Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Anyone Building the Saville or a Single storey with EB? 4Mar 09, 2009 7:48 pm Aww we're in the same boat. Our land has a 1.4 metre fall and also have to have a split in the house plus garage step down. We were totally shocked too when we found out we had to have a split. It really went over our budget. I wanted to cry hehe. Its coz of the council regulations now of max cut n fill of 600mm only. GRR. I guess looking on the positive side our house will be unique (well at a cost).
We got the tender a month ago actually. We took this time to compare builders site cost. Tendered with another builder. The site cost was cheaper but the end price was still similar. I think most builders will charge the same in the end. But you can still try. I only went to two other builders to compare. We will prob end up building with EB. Just have to sacrifice the upgraded facade we wanted. Well the free ones are actually decent compared to what other builders give you as standard. With the family room at the back, we're thinking of changing the sliding door to a window and swap it with the meals area so that will be the sliding door. Just so we can put a lounge chair on that wall and put the TV on the right hand wall. Hopefully that works. Just thinking if there will be glare from the windows but. Well take your time on deciding. I think no matter which builder you go to you will have a split in the house unless u get a custom designed house? But that would probably end up costing more. Just wish there wasn't all these council regulations =( Keep me updated on your progress and I'll do the same. Good luck.
