Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Jun 01, 2009 8:13 am Hi Folks, Very new to this, so hello! We've bought a block of land in Melbourne with a specific building envelope - which means we will be going with a custom builder. I am trying to work out what we could fit into the shape. We would like 3 bedrooms and study nook/gallery upstairs - main with WIR and Ensuite. Downstairs, open living across back with kitchen, family & meals. Laundry probably on right hand side (west), powder room, formal living and small study. Of course we also need a staircase! I have a pdf of the rough envelope, but for some reason can't link it on here - any suggestions? I have no idea where to start with doing even rough drawings, so thought you folks might have some ideas! Thanks for any advice. Re: Floor plan ideas? 2Jun 01, 2009 8:20 am Hi We have paid our initial deposit with Porter Davis but we are also looking into GJ Gardner Homes. We went to their display in Geelong on Saturday and they are a customer builder and you can also choose one of their plans. We just took a rough plan into them and they will figure out the rest for us. Because you sort of know where you want rooms to be located may be you should chat to them and they could put something together. We saw a guy named Simon and he was very helpful just waiting back for his draft plan and the price. I hope this helps Re: Floor plan ideas? 3Jun 01, 2009 8:31 am Not sure of other procedures, but you have to use a site like photobucket to import your photo/sketch, and then get the image "url" thing, and paste it into your posting. That is how I do it. I have to click the preview to check that I have added it correctly. Built the Driftwood with C*ollier Homes Moved in 8 November 2009 Slowly getting organised ..... Re: Floor plan ideas? 4Jun 01, 2009 12:04 pm Thanks for the help! I am attaching our building envelope. Just wondering if anyone here likes playing around with floorplans and has some suggestions of how we could organise the location of rooms? I would like to have some ideas to take to a draftsman/custom builder.
