SPLIT LEVEL HOMESDiscover the benefits of a split level home
The benefits of split level homes are widely known, so why is it that when you look carefully at many homes on sloping blocks you would would think that their builder thought the world was flat.
What you see is a slab home dug into the slope of the land. Steep driveways, expensive, large retaining walls and a less attractive façade result.
Why? Because most builders have lost the skills and techniques to build a home to suit the site. 30 years ago all homes were designed to the site, so what has changed?
Unlike most builders, Montgomery Homes build split level homes with bearers and joists as well as split slab designs.
MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR SITEThe importance of working with your site
If on the other hand, you're one of those mostly seasoned homebuyers who are looking at house designs for steep blocks, or are thinking about building a new split-level home, then reading these few words may be amongst the most valuable 90 seconds you'll spend this year.
The benefits of split-level homes are widely known, so why is it that when you look carefully at many homes built on sloping blocks, you'd be entitled to conclude that their builder thought the world was flat?
Too often, what you see is a slab house dug into a sloping block. Steep driveways, large expensive retaining walls and a less attractive street front are the big give-aways.
We don't like to be negative, but the truth is, the poor outlook, drainage issues, reduced light, poor ventilation and lack of privacy such homes experience are hard to escape once you have moved in.
What was a fairly quick exercise for the builder can become a lost opportunity for a family that lasts a life-time.
Montgomery Homes are the sloping site specialists.
We have built a reputation building quality homes on sloping blocks from the ground up for more than 20 years. Look carefully at any Montgomery Home and you'll begin to understand why they've won so many awards for their homes and their professional approach.
Designing to the slope, Montgomery Homes maximise the practical and aesthetic qualities of designs on any block, creating unique and beautiful homes with manageable driveways, abundant light, natural ventilation, great storage, minimal excavation and wonderful views and outlooks.
So whether your block slopes up, down, left or right, Montgomery Homes has a tried and tested architectural design to maximise the value of your new home.
KNOCKDOWN REBUILDDiscover the options
Have you ever thought about knocking down your tired old home and building a brand new house? The benefits of knock down rebuild over renovation or building in a new area are numerous.
STEPPED SLAB VS SLABLearn about the difference
Your new home is your biggest investment and by being smarter it will give you a maximum return when you go to sell it. What we mean is, why not spend money on the home where it will give you a much better return?
You may be asking what we mean? Lets look at the two visual figures below:
We have a stepped slab and as you can see the house works with the slope of the land at the same time.
Lets take a look at the next figure:
As you can see this is a standard cut and fill home that most builders give you because this is the cheapest way for them to build. The problem is most clients do not know what they are going to end up with: large, expensive retaining walls, steep driveway, increased piering, drainage issues and an asset that is difficult to sell.
