Firstly hello everyone.
We are just in the early thought process of buying our first house and are thinking about building rather than buying a established house as it will hopefully be a little cheaper and also mean we get something closer to what we really want.
However, not being Australians (yet) the whole thing is a bit daunting and were not totally sure what to do.
We have explored the big building companies such as Dale Alcock and know the route that way, but we are interested to see if there is a alternative we could do that might save us some money?
There is no way we could do a true owner builder - i have the DIY skills of a fish and even project managing it would be difficult as i work away from home. So is it possible to just employ a local builder? or some other route we havent thought of?
All advice is VERY welcome
