Yes, the idea was to give the kids essentially their own wing of the house. The other half has grand plans for lots of interstate guests staying overnight, and we wanted to keep the kids area private. Means putting the guest bedroom door in the Dining area, and the added ensuite means some loss of room in the main ensuite and Bed 2, but they're the sacrifices you make I guess. The change causing the most issues is the toilet in the laundry! But apparently it's important to have a separate toilet close to outside access for pool use and alfresco entertainment. Re: Feedback on 34sq Plan (MJH Oasis) 16Aug 29, 2015 10:19 am Hi Danni, We also had a budget like yours in mind at the start of the process. Our estimate for site costs is about $15k (flat site, H1 soil likely) + $5k for BAL 12.5. With our changes, including widening garage, alfresco grande, etc, the current (pre-colours, electrical) price is sitting around $350k. I'm expecting we'll end up around $400k, maybe a bit more, which for a 335sqm house comes out to about $1200/sqm, which from all I've read seems about right. We won't go crazy with colours and electricals. We'll be moving from a crappy 130sqm rental in Sydney that is very old, so little things like an internal laundry and cupboards that close will be a luxury! And we'll be adding a pool as well. Beginning to feel like a lot, but to be honest, it will still end up coming probably half a million dollars less than if we were to purchase the rental we live in, in Sydney.

Absolutely agree on the wasted space. We have no desire for the master to be that oversized, but it occurred when we increased the depth of the garage. We have… 4 14201 6 57427 |
