Split Level & Sloping Block Homes
When your block has fall, split-level design can cut excavation cost and open better views — built with CMA across Queensland.
Get in TouchDesign for sloping sites
Sloping blocks are common across SEQ — especially on the Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast hinterland, Scenic Valley, and western Brisbane corridors. Split-level homes step with the natural grade so you reduce expensive cut-and-fill while creating interesting ceiling heights and outlooks.
This landing page introduces how CMA approaches sloping sites. Browse Creative Series and standard plans on our main website, or start a Custom by CMA conversation when a flat single-plane design will not respect your land.
We assess contour, access, stormwater, and retaining requirements early with survey and structural input — so design decisions are grounded before you sign a build contract.
Why split level with CMA
Work with the land — links to plans and custom design on the main site.
Work with the contour
Step living, sleeping, and garage zones to follow the block rather than fighting it with excessive benching.
Better views and privacy
Raise main living areas to capture coastal or hinterland outlook while tucking garages and utilities into the fall.
Creative Series starting points

Custom by CMA for unique fall
When catalogue plans cannot suit your survey, custom design adapts room placement, piers, and drops without starting from zero on day one.
Early engineering coordination
Integrate survey, structural, and certifier input before you lock facades and inclusions.
