Hi there from Hobart Tas
My wife and I purchased a 4acre block on the city limits last year and are now gearing up for a build!
I've had a fair bit of experience building before, having helped my Dad build his last place. He did pretty much everything himself from conceptual, design, calculations, drafting to the actual building as an owner-builder. I'd previously helped out on home renovations too, but I must admit to being pretty daunted now that it's my own project!
I'm so glad I found this forum! Being a pretty active forum user for IT related topics it feels very comforting to have a similarly active online community to discuss the building with.
We're hoping to begin work in spring this year.
