I'm a long time "reader" of this forum but this is my first time posting. We have been in the "planning" stage of building our dream or forever home for the last 4 years!! We spent 2 years looking for a property in the hills for our children to have room to move before deciding to sacrifice the dream land and build the dream home in the the Adelaide Hills on a regular suburban block We signed a contract with our builder last year after initially being really impressed with our consultant but two years after our relationship "began", we are yet to be at site and wondering if perhaps we should start looking at alternative options following on from a few disappointing turn of events. Our block comes with a few challenges that most project builders aren't equipped to deal with as well as our want and need to have a flat dedicated outdoor space for our kids to enjoy the outdoors. We have a 6m slope from front to back and the area we are building in, is notorious for a bit of rock At this point, all conversations lead to us building an undercroft design house (double story at the front and single at the back) so that we get the most out of the site in terms of house size and useable outdoor space for the kids. Would love to hear from anyone who has had some really positive experiences with custom builders in SA and built an undercroft type house I know it has been years but just wondering how you went with your build with the second builder? Any information you are happy to share. We are also in Blackwood Park with an identical story...about ready to walk away from our current builder. We have about 7m drop accross the block.

First, out the front of the house is a sloping hill, pretty… 0 20874 |
