Subdivisions
Own land but...
not sure if you can subdivide?
Let us help you
At Epic Homes, we make the subdivision process straightforward. Whether you’re looking to subdivide an existing property or explore the development potential of your land, our experienced team can help. We manage the entire process, coordinating surveyors, engineers, architects and Council approvals, right through to the construction of your new home or homes.
Our
Process
Every property and subdivision is different, so the first step is understanding your site and what you want to achieve. From assessing the development potential of your land through to planning, approvals and construction, our team helps coordinate the different stages and keeps you informed throughout the process.
1
APPRAISE
If you already own land or are considering purchasing a property, Epic Homes offers a free site appraisal to assess the pros and cons of the site.

ADVISE
Epic Homes provides advice on the type of build that may suit the topography of the site and likely build costs, helping you make an informed decision about the site’s suitability for your requirements and budget.

- Following the site appraisal, Epic Homes will discuss the development potential of the site and any factors that may need to be considered before moving forward. This can help you understand what may be achievable and whether the site is suitable for your proposed subdivision and build.

GATHER DOCUMENTATION
Before plans can begin, Epic Homes requires detailed information about your site to ensure the home can be accurately designed and positioned on the section.

This information is either obtained through:
A. TOPOGRAPHICAL SURVEY
- A topographical survey is undertaken by a surveyor and should form part of your due diligence when purchasing a site. It can identify any anomalies or easements that need to be considered when planning the homes for your site.
- The survey allows the architect to accurately design and position the homes on the site. It also allows Epic Homes to accurately price the earthworks and foundations.
- A topographical survey generally costs $1,800 to $2,000 plus GST.
B. HEIGHT MEASUREMENTS
- For less complex sites, the architect may be able to take height measurements that provide sufficient information to design and position the homes on the section.
- The cost for this service is typically $450 plus GST.
Costs for the topographical survey or height measurements are non-refundable as the work has been undertaken.

FLOOR PLANS
Once we have the topographical survey or height measurements, and have discussed your requirements and budget, Epic Homes can progress to the floor plans.

- The architect will design the floor plans to best utilise your site.
- We will have an approximate floor area to work with based on your requirements and, most importantly, your budget.
- Budget is a key part of the design process. Epic Homes will discuss what you want to achieve and, based on our experience and the style of homes being considered, help determine what can realistically be achieved within your budget.
