We bought a house in Blacktown NSW November 2020 in auction. House was pretty dilapidated and the plan was to demolish and rebuild. We have 570 m2 to play with and immediately decided on single storey house. The shape of our land means that we would need some customized design. We could easily have gone with Clarendon double storey off shelf plans. GJ Gardner was also in the mix initially on. None of these guys have any custom plans for single storey houses and drawing one up costs an arm and leg. So the solution was to goto a small builder who does custom homes.
We settled on Better Built homes and King homes for tenders. Got tenders from both builders and went through the whole design process. Both pretty much started with a blank piece of paper and drew the house in. Long story short, we liked King's home design better than BBH. After a meeting or two with Mark, we hashed out details of the contract and got the ball rolling.
We have plenty of customization in our house. We have 2 master bedrooms, 4 toilets, fully upgraded butlers pantry, 2.7m high ceiling, porcelain tiles throughout, carpet in non tiled areas, driveway, windows on facade. The idea of skylights seemed appealing so we got that put in as well. Attached below is the plan of the house. Council submission should be happening soon.
