I hope it happens. We signed building tender and consolidated tender. Yet to sign building contract... who knows what will be the eligibility criteria and what will be the effective date e.g. tender signed before vs after 1st july etc

Hi Hive, driveway style question: Once we’re driving along the suburb we’re building and noticed a beautiful dark bluish driveway with white freckles. Really looked like midnight starry night sky. It looked really wonderful. Now we’re searching to get a similar driveway but couldn’t figure out which...

Hi all, I am almost ready to build our first home. Both of us (I and my wife) drew a floor plan each and we liked both of it. So we decided to ask other's opinions as well to select one. I am sharing both of the floor plans, please let us know which one you like the most. I love plan 1. The open pl...

@firstdream asset prices are falling and building product supply chains compromised. I suggest postpone until we have more information about the medical and economic impact of Covid19 unless the builders offer you tender and contract deals that de-risk your financial exposure in these circumstances...

The simple fact is that we are witnessing developing human/economic catastrophe, and the world will never be the same again. No one knows what is coming and the severity. The best advice I can give is forget about everything else except survival. Try and keep healthy, do not overexert, take vitamin...

thanks for your feedback. We know the plan is not looking functional hence we are seeking feedback and ideas to change and make it more functional. If we were going with this plan and didn’t want to change, obviously we wouldn't have posted here asking for suggestions. We’ve done our first attempt o...

If you’re concerned about resale value, I think just one bathtub in the main bathroom is sufficient. No need for 2 unless you particularly want one for yourself. And do you need the second en-suite in br4? It seems odd to prioritise bathroom over wardrobe. If you have to put a freestanding robe in ...
Thank you so much for your feedback. We are working on it. We will make one bathroom smaller and get rid off one bathtu...

Master ensuite is really poorly laid out. You really are lacking storage space. I wpuld forgo the second ensuite upstairs and put a robe in there. There is also no robe in guest bed - I thought if there is no wardrobe its not really considered a bedroom and will likely affect resale? All bathrooms ...
If we make main en-suite smaller and get rid off the bathtub from, we can take that space to master ensuite and create ...

My partner and I are in the same situation, and our plan is taking things slow and see how it goes. Worse comes to worst we also consider postpone our building for a a while just paying the land loan. We had our land settled in Nov, 2019, got loan pre-approval from bank for building, but our plan w...

I have the same concern especially on the coronavirus as well, worried if any gathering activities including construction will be banned in the coming 2-4 months. What should we do now! Go on ordering tender or postpone plan?

Our land loan was approved within 4 working days. Now we started to get building quotes/ requesting tender. We have preapproval for 3 mon...
