Hi Folks,
Have been reading for a while, and can finally join in!! We are the proud owners of a lovely patch of land in NE Melbourne and have just signed up with a local custom builder to build our 2nd dream home. We built first time round, just a small house - pre kids. Absolutely loved the building process, and loved our first house. Unfortunately we outgrew it and found a block around the corner so sold up and are renting while we build.
We are building in Nillumbik, so have a very specific building envelope and a long list of requirements to meet for our planning permit, hence the custom build. Just got plans back from the architect and are very pleased, so off to council we go (and then wait for around 6 months )
Now we are in the process of considering our options with finish. So will definitely be in here asking LOTS of questions!!
What a great resource!!
Talk soon
