We are building two story house and really like the Boral Roof - Savanna Windsor, but we have trouble working out the colour for the linear board which cover most of upstair font of the house We are having a light cream colour brick, so we thinking of a Classic Cream for Linear board to go with the ...

We currently have standard Raked bricks for our two story house, but if we upgrade to a flush surface brick there will be a upgrade about $1000. We plan in the future to render (side with bag and paint), should we upgrade to a flush surface brick so when we render in the future, less material is use...

Call Ken 0438 077 112 and he is our consultant - very helpful and allow us to make changes to the plan...

If you going to have the living/kitchen on ground floor, I suggest 2.7m ceiling. I think you probably looking at a few thousand dollar depends on the size of your house.

I probably looking at about $1000 per sqm in Brisbane area including floor covering etc. Again it depends on the size of the house and inclusion.

This is our block which has a 'H' Class. :( We also have some rocks and still waiting for our builder's cost on the extra piers The neighbor has a bore because of the water underneath the rocks, which mean more likely we have similar rocks in our block, the water taste beautiful though.

The block is about 12.5m wide, 45.278m depth. Its 558m2 size of block which is larger than 500m2. We are a standard lot with a narrow frontage. We will meet the council people later this week and will let you know their feedback.

We are aware of the Queensland Development Code, just to give you some back ground info of our proposal. For the queensland code, its set back is based on MOP not to the wall, so for our block 12.5m, we can have only up to 1.4m set back (includ eaves), but we have a 1.6m set back which mean by the t...

Yeah I agreed. We managed to get a couple of things in lieu of the changes instead (extension of the Media room) at the end of the day, we are happy with the plan and we happy they allow us to make the changes (not like some big project builder).

How depth is your house. I guess you will need to have your garage at the front of the house? With the council we in, they are not allow to have the garage to dominate the front of the house, therefore a balcony is required. Did you have the same issue? We in Brisbane (south east Brisbane). Anyway, ...

We had to cut our house by about 20 sqm. We are paying about $780 per sqm, but instead we only getting back at $350 per sqm. Is this fair? the builder claim to deduct off GST and labour, but when we ask to add new thing, they charge a full price!

We have a block which has the sewer man running across the west boundary of the block (on the side of the block), according to the local council, we need to build 1.5m away from the sewer line (where the sewer line is already 1m from our boundary (the fence). For a biger house, our builder suggest t...

We belong to Redland City Council (south east of queensland), but in order to get our plan through, the builder suggest to go with the Queensland's code - which mean the eave is part of the house when it comes to set back (but they will accept smaller set back). I will double check with the council....

Yeah, the block we have is not in any new estate , so we didn't have to meet any requirement for the size of the eave, except we have to satisfy the local council when it comes Development Application. But we rather keep the small eave instead of having a cut the house by 200mm. I agree with To-do-l...

We are building a 2 story house (South east of Brisbane) on a narrow block of about 12.5m, our builder is suggesting to reduce the eave on the each side of the house from 450mm to 250mm. I haven't come across with house that have small eaves before and not sure how it will turn out? Also would you s...
