Acreage builds on the South East Queensland fringe
A hectare in the Moreton Bay hinterland, the Scenic Rim or the Sunshine Coast fringe is not a suburban lot with extra grass. Sewer, fire, driveways and water set the budget before the kitchen does.
Where the house sits
Land & Suburbs
Suburb-level reporting on where Brisbane and SEQ households are actually building: Ipswich, Logan, Moreton Bay, small lots and acreage on the fringe.
Soil types and site classification in South East Queensland
AS 2870 is not a soil science lecture. It is the difference between a standard waffle pod and a footing variation that rewrites the contract. Read the class before you fall in love with the plan.
Infill and small-lot homes in inner Brisbane
A ten-metre frontage in New Farm, Paddington or Woolloongabba can take a good house. It will not take a display-home plan, a lazy demolition or a driveway you have not measured.
Buying a vacant block in Ipswich and Logan
A cheap title in Ripley, Yarrabilba or Park Ridge is not a cheap house. Covenants, fill, retaining and the gap between settlement and a start date decide the real price.
Where Brisbane households are actually building new homes
The useful map is not a lifestyle ranking. It is a split between inner infill, the old middle-ring knockdown, and the growth corridors that now carry most of the new roofs.
