  • Efficiency & Energy Savings: With living spaces spread across one level, it’s easier to capture natural light and manage heating or cooling.
  • Cost & Build Speed: Single storey house plans generally need fewer materials and a streamlined construction process, making them a cost-effective option.

Customers love our single-storey house plans

Here is some of the great feedback we’ve received from our satisfied customers about our single-level homes.

Single-storey home benefits

There are several advantages to building a one-storey house design.

  • Reduced construction and maintenance costs: Compared to others, a single-storey home is generally much easier to design and construct and quicker to build, and because there are fewer building materials, the overall construction cost is reduced. Open-plan single-storey homes not only feel more spacious, but they are also much easier to clean and maintain, both inside and out.
  • Improved accessibility: Having all the rooms of the home on one level means better accessibility for people with disabilities, older adults and small children.
  • More efficient heating and cooling: With just one level, there is more natural light and better airflow than in two-storey properties. This means heating and cooling are more efficient, saving money and the environment.

FAQs

What are single storey house plans?

Single storey house plans are home designs arranged on one level for easy living, good flow and strong indoor to outdoor connection. At Kurmond Homes, our single storey home designs range from narrow lot layouts to spacious acreage plans.

Are single storey homes cheaper to build?

They often cost less to build than double storey homes because the structure is simpler and there are no stairs. Total cost still depends on site conditions, inclusions and the size of the plan.

Do single storey homes suit narrow blocks?

Yes. We offer modern single storey house plans tailored for narrow lot widths that maximise living space, storage and natural light while meeting local planning rules.

Can I customise a single storey house plan?

Absolutely. You can adjust layouts, facades and inclusions to suit your lifestyle and block. Our team will guide you so changes remain practical and cost effective.

How long does construction take?

Timeframes vary by design, approvals and site conditions. We provide a clear build timeline after your selections and engineering are confirmed, and keep you updated at each stage.

Knockdown Rebuild

My husband and I started to plan our knockdown rebuild back around April 2021. During this time we visited many display homes and builders and we ended up choosing to build with Kurmond Homes.
Christine was great, she was always contactable and accommodating to all our needs she also helped and guided us with modifying the Affinity 40.
The colours team at Kurmond Homes Kristen and Morgan helped every step of the way providing great advise and ideas that simplified the selection process for us.
Like everyone else looking to build around this time we had some challenges with COVID it has taken some time to get to the construction stage and we couldn’t be more pleased with our site supervisor Steve.
Steve has so far been exceptional at keeping us in the loop and explaining things for us to better understand the construction process. We could not be happier with our experience so far and look forward to continuing our building journey with Kurmond Homes.
Ray and I are so excited and can’t wait to see our finished home.

Excellent

Our experience from start to end with our Sales Consultant Mike has been exceptional. He is professional, informative, goes out of his way to keep us up to date, communication excellent. Each step was processed unbelievably quick and he helped us every step of the way to find our dream home and tweak it to how we wanted. It has been an amazing journey so far with Kurmond, we are now in the Pre Construction phase and we are excited as we are now booked for our external colours.
Would definitely recommend Kurmond.

Custom build

My wife and I decided to build a secondary residence designed for our daughter and grandson. It had to complement the existing residence but was limited in size by council regulations. Finding a builder prepared to build a design not their own and on the smaller size was not easy until we met Mike for Kurmond. Not only were Kurmond prepared to take on the task but they were enthusiastic. Their systems were more than capable and flexible enough to quickly quote an assist with the DA processes.
Their costings were a pleasant surprise, custom builders usually don’t have the volume to get buying power. All of the selections were very efficient and straight forward. So far it’s been a great experience. Thanks Kurmond.

Fantastic!!!

It was a great experience working with Kurmond Homes as they provided everything we wanted/needed in our new home and more. The staff and team at Kurmond Homes were very helpful and had great communication with us, they helped every step of the way, simplified what we needed to do on our end so they could do their part and answered all our questions if we had any so that we weren’t left in the dark. In the Pre construction phase the Kurmond team provided us with excellent knowledge and great inputs in order to narrow down our choices in what features we wanted. In the construction phase our site supervisor Dhaval Patel did a tremendous job on keeping us in the loop, helped us with other aspects of the build of what had to be done and explain things for us to better understand. Overall our experience with Kurmond Homes was amazing together with their quality workmanship and pricing, would recommend them to anyone looking to build a home.
