Browse Forums General Discussion 1 Nov 10, 2010 6:30 pm Hi All, I'm sure this question has been asked and answered before, but a little difficult to sort through the plethora of threads!! We currently have an investment property in Brisbane (we live in Darwin) that we plan on moving into in the next couple of years. When we move down to Brisbane we envisage doing a renovation on it. It is a post-war 2 bedroom elevated home. Our intention is to raise (as it needs re-stumping in any case) and turn what is now garage and laundry into living area and have bedrooms etc upstairs. Just a couple of questions: Do we need an architect to draw up plans or will a designer suffice? Is there anyone in the Brisbane area that has undertaken a similar project that can recommend a reliable/good/innovative/cost effective architect or designer? We have received some conflicting information about how much this design process (including council fees etc) will cost and not living in Brisbane it's hard to decide if we are having the wool pulled with regard to price. Are there any ball-park figures of how much a relatively fuss-free design would cost? Your thoughts would be much appreciated. Cheers!! Re: House Raising - Brisbane 2Nov 14, 2010 9:45 am Has anyone had experience with house raising in Brisbane and are there unforeseen pitfalls? Any information would be appreciated. We are not new to renovating, but are used to the systems/companies here in Darwin, so it would be great to get a heads-up if anyone has had a great or not so great experience. Cheers!
