Hi Stina, how did you end up going with the whole process and build. Are you happy with the result? We are potentially looking at a Shroud home also in outer Eastern Melbourne, plans suite but the only thing is alot of their inclusions still look pretty basic compared to the likes of Carlisle, Henl...

We are building a GJ Gardner home, a modified Montville 380 on an acre block. Any feedback from anyone who has built with them or has built a Montville would be great to hear from you!

As I said, I'd consider rearranging the living areas, so there's a window facing east, the hill. Probably the same for the master bed. I'd also consider rotating the garage pavilion, thinking about how the home addresses the street. But here's the rough plan on your block. Not to scale at all. http...

Thanks so much. This is great. I'll have a proper read a little later.

Sorry what do you mean if it angered right? Hi everyone. I was just wondering if you could give me advice on this floor plan. This is the first concept drawing we’ve received and I gotta say I’m pretty happy with it. Are there any suggestions you’d give? We love the pavilion style house. Ignore the ...

https://forum.homeone.com.au/u/94583_1608866802.jpg I also have this.. Lot 13. Does this all help? Firstly, what climate are you in? What's appropriate for Hobart certainly isn't appropriate for Cairns. A pavilion home is probably a great idea in warmer climates, as cross-ventilation will be aided....

Yeah I don't understand why GJ's is so expensive.. It literally leaves no room for extras. They said 800k for the Montville. Love the floorplan however that's just WAY too expensive. We got a quote with Stroud for the 329 and then did heaps of changes to make area's bigger. Living room and Master wi...

my main suggestion would be to change the garage door for easier access, with reversing area and parking bay to the side of the house rather than crowded at the front..changing the garage door also allows for wiw for beds 3 and 4 and bed 2 has a full wall of biw and looking down the hallway shows a...
