Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Apr 27, 2009 12:32 pm Hi there - first time poster here. from alot of post's i've read it seems a lot of members have bought house and land packages out of the city - and this is obviously the more common approach. My partner and i have come across inner city land in sydney and wondering if anyone knew of a builder/ home construction company with building terraces from scratch experience. this is all priliminary reserach so far - nothing has been signed. But we have access to plans that were previously approved (have since elapsed as 2 years has passed) and thinking of asking for some cost estimates from various builders - but the hard question - what builders to ask. any feedback or information would be greatly appreciated.

You are about to enter a world of a lot of confusion, heartache and excitement - building a home never runs smoothly. So my first lesson to you would be - PATIENCE!! Start by phoning builders in the yellow pages. Ask them if they have experience in building in high density areas. Ask them would they be willing to build in your area. Ask them to quote on your plans. These are all basic things to do - one that most people would do when not building with a spec builder. Some things are worth waiting for.
