Re: Single or Double story on battle axe block??Building A New House

Like AlexP said I think your estimates of price for a new build are not accurate. Would consider at least $1300sqm, or build super basic house with no upgrades (remember display homes don’t show you what the basic inclusions are) Thank you Gogo. I will double check with Coral homes this weekend. I ...

If your driveway is 51m long this will incur additional costs for utilities including water and sewage. When you speak to builders make sure they give you an estimated cost for these. Our driveway is 35m long, based on the builders advice $6,700 was added to the construction contract to cover the a...

Thank you for pointing this out, B. My town planner has budgeted 10k for driveway as it would be 3x say 30m just up to ...

Hi D It’s 25m frontage, 22m at back, 18m width on left side and 14m width on the right side. It will be facing north as the land will have 4mx 51m (1/2 easement 1/2 drive all the way through) We need at least 4 beds 2 baths for our 3 teenagers. single story home 19m x 12m $200k to build double stor...

It's nice that the easement is to the north. Build as close as you can to the southern boundary, creating a northern ya...

Hi Alex Thank you for your assurance. After reading other discussions about the battle axe land I was a bit sceptical to spend too much on the new home. We would love the double story home but worry that we might be over capitalising the the property as it is a battle axe block. What would you sugg...

Turn it into private sanctuary and do AirBnbs if you have any nice attractions or beach around. But if you spend peanut...

Have you talked to the planning department of your local council? Suggest you do that before committing to a design....eg a two storey may not be permitted on that site. We built our new house on a 900sqm battle axe block but our council stipulated a minimum area had to be left as garden / open spa...

Thank you for your advice. I was told to see “private building certifier “. I will visit a few display homes this weeke...

What size is the block, & what shape? It’s 25m frontage, 22m at back, 18m width on left side and 14m widt...
