I also wouldn't match the gable to the garage. And I'd definatley put a glass balustrade on that balcony. The aluminium doesn't do anything for the street appeal Sry, Glue down vinyl is ick IMO. - I didnt get this ? is it equal to Hybrid or worst choise bcz glue vs floating ? Thanks much for all yo...

there's nothing attached. 4. i suspect your enot going to get far on this one. Im just surprised that ther eare builders still selling homes with single glazing. 8. didnt realise it was for a balcony. 1900 is a little high but in the scheme of things its not like a 15k upgrade for internal stairs t...

Depends on the quality of the product you choose. 600x600 is nice, but are they porcelain rectified tiles, or ceramic cushioned edge with low variance in the pattern? Would you be using cat 1 laminate (unlikely water proof) or hybrid floor? All have pros and cons. If you want durability and ease of...

Hi Team, ITs a long post. First time build, so I got more questions. Please share your suggestions or ideas from your experience. Thanks very much. 1) I have planned to keep 600mm tiles in the ground floor (living and kitchen) so that it would look bigger as build area is small. But we got an option...

What would be the better option - Is it better to install solar on Duplex units from builder (3kw $3500-$5500 per unit) or hire a solar company later to install this ? I know it can be little bit lesser, but heard many stories about installation on the roof and damaging it, etc. Please suggest the n...

you are only obligated to pay for half of a fence that is considered sufficient. I'm unsure what that would be in a rural setting, but in an estate it would be whatever the estate guidelines stipulate - eg a wood paling fence or a colourbond fence in a specific colour minimum 1.8m High. anything ov...

I got a letter related to my land in a Remote NSW. Somehow the backside of my lot owner found my address and sent a mail stating they prefer a specified color fencing and it would cost $3600, share your thoughts etc. my situation is I may end up to sell the land in an year or build after an year dep...

the 50 year isn't worth the paper its written on. There's usually so many caveats and conditions to meet to maintain the warranty for the whole period. If something happens 20 years down the track that does impact the structure, its going to be a fight to prove that the root cause isn't caused by y...

I have to choose a builder between two. One is giving 50 years structural warranty whereas another one gives a standard 6 years structural warranty Bcz it’s a small builder compared to The first one. I got feedback for small builder that for their quality build and finish. In the current situation, ...

Given the factor of rising prices in Construction Industry , Is it a wise option to build homes as I have two vacant lands sitting since 2 years. Does the constuction cost would come down in the future (its a crystal ball, but based on the past) or no chance of going back for material prices and sup...

why not just ask your builder? As a way of comparison I was charged 8.8k for a double storey to increase to 2735 GR and 2585 FF. 20 sqs ground floor area and 16 sqs first floor. Thanks and it gives me a picture. I have a middleman working for my custom design, that's why I could not get a concrete ...

I have a double storey design with GF ceiling height 2.59 and FF ceiling height 2.44. How much it would cost to increase the FF ceiling height from 2.44 to 2.59 ? Approx .. Someone is saying that would require a redesign for this as I wonder why? Please show some light in this space. Thanks

Our building costs soared with all the added extras we added, we only added raised ceilings to the ground floor and I'm wishing I paid the extra for raised ceilings on first floor also now... How much it would cost to increase first floor ceiling height from 2.44 to 2.59? Someone says that it would...

Has anyone built their house with Privium Homes/Impact homes ? How about their finishes and final product ? It would be really great, if you share you experience ?

Hi JanePart, how did you go with Council approval. I have a build contract from Oracle. Just want to hear from you all, before I sign with them. How are they working, in terms of moving things?

Thanks much. I am based in Sydney as well. Please share any email, if you don't mind.

I am planning to build a duplex for investment on 600sqm lot with two options a) Single storey with 3 bed + 2 bath +1 car on both sides (150+sqm on each side) b) Double storey with 3 bed + 2 bath +1 car on both sides (75+ sqm Ground Floor and 75+sqm First floor on each side ) Double storey gives mo...
