building a inner city terrace - advice please

Page 1 of 1
Hi there - first time poster here.

from alot of post's i've read it seems a lot of members have bought house and land packages out of the city - and this is obviously the more common approach.

My partner and i have come across inner city land in sydney and wondering if anyone knew of a builder/ home construction company with building terraces from scratch experience.

this is all priliminary reserach so far - nothing has been signed. But we have access to plans that were previously approved (have since elapsed as 2 years has passed) and thinking of asking for some cost estimates from various builders - but the hard question - what builders to ask.

any feedback or information would be greatly appreciated.

Fair enough my questions is different - but where would you start if you were in my shoes.

cheers

Sometimes the biggest disappointments are born of the greatest expectations...
Everyone on here is generally very helpful - unfortunately your question is very specific so you might have to wait for the right person to come along and answer it!

Chris probably not a good way to start your Homeone experience methinks.

You are about to enter a world of a lot of confusion, heartache and excitement - building a home never runs smoothly. So my first lesson to you would be - PATIENCE!!

Start by phoning builders in the yellow pages. Ask them if they have experience in building in high density areas. Ask them would they be willing to build in your area. Ask them to quote on your plans.

These are all basic things to do - one that most people would do when not building with a spec builder.
thankyou kyton and i will have to learn to be more patient... its not my fault im a developer and expect alot of stuff to happen instantly *jokes*

hopefully might have something worthwhile to report back later.

appreciate the comments thus far though - its a whole new world to me.
