Pretty common construction material. Light good R rating but not as impact resistant as bricks so strictly first floor only. Allows more interesting design without using as much structural steel. Re: KDR in Melbourne SE suburbs- Carlisle - Montpellier 51 59Aug 28, 2018 8:36 pm Hi Kirashogun, Isn’t using foam cladding used as a standard by all builders? Do they mention what type of cladding will be used? There is nothing in our tender. The frame is mentioned - MPG 10, 90mm x 45mm pine frames. I would think all builders would have to adhere to the same standards as regulated by HIA. So many intricacies 🙄 FOLLOW MY BUILD: https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=92532 Re: KDR in Melbourne SE suburbs- Carlisle - Montpellier 51 60Aug 28, 2018 9:04 pm No, not all builders use foam cladding. If you check the Affinity brochure on their website you'll see at the summary pages at the back in the section "External Items". It says foam cladding to first floor. It supposedly has good thermal insulation properties. Generally speaking, it does look like it should be limited to the 1st floor but I've come across a thread in this forum where they built a custom home with foam cladding for both the ground and 1st floor. Thanks for your reply! We're definitely not after a small house Might still have a chat to them. Who did you end up building with if you don't mind me asking? 2 2792 The biggest challenge will be if you take out a loan and then run out of money - you'll have an incomplete security and lenders do not like this so you can get stuck.… 2 20099 Hi, I am looking into doing a KDR in Melbourne and am contemplating using Kialla Homes. I am looking for feedback on them from others who have built with them. 0 14240 |
