Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Mar 17, 2021 10:54 am hi all! we are looking at putting in an offer on a large block in the Illawarra region. its an upslope block and most of the project home companies can't help us so we are looking at custom build options. we need to build a 5 bedroom plus study home with at least 2 living areas around 350m2 total. we would also be dealing with BAL29 restrictions. anyone have any recommendations for a custom home builder who is familiar with Hamptons/american craftsmen style homes in the area that won't cost me a million dollars to build. thanks Re: upslope split level home in the Illawarra NSW 2Mar 17, 2021 3:07 pm Mrscoote hi all! we are looking at putting in an offer on a large block in the Illawarra region. its an upslope block and most of the project home companies can't help us so we are looking at custom build options. we need to build a 5 bedroom plus study home with at least 2 living areas around 350m2 total. we would also be dealing with BAL29 restrictions. anyone have any recommendations for a custom home builder who is familiar with Hamptons/american craftsmen style homes in the area that won't cost me a million dollars to build. thanks Hi Mrscoote Assuming you have a fall say maximum 6 meters you should be able to build for between $700- 800,000 depending on your design and level of finishes. The higher number will get you an absolutely gorgeous home. Just use your slope effectively to minimise excavation. BAL 29 requirements are pretty basic. I would be happy to send you a list if you like, Shouldn't add more then $5-7k to your build cost. I can also refer you to a really good designer who can do you a full package including survey, engineering, BASIX and CDC approval for around $12k that you can use to have your local builders tender off.
