Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Jan 05, 2010 10:08 am Wondering if anyone can provide any feedback on their experience with various builders on the Sunshine Coast in relation to custom builds? We have a block in Coolum that has great views and is a slightly sloping block. We looked at a lot of display villages and various builders designs and couldn't find anything with big decks, kitchen, living and master etc on the 2nd level which we need to maximise the views so we're thinking custom design is the only way to go. We've never built before and are struggling with exactly how to get started. If anyone has any advice it would be greatly appreciated. 2 builders we have been looking at are Number 1 builders and Ausmar. Number 1 buidlers don't seem to be members of the master builders association so that puts me off a bit but Ausmar on the other hand seem to win lots of awards and look to have completed many custom builds in a broad range of styles. If anyone has had any experience with Ausmar or Number 1 that info would be greatly appreciated also. Thanks, Joe & Katrina Re: Custom build Sunshine Coast Qld 2Jan 05, 2010 10:40 am If you are living in or new a new kind of estate, you can drive around and have a look at builders signs up and give them a call or look up their website. Give them a call, they may have a draftsman that can draw your plans or you may need to find one and then get quotes.

My husband and I are thinking of doing the same thing - we have been to every display village in South East Queensland. We love the plans of another builder from Brisbane, but don't know anything about them...has anyone had any good/ bad experiences with Metro/politan Builders? Others are apparently good, but expensive. Cheers, Heather I'd get the gutters to match your roof and pipes to match the paint - otherwise they become a feature. Nice pick with the paint colours! 1 34269 6 55346 So it looks like we finally have some movement on site! Definitely later than expected, but I'll take any progress at this point.
