Re: Our First Ever Home 16Jun 10, 2009 3:29 pm That is an absolutely ripping floorplan for a 21sq home. One of the best I've seen. Walk in pantry, walk in linen, broom cupboard and a good size WIR in the master..... what a fantastic amount of storage!! Great choice! I leave you to fend for yourself, figure things out yourself. Terrence Malick Re: Our First Ever Home 17Jun 10, 2009 9:06 pm Yeah it is a really great floorplan, I think its alot better than a heap of others of similar size I have seen. Definitely going to move that sliding door to next the meals area, in future hope of a nice outdoor area out that way. Re: Our First Ever Home 18Jun 11, 2009 12:56 pm nickbell We have got a block just across from the 12th green at Neangar Park golf course, the only one in Bendigo that is green which is a bonus! Excellent, sounds lovely. Our block backs onto our local golfcourse, which is awsome! joles That is an absolutely ripping floorplan for a 21sq home. One of the best I've seen.

Yes, I'm going to agree with that to Joles, I think it's a pretty awsome floor plan, with minor adjustments you both will be very happy. Wishing you the best of luck with you build.

Re: Our First Ever Home 19Jun 11, 2009 1:10 pm Hi Nick, my bf and I are also nervous & young first time builders, I'm still at uni doing my undergrad degree and building a house at the same time! Probably not the best idea considering we will start building around exam time I agree with the others that the plan is a really good layout for 21sqs! And in relation to tiles PD charges $79 sq m which we thought was quite high so $94 is definately too much! As the others have said get some quotes and do it after handover and you'll save a fortune (can use that to pay of ur hecs ) Re: Our First Ever Home 20Jun 11, 2009 6:48 pm Had our first proper meeting today with our sales guy from DFH, and it was really good and he seemed accommodating for everything we wanted to change. I had already got my own soil test done, and based on that he was able to give us an estimate for the site costs. He thought around $6K which i thought was pretty good compared to alot i've seen. He even said he would take their soil test costs out as a credit on the upfront 1000 dollar payment as I had got one done myself which is very handy. The only upgrades we will be going for will be stainless trough and bit of bench space in laundry, overhead cupboards in the kitchen, 900mm oven/cooktop, door through from garage and a few other small things. All in all should come in around our budget which is great, but I'm sure there will be plenty of things that will change that. So still no slab and apparently the concreter cancelled. Here come the delays... apparently things haven't recovered quite as much as I thought. I've been told maybe next… 8 31606 We already paid for somfy motors for the blinds.
