Browse Forums General Discussion 1 Jan 09, 2022 9:00 am Hi all, We are looking to build a 45 - 50 sq house in The Gables, Box Hill, NSW. Any suggestions on the builders on who would do good designs on this size houses. We have currently short listed Windsor/Waldorf 44 from Eden Brae Downsized Hampshire 54 from Metricon Boston 42 from Clarendon Any other builders you would suggest based on personal experience? We thought of going with custom builders but are really not so confident on how they would do considering the current covid circumstances. Any good personal experiences with custom builders? Thanks in advance! Prash. Re: Good Builders for over 40sq Houses in NSW 2Jan 21, 2022 11:49 am Hey there, Prash. I read your post and thought I could assist. Your choice of a custom builder or one of the big new home builders depends on how complex your design is. You probably don't need a custom builder if you can find a floor plan and specifications online that meet 90% of your needs. It's cheap to build according to the standard specs with big builders. You might want to consider working with a custom builder if you need a lot of changes to the standard plans. Bigger builders make their money by upselling extras. It's also important to know that larger builders tend to have pretty low-quality standard specs. They're doing this so that you upgrade as much as possible. The final price is always about 30% higher than the sticker price when you get a floor plan from one of the larger builders. Re the 3 plans you mentioned - how well do they match your needs? Would you have to make a lot of changes to get what you want?
