What is considered a narrow block in Adelaide?

Definitions vary by builder but a common working threshold is 10m frontage or less. Some builders design specifically for 6m, 7.5m and 9m frontages. Under 6m is unusual and requires custom work.

Do narrow-block designs cost more to build?

Not necessarily per square metre, but the setback and lighting constraints can push you into a double-storey design and toward higher-spec joinery to make the plan feel bigger. Compare narrow-block quotes carefully; the specification variance drives the price more than the block width itself.

Every home design in our library with a house width that suits narrow blocks (10m frontage or less). Narrow-block work needs a builder with specific experience: setback compliance, rear-load garages, and layouts that still get natural light onto the middle of the plan.
