Re: Building code questions holding up sale - please help!Building Standards; Getting It Right!

Feb 23, 2021 9:32 am

I am having trouble figuring out what would have applied at the time of building (I suppose up to the date of Feb 22 2013). I believe the Australian Standard in question is AS4654-2, though I also understand that an Australian Standard is not necessarily the same as a legally-binding building code....

You'll need compliance drawings for a TYPICAL OVERFLOW DETAIL AS4654.12012 Fig 2.16 The drawings and work will need to ...

Fencing issue - what would you do?General Discussion

Feb 13, 2017 5:01 pm

Hi all, I currently have a house under construction and have recently contacted our neighbour about the fence that needs replacing. For context, we bought the last empty block in a failed subdivision where four dwellings were to be constructed in a row, between the end of the street and an existing ...

Fourth bedroom, or 3 bed + flexible bed/living?Increasing Home Value

Nov 16, 2015 9:10 pm

Hi guys, Apologies for the double post, I have just posted this in the general discussion board but realised it might be better for this one as the decision may impact the value of our home. We are in the process of finding a design/builder for our new home and are trying to decide how many bedrooms...

Downstairs lounge/bed, do we need a fourth bedroom?General Discussion

Nov 16, 2015 9:00 pm

Hi guys, We are in the process of finding a design/builder for our new home and are trying to decide how many bedrooms we actually need. We'll be building a long, narrow two storey house and were originally thinking we would have 4 bed + 1 living (retreat) + 1 study nook upstairs, and an open plan l...

Re: House+Land vs purchasing land and engaging builderGeneral Discussion

Sep 14, 2015 10:45 am

Thanks for your responses, everyone! The builder's rep said that the extra cost was for additional siteworks and higher ceilings (though in the description the ceiling heights are given as standard so I'm not sure I believe him). But we really like the location and we're thinking seriously about put...

Hi cec1974! I see there haven't been many updates to your thread - any photos coming up? Would love to see your colours as you said they were similar to ours. I assume you are all moved in!!

Hey Nick, sorry to see the responses weren't forthcoming in February! Looks like a great home you are building, nice and spacious. How far along are you now? How have Fairmont been treating you? Interesting choice having the home theatre without enclosed walls... or am I misreading that?

sorted out solar panel today, paid the deposit. 5KW REC panel + SMA inverter $7850 is it good price or not?? That sounds pretty good to me - I was getting quoted that much for 3kW when we were sorting our solar! It's all relative though, I think the FITs have changed again which does influence the ...

Your house is going to be seriously epic... once it's done the land value stuff will be a distant memory. Natural stone feature walls in the bathroom - I want to see! Can you HURRY UP? ;)

Glad to hear you've settled in well! Your pup looks so cosy there! What's his/her name? His name is Dorian... as in Dorian Grey(hound). He is very sweet but keeps our backyard looking terrible and has scratched up our floors already! Dogs and pristine homes do not go together but we love him anyway.

Intense is an understatement. Just got my valuation back too - $25K less than what we are paying (due to the way-overpriced LV land). So I have to add a nice chunk of $30K into the build (or pay $32K in Lenders Mortgage Insurance). Fun times. BUT I am very excited about starting the build, not long...

Oh what a shame! Yes, I have heard other instances of overvalued land At least you have a way around it, I guess...! Oh...
