The RPG Duplex Investment Roadmap in action

Curious about how The RPG Duplex Investment Roadmap can make duplex investment easier than you ever imagined?

Let’s walk through it, step by step, week by week…

Step #1: Fixed price within 10 days (Weeks 0 – 2)

The magic begins in the first step, where we take just 10 days—yep, 10 days—to get you from square one to a fixed-price proposal.

But what makes us so quick?

  • Specialisation
    We focus exclusively on turn-key duplex investment projects in Regional NSW, so we’ve got all the specialised data and experience that others don’t.
  • Efficient Design
    We don’t reinvent the wheel for every project. Our duplexes are built to a set spec and designed for long-term investment.
  • 30+ Years of Expertise
    With decades of experience, we’ve honed our estimation and delivery processes to perfection, allowing us to provide accurate fixed prices upfront.

With RPG, you’re in the driver’s seat from the start.

Step #2: Secure your finance from a position of power (Weeks 3 – 6)

With your fixed price in hand, you’re ready to lock in your finance from a position of strength.

Here’s why that’s a game-changer:

  • Avoid common pitfalls
    Other developers might take six months to get you a price, so your loan may no longer cover the costs, and you’re stuck starting over with your finance broker.
  • Stay ahead of market fluctuations
    In NSW, the property market can change a lot in six months. With RPG’s 10-day fixed price, you can secure your loan before market conditions shift. This early advantage means no more sleepless nights worrying about whether your finance will lapse or your build contract price will skyrocket.

RPG’s Roadmap keeps you so ahead of the curve, helping you navigate every step of the way with ease.

Step #3: Pre-planning (Weeks 7 – 11)

While other builders take months to even consider giving you a price, we’re already hitting the ground running.

Here’s what happens:

  • Site Assessment and Feasibility
    We start with a thorough site inspection, checking out your land to see if it’s ready for action. We assess everything—site slopes, rock bases, and all those other factors that can impact your build. This way, we know exactly what costs we’re dealing with right from the get-go, so there are no nasty surprises later.
  • Drafting and Estimation
    Our drafting team creates a preliminary design based on our site findings while our estimators calculate the total project cost.
  • Close Communication
    Throughout this process, we stay in close contact with you, keeping you in the loop at every step. You’ll get to know our team well—think of us as your partners, not some high-pressure salespeople.

Step #4: Planning applications & approvals (Weeks 12 –19)

  • Fast-track approvals
    With the Complying Development Certificate (CDC) process, we accelerate the turnaround of paperwork, enabling faster approval from the state government—no local council red tape here. CDC is designed for straightforward, low-impact projects, and our duplexes fit the bill perfectly.
  • Avoid DA delays
    While other builders might take six months to navigate the council’s Development Application (DA) process, RPG skips the wait. That means we can offer you a fast fixed price and help you secure your loan without the usual delays.

Step #5: Construction (Weeks 20 – 57)

When it’s time to build, RPG’s turn-key service means we’re with you every step of the way. Our construction process includes everything—site preparation, framing, enclosing, fixing, and final touches like tiling, painting, and landscaping.

We only use top-quality materials and appliances, so your investment is built to last.

RPG’s structured approach ensures a smooth journey from start to finish, making your investment as stress-free as possible.

Step #6: Turn-key duplex investment handover: (Week 57 – 60)

This final stage marks the completion of The RPG Duplex Investment Roadmap.

We provide a full handover package that includes all essential certificates, documents, keys, remote controls, and a few nice surprises. You’ll also receive our guidance on managing legal aspects of the property.

Finally, you’ll be invited for a thorough site walkthrough and project review to ensure everything meets your expectations and that any questions are practically addressed.

By the end of The RPG Duplex Investment Roadmap, you’ll have a long-term investment designed to maximise your ROI with minimal delays and no unexpected costs.

Why investors choose The RPG Duplex Investment Roadmap

Now that you’re up to speed on the process, we can’t resist highlighting a few things that make RPG stand out—especially the perks our investors rave about.

See what makes us stand out from the rest:

Communication

Yes, every construction company says they provide great communication, right? It’s a basic expectation that goes without saying.

But here’s where RPG does it differently: We pride ourselves on straightforward, personalised communication without the hassle of layers of management and franchise overheads.

Everything feels simple, direct, and cost-effective.

Since all our projects are managed from our central location in regional NSW, you can expect efficient, personalised service without the runaround.




Our in-house team of designers, construction managers, and estimators ensures seamless communication throughout each build. We don’t rely on external contractors or approvals from head offices in different states—so no red tape or endless waiting.

From the start, you’ll notice we’re not here to “close the deal” with high-pressure sales tactics.

Instead, we focus on customer-centric communication that lasts from day one to project completion and beyond.

Investment-specific duplex development

When it comes to investment-specific duplex development, we take a different approach. RPG designs are crafted right from the beginning with one goal in mind: maximising your return on investment.

We’re not just building homes; we’re building long-term assets that work hard for your financial future. Every stage of our construction process is geared towards boosting your ROI, ensuring your investment is as rewarding as it is secure.

High quality with no hidden costs

And speaking of security, with RPG, there are no hidden costs. Everything you need is included in our initial fixed price. We keep our cost base low by avoiding unnecessary layers of management and franchise fees.

This means you get high quality without the nasty (and expensive) surprises.

The most comprehensive quality controls on the market 

But quality doesn’t just stop at what you see—it’s in every brick, beam, and detail. Our quality controls are so thorough they probably check themselves twice.

Our documented processes exceed industry standards, ensuring every project meets our sky-high expectations.




We’re not just committed to quality; we’re obsessed with making it better every day.

With regularly updated methods and materials, we ensure you get nothing less than the latest and greatest in construction solutions.
