Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Nov 14, 2015 5:05 pm Hi All, Hope someone can help! We have a really narrow corner block and are looking at building a house that is short, but has a long width. We have looked at lots of builders but have struck a brick wall! Has anyone built a wide but short house from a volume builder and know the name of the house? Many thanks!

Have you checked out all the issues with setbacks and choice of primary frontage? Normally on corners, people use the short frontage as the primary frontage, and get a reduced setback on the secondary frontage, which works out to be less land lost to the setback. All 3 items listed are defects and are of concern. Please seek qualified independent inspector and/or legal advice for your state. 1 8494 i had the my concreters concrete right up to the fence.
