Hi All,

Ive been reading all the posts by various people on this forum. Very useful stuff. Im in the throws of building my own place. Should have a slab by end of Feb. Im also an avid DIY'er and will be doing most of the finishing myself (utilising the already abundant information from yourselves, and hopefully able to contribute back). I will most definitely be detailing my progress, pains and lessons learnt as I progress. Highlights for me in the DIY world are going to be C-BUS home automation, Bamboo and tiled floors, self built gates, decking and planter boxes.

I am building with Ross North and my URL is: http://grant.bradleyclayton.com.

Thanks again to everyone who has contributed to this board.

Cheers
Grant

Hi

My partner and I just recently built a 3 bed unit in Melbourne.There were tears, smiles and laughs... but honestly i couldn't have done it without the help of our builders. They were just great. Check out their <a href="http://www.dennisfamily.com.au/dfh/display.sok">display homes</a>... so so helpful!

Good luck
Summer

Ok i know a few of you put faith in your builders but I highly advise that you take on independent building inspections.. I did and it was worth it..

My builder in the end still did a pretty good job to where were at.. we had minor issues that could be fixed asap..

Allworth Torquay 43

Cheers :-)

How much are you spending on it total? Which upgrades did you choose? What were you site costs? We are seriously considering Torquay.
Is there a Torquay 43? The size as mentioned on their website is 40sq. Did you change the plans? How good are they with a change request?

I don't think the front page has been updated in months.

So here is our blog again if anyone's interested. We're building an Eden Brae Saville with a twist!
