Thanks mate. We can't agree on anything so have hired an interior designer who will hopefully help us!
Browse Forums Building A New House Sloping/Narrow Melb build. Slab prep underway 30Jan 21, 2017 7:41 pm Cracking day today!!! Demo kicked off and the guys leveled the house in less than a day.
Bloody impressed with this demo company. Honestly on such a narrow block there was no room to swing a cat and these guys operated their big machinery with ultimate precision to keep neighbouring properties safe and make minimal mess. Very exciting. My 3 year old loved watching it too.

Demo is Underway!!! 38Jan 27, 2017 9:04 pm Met our interior designer today. She's great. Has so many ideas but I recon she is gonna cost me a bomb lol. The biggest thing we are struggling with is flooring choice. Engineered timber vs solid timber (likely spotted gum). Sloping Narrow inner Melb KDR. Contracts signed. 39Feb 17, 2017 12:06 am Alrighty then. Just a little bit excited! Contracts signed today which was a huge deal for us. My builder has been phenomenal to deal with so I'm very happy so far. Also received our initial colour selections for the external bits from our designer. Still getting my head around all of her selections. At the moment it's -Monument for the colourbond -pebble grey for the weatherboards -pebble grey half for the trims/accents/posts -surfmist for the aluminium windows -surfmist for all the downpipes etc -little Hamptons bricks in coach house colour... We went with a cheaper brick as they aren't too visible on the build and we will need the budget elsewhere. Picture sample from the website attached. I'll make a trip down soon to see them in person.

Also met with the mortgage broker today to setup finance. Big day all round. Re: Sloping Narrow inner Melb KDR. Contracts signed. 40Feb 17, 2017 4:04 pm Hello, following your build, the trickier sites have the most interesting houses I find! How did you go about selling items from the old house before demo? Gumtree? Did the buyers just rock up and remove the items themselves? We are looking at a KDR too, and I would like to do the same. So it looks like we finally have some movement on site! Definitely later than expected, but I'll take any progress at this point. I'll drop by over the weekend to get… 5 27738 Thanks again for this information. If you do hear anything different, would be great to know 4 8256 dimensions on your original plan are inconsistent and with accurate dimensions (including site plan, upstairs and down) i could make a proper scale drawing with furniture… 3 7521 |
