Single Storey Homes in Perth
Single storey homes remain the most popular choice for Perth home buyers, and for good reason. They offer practical, low-maintenance living with everything on one level, making them ideal for families, downsizers and first home buyers alike.
At Affordable Living Homes, we design single storey homes that deliver comfort, style and value. Every design is crafted to suit Perth’s climate and lifestyle, with open-plan layouts, generous bedrooms and seamless connections to outdoor living.
Why Choose a Single Storey Home?
Accessible for everyone. With no stairs to navigate, single storey homes suit all ages and stages of life, from young families to retirees.
Cost-effective to build. Single storey construction is typically more affordable than two storey, with simpler foundations, framing and roofing requirements.
Lower ongoing costs. Less exterior surface area means reduced maintenance, cleaning and energy costs compared to multi-storey alternatives.
Open-plan living. Single storey layouts lend themselves to spacious, connected living areas that flow effortlessly from kitchen to dining to outdoors.
Faster build times. Without the complexity of a second storey, single storey homes are generally quicker to build, getting you into your new home sooner.

What happens after I sign the building contract?
Your plans progress through to detailed working drawings, followed by ordering survey and engineering reports. You’ll then attend your colour selection meeting to select colours and finishes. We manage council approvals and building permits, and once everything is approved, we prepare the site, pour the slab, and begin construction. Throughout the build, you’ll receive regular updates from your client liaison.
Can I upgrade my inclusions?
Yes, we offer a range of upgrade options for your home. Your sales consultant will guide you through our showroom, outlining available choices and costs during the design phase. Alternatively, upgrades can be discussed with your colour selection consultant during your colour selection meeting.
Can I visit my home during construction?
Yes, with your site supervisor’s permission. We can arrange key stage inspections so you can see progress at important milestones like roof frame stage, lock-up and practical completion.
Do your homes come with air conditioning?
Air conditioning is not a standard inclusion however; we often offer ducted air conditioning as part of a promotion. Speak with our team to find out about current and additional promotional offers we have available at the time of your enquiry.
What is a PCI (Practical Completion Inspection)?
It is the final walkthrough of your finished home before handover. You and your site supervisor check every room to make sure everything meets the agreed standard. Any items that need attention are noted and fixed before you move in.
Are your homes designed for Perth’s climate?
All our homes are designed to meet the energy efficiency requirements for Perth’s climate zone. This includes orientation advice, insulation, eaves and ventilation to keep your home comfortable year-round. Explore our designs.
What warranties come with my new home?
