Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Mar 03, 2010 9:45 am Hi all; Can anyone recommend a good builder on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland? Budget approximately 300K. Time to build not an issue, as only looking approx 6-12 months time. 700m2 level corner lot, with bush on one side. Need double storey, 4 beds, double garage, 2 1/2 bathrooms, fully rendered, separate media room, very important to be spacious, eg, like void above front door, don't like lots of higgledy piggledly rooms (only 2 of us, but need bedrooms etc for resale, as is family suburb); like a big indoor/outdoor alfresco off living areas. Don't need upstairs/kids retreat, but would be good for resale. Would be happy to do flooring/painting/driveways/decks/rendering ourselves, as the builders seem to slap on huge surcharges for these. Also, I am suss about the cost they quote for water tanks, and upgrade slab from M-H, any suggestions? We've been to see every display village in South East Queensland, and husband and I are having too many er, discussions , so I need some advice asap!!! cheers Heather Re: Recommend Project Builder Sunshine Coast 2Mar 15, 2011 1:14 pm Heather If you are able to do some of the work yourself, why don't you do it as a owner-builder. You only need to take a short course from BSA and then do it all yourself. I don't think there would be any trouble finding trades to do the foundation and framing. A project builder does it the same way. You just need carefull planning in regard to your tender package and an accurate budgetary estimate to work from. All of these services are available on the coast. I did our own renovation this way. Brian Re: Recommend Project Builder Sunshine Coast 3Mar 16, 2011 10:15 am Hi Heather. Try Ausmar Homes. we had a look at their designs and even went to one of their displays before realising they don't build down where we live. From what we saw and from what I've heard about them they're apparently really good.
