New to the forum and new to building... my wife and I have secured our dream block in the South East of Melbourne...
Great views... sloping block (sloping up from the front) and the daunting fact we need to find a custom builder.
We're lost because we have a great draftsman, but no builder.
I want to engage the Draftsman to design our home... but I'm worried he'll design it A) and no builder will be able to build it or want to go near it or B) He'll design it and if we find a builder, they'll charge a fortune over budget.
We were considering just finding a one stop shop... such as Latitude 37
They offer a complete service... and they seem to be around $12-$15k per square we believe.
However, I've been told this can be a bit expensive and I could save by engaging a builder and doing some of the fit out myself and not being restricted by their options.
Anyway... we're lost and without direction
We are absolutely limited by budget. A decent budget... but still a budget.
Any one know of any good builders in the South East (Think Narre Warren) - that are happy for split level, custom builds and anyone that is affordable

I'm probably asking too much but we really feel lost
Thanks for your feedback guys
