Browse Forums Building A New House 1 May 08, 2009 8:18 am Hi, We have just bough a block of land and are now starting to look for a builder. Our site has a building envelope for a two storey home, and given the shape the bigger project builders are unlikely to be able to build on it. So we are looking for someone to design and build our home. We have a budget of around 300k for a 22 - 25 square home (hoping that is realistic). Does anyone have recommendations for us? We are in the North Eastern suburbs. Thank you Re: Builder recommendations - Melbourne 4May 08, 2009 1:09 pm http://www.cdchomes.com.au/ I have used some of there trades men and they are very good (Dont let them know that ). Not the cheapest builder and not the most expensive. I believe they also build to plan. I have also heard they are little on the slow side when it comes to building. However still worth considering. Re: Builder recommendations - Melbourne 6May 08, 2009 2:39 pm Not sure if our builder builds in the north, but we can speak very highly of our dealings with them so far. To give you an idea of where we are at, we've just received our slab invoice. They have a drafty working for them and will sit down with you to work out what you want. They have been extremely reasonable with price - I'd go as far as to say they are very generous, excellent with service and (so far - touch wood) have been great for us!! They are Pro Fine Constructions and definitely worth a look IMO. Good luck with your choice! I should show my builder this thread, maybe they'll chuck in a free letterbox or something! haha ICK So glad the building is over, never again. Loooove our house, but still not quite sure it was worth all of the stress they put us through! Re: Builder recommendations - Melbourne 7May 11, 2009 10:06 pm Hi, I am also building in the north - Laurimar ( Doreen). I am building with Arban who mainly do custom design homes. There pricing and inclusions have been quite reasonable and Nathan the sales rep has been extremely helpful - he is also building so understands $$ and wanting to make it your home, highly recommend them. Well worth the call even if it's a chat and give you some food for thought 1300 881 810.
