Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Feb 07, 2009 3:52 pm Hi, I am new to this forum and we are currently looking into building through Devine (a house and land package) south of Adelaide. We are wanting to convert our 'double garage' which is included, to a 'single' garage, in order to make our front lounge room larger. Now we mentioned this to our sales rep today and she said it will probably cost way too much and they might not honour the 18 weeks build time! Does anyone have any idea on what this might cost, and whether it is likely they wont honour the build time??
We are going in to see her (again!) tomorrow, and she is only there on weekends which is a real PITA! Re: Altering double garage through Devine.. need advice ASAP! 2Feb 07, 2009 9:17 pm Just to put the other side of this, have you considered the future saleability of a single garage home vs a double? Not saying this should change what you are doing, but you should at least be aware that most people appear to prefer a double garage.....except maybe in cbd or retirement village locations. I guess all these things change over time, though....
Another aspect to think about is that lounge suites can be split up and used in different rooms. After noticing the dearth of lounge suites in the professionally decorated display homes, we are planning on using a sofa with a couple of odd chairs in one living area and the two matching chairs in other rooms, possibly individually. There seems to be something a bit (non-cool) retro about the old favourite lounge suite lately. Just a couple of aspects that might be worth considering Cheers zeke My garage door has started playing up recently. Sometimes (and getting more frequent) when I press the button to open it, it wont.
