worked within the regulations and guidelines to make our product as effective as possible to provide the best yields for our owners.

We understand the guidelines of each Council area and have tailored our product to provide the best rent returns while minimizing the build price.

We have worked closely with Council, town planners, and building certifiers to refine the most favorable parameters with which we can work. We have then developed our designs with architects and draftspeople to produce an aesthetic and functional layout for each of our designs.

Some of the additional design and build elements that we take into account are as follows:

Sound Attenuation
Additional sound attenuation and acoustic minimization between each of our rooms. Our designs minimize noise transfer between rooms to make each apartment quieter. This involves both the design aspects and build and inclusion aspects.

Functional Layouts
We provide the most functional layouts within the guidelines to make our micro-apartments attractive to end users.

Self-contained Rooms
We have developed the optimal level of inclusions allowed within the Building Code of Australia guidelines to ensure that our rooms are as self-contained as possible.

Indoor and Outdoor functionality
We adapt our designs to provide the best indoor and outdoor areas for each room to ensure our tenants have the best amenity possible.

Designed for each block

While it is easy for builders to build their standard designs, we adapt and change our designs to cater to the individual blocks of land. This enables us to provide the best design to suit the block of land rather than just providing a standard home. Our customary design service allows the best outcome for the specific land circumstances, providing a better use and rent return.

Advantages of Single Story

• Cheaper to build: Single-story designs of a similar size are cheaper than two-story designs.
• Faster to build: Single-story designs are generally faster to build than two-stories, saving you additional time and money. 
• Some blocks will allow each micro-apartment to have its own outdoor area, which is far more attractive to tenants and will generally get better rent than a balcony.
• The backyards can be assigned to each micro-apartment, meaning there are fewer common areas to be taken care of. Each tenant can be responsible for their area, and you won't need to get a maintenance person in to take care of the backyard.
