Learn MoreMaximising your Sloping Block House Design
Split level homes are the most elegant solution to building a home on a sloping block. They are designed to follow the natural slope of the land, resulting in a breath-taking split level home that is both unique and spacious.
Building on a sloping block is much more achievable than you think, but it’s important you consult a specialist in the area to ensure your house is delivered to a quality standard and your sloping block is maximised to its full potential. Generally anything with a slope greater than 2 metres across the building site will require a specialised split level home builder.
Let’s take a look at the visuals below illustrating two approaches for building on a steep block:
A) Stepped slab option on a sloping block:
B) Single, level slab on a sloping block:
In diagram A, we have introduced a step into the slab to allow the house to follow the natural gradient of the block. In diagram B, a standard “cut and fill” approach has been taken here which many non sloping site builders provide because this is the cheapest way for them to build.
Unfortunately this method results in additional ongoing costs after handover, such as the expense and maintenance of large retaining walls, a steep driveway, increased piering, and drainage issues and ultimately an asset that is difficult to sell.
Montgomery Homes have been building houses on steep sites, along with building on gently sloping blocks, for more than 30 years. Our experienced team knows what it takes to generate a great outcome for all clients.
What is a Stepped Slab?
The Montgomery Homes stepped slab techniques is one of our best kept secrets and is ideal for building a single or double storey home. Whilst a split-level or tri-level home is better suited to a steeper sloping block, this option allows us to cater for blocks of land that have a slight slope.
Traditional ‘cut and fill’ techniques require heavy excavation, resulting in steeper driveways and the need for retaining walls post-handover. When building on a slight slope, stairs (or a “stepped slab”) on a smaller scale can allow us to work with the site and adapt the home design accordingly. The stepped slab technique results in higher ceilings, better drainage, natural light and ventilation — allowing you to enjoy your beautiful new home even more.
There are Many Benefits to Building on a Slope
These include:
Higher ceilings within your home and garage
A more unique and architectural looking design
Reduced steepness of your driveway
Reduced cut and fill required
Less costs after handover like retaining walls and landscaping
Better and more functional back yard
Less site costs
When approached and developed appropriately, houses built on sloped land can provide maximum return when it's time to sell it. Typically homes situated above sea level (i.e. sloping sites) tend to sell above the average house price versus homes that are less elevated, therefore delivering a greater return overtime.
