Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Aug 24, 2010 12:50 pm Hi everyone, Hoping someone can help us. We're planning on building in Hidden Valley, on Siena Ridge; narrow block, approximately 3 metre fall, maybe slightly more or less (amazing views). Not sure where or who to start with in this massive project. We are needing to stay in budget. Is it unrealistic to think we can build for less than 220 including site costs? What builders are good to approach for budget homes? We believe split level is more expensive than single, is that right? We'd love any advice or comments from anyone...don't really know where to start... Re: Building in Hidden Valley 2Aug 24, 2010 1:01 pm Hi there, welcome to Homeone $220,000 sounds awfully cheap, especially if that's including site costs. We have built what most would probably call a 'budget home' mainly due to building with a smaller builder. Depending on what size house you are looking at building, but I think the site costs and fall may hurt your back pocket a little. Good luck, Hidden Valley is goooooooooorgeous! Dear J.K. Rowling, Your books are entirely unrealistic. I mean, a ginger kid with two friends? Sincerely, Anonymous Re: Building in Hidden Valley 3Aug 24, 2010 1:01 pm Hi *waves*. I'm up in Aurina Village so I can see your block from here! I will form part of your amazing view. There is a builder that does a lot of split level house in the estate. He did one on my street and someone on my street is going to build an investment property up on Siena with them. I can get details if you like. Honestly, I think you will be really pushed to do it for 220k, but it could be possible. Have you asked some of the people on the street? They may give you some pointers toward a builder. I leave you to fend for yourself, figure things out yourself. Terrence Malick thanks guys! yes this is how I've exactly raised it with the builder. still awaiting response. 12 6026 Thanks for your reply. I will just wait and see I guess. Trying to get some more information from our builder. 9 30235 |
