Plan looks great! It looks like a narrow block. We are also building on a narrow block. Good luck for the build!

Thanks! Yeah block was a large one that’s been sub divided down the middle so ours is 10m x 50m. Glad we could design something to fit the space effectively!

Bricks are here!

Bricks have started.... Just.

We have walls. ETA on bricks complete is next week!

More bricks done today! So quick

Progress continues....

Are you staying in the apartment next door?? How good is that!

Hahaha I wish! No we made friends with the neighbour who has been sending us daily progress pics as we are living regionally until the build is complete.

Ahh that makes sense. Good thinking.
Build is looking great. I really like your floorplan - so many narrow lot plans don't flow well but yours is well designed and functional

Thanks! We’re really happy with it. My brother used to work for HomeGroup so he spent a lot of time with us drawing it and making sure we were happy.
Just hoping it feels right when it’s all finished.

Internal walls going up and T bars installed.
