Project Overview: Infill Site Town Planning Melbourne
This Infill site town planning Melbourne project by DSB BIM Architects demonstrates a strategic approach to residential subdivision. The project manages a total site area of 901.4 Sqm, retaining the existing 526.4 Sqm lot for Unit 1 while proposing a new, high-quality 375 Sqm lot for Unit 2. The new 22.1 SQ unit features a contemporary skillion roof design with vertical timber accents, creating a modern contrast to the traditional hip roof of the existing brick residence. Our team developed a high-quality structural solution that prioritizes privacy for both dwellings and efficient shared access. Furthermore, this project adheres to all local Victorian planning overlays and ResCode requirements for infill developments.

Regulatory Compliance & Subdivision Standards
DSB BIM Architects prioritizes technical precision in every documentation set, especially for infill sites where setbacks and neighborhood character are closely scrutinized. For this development, we ensured strict adherence to the Victoria Planning Provisions (VPP). Specifically, we addressed the complex overlooking constraints and private open space ratios mandated for rear-lot subdivisions. We also integrated the latest accessibility principles to ensure long-term functionality for the new dwelling. Our BIM modeling process ensures that these planning-mandated details are coordinated early. Consequently, this reduces the risk of costly Request for Further Information (RFI) cycles during the council assessment stage.
BIM Documentation for Australian Developers
Our professional approach combines advanced architectural modeling with practical building techniques. Specifically, we provide comprehensive services like CAD to BIM conversion and site-ready documentation sets. Because we use a high-fidelity BIM workflow, every structural element, from the new skillion rafters to the site drainage coordination, is accurate and ready for execution. It aligns perfectly with real-world Australian building practices. This level of detail allows Melbourne builders to streamline their procurement and on-site scheduling for multi-unit projects. Moreover, it helps developers reduce project timelines and minimize material waste on site.
This project highlights our ability to deliver fast turnaround times for complex infill town planning designs. However, we never compromise on the technical quality of our documentation. Whether you require scan to BIM services or full architectural documentation for a new subdivision, our team provides reliable support. We aim to build long-term collaborations with industry professionals. Finally, you can explore our other Melbourne Architectural Projects or contact us to start your next development.
