OUR TEAM WILL DO THE HEAVY LIFTING FOR YOU
At Belcoast Homes, we are the leading specialists in rooming house developments across the Geelong, Surf Coast, and Bellarine regions. Our expertise lies in transforming suitable sites into profitable, accessible, and fully compliant rooming houses. Here are a couple of considerations to keep in mind:
- A flat site
- Residential zoning
- Block size ideally 600m2 or greater.
- A residential building envelope under 300m²
- Proximity to shopping centres and accessible transport methods and routes
With these factors in place, we can design and construct rooming houses, boarding houses, guest houses or student accommodation with up to a 9-bedroom configuration, all with a focus on accessibility and strict adherence to building codes and regulations. Our comprehensive design and turnkey service ensures your investment is seamless, successful, and future-proof. Trust Belcoast Homes to bring your property vision to life with unmatched quality and expertise.
1. Concept + Design
We believe every client deserves more than just a home—they deserve a smart investment. Whether we design an expertly crafted turn-key package for you or you bring your own custom design, we’re dedicated to helping you maximise the potential of your project. With our deep expertise in rooming houses and a dedicated network of consultants, we provide the insight and support you need to make decisions that deliver exceptional results and a strong return on investment. Our specialist team can provide in-house concept design documentation and realistic visualisations to support both investment marketing and well-considered design decisions.
2. Consultant Advice
Rooming houses are meticulously engineered to optimise both acoustic performance and accessibility, providing maximum occupant comfort while maintaining affordability. Our design incorporates advanced acoustic technologies and a thoughtful layout to enhance ease of living. The Belcoast Homes team works closely with a network of specialist consultants, covering structural, acoustic, and accessibility compliance, to accelerate the planning process. We ensure your investment adheres to and exceeds stringent regulatory standards, offering both long-term durability and enhanced market value.
3. Building Documents and Working Drawings
Once council request for information has been granted (approval generally granted within 2 to 4 weeks. No Planning Permit is required!), we move forward with gathering the required specialist documentation to obtain your Building Permit. At this stage, our colour and materials specialist will collaborate with you to curate the perfect selection of finishes, materials, and any desired upgrades. With a deep understanding of rooming houses, our expert ensures that every detail— from the palette to the textures—enhances the overall ambiance, functionality, and value of your investment. By focusing on the right balance of aesthetics and durability, we help elevate the dwelling’s interior spaces to ensure long-term appeal and marketability.
4. Building Permit
Once your contract, working drawings, and finish selections for your rooming house are approved, our Project Coordinator will initiate the site preparation process, including submitting the Building Permit application. We handle all necessary pre-construction requirements, such as soil tests, property information certificates, energy ratings, and finalising structural and civil engineering documentation. Throughout this phase, our Project Coordinator will provide regular updates, ensuring you stay informed at every step of the process.
