Does it make you start comparing? Hehe. Haha, no actually - Since ours is a custom drawn floorplan, we will be unique! There is plenty of beautiful double storey houses in the estate though, and I find myself admiring them when we drive though. Re: First Home - Custom Design in South Ripley QLD 18May 18, 2017 10:21 pm I am still looking at different houses in the papers or around town or when we come through Ipswich or Brisbane etc.. and think.. hmm what could we do differently... and there are many beautiful house designs on H1 as well. For interests sake, what was the process for your custom design? Did you draw a vision yourself and have a draftie convert into a proper house or use an architect or engineer to make sure it was sound?

Our broker put us in contact with another broker friend of his, that works with our builder and an architect. We had a meeting with them all, showed them a floorplan we liked and told them what we did and did not want to have in our house. The architect drew up a design for us, loosely based off what we showed them but our needs in mind. He nailed it, we didn't change anything! We met at the builders private display home, and they had it built to show exactly the standard. So no hidden upgrades or anything, which we really liked. They are very straightforward, and are also very flexible too which is awesome. Re: First Home - Custom Design in South Ripley QLD 20May 19, 2017 10:25 pm Thanks for that. So it could go any way. Did you have to pay a fee for the architect at all? Or does the builder do that?
