Browse Forums Building A New House Re: What can $500K build? 21Jan 30, 2011 11:18 pm Thanks all for your good advice! So many things to consider. At this stage we are looking at purchasing a level 1 acre block with services available. In terms of house style and floor plans, we quite like something along these lines: http://www.houseplans.com/3359-square-f ... 2821770%29 Although with a few tweaks- especially to the top floor layout (who needs two master bedrooms - one for his and hers maybe??) Would also add on a conservatory/sun room as well as rear deck to the lower level. But overall is the type of style we are thinking. Have seen so many we like on this website though so its bound to change. We would also need the addition of a Barn to suit. Our ideal love house in the area we are looking is below. Although the price tag is double our budget, we love this style and would love to replicate this type of feel (although not so big!!). It suits the area and surrounds beautifully. http://www.domain.com.au/Property/For-S ... 2008374737 Re: What can $500K build? 22Jan 30, 2011 11:33 pm Found yet another one that we love: http://www.houseplans.com/2473-square-f ... 2812725%29 Kitchen seems a little small, would also add a sun room off in the void between main en suite and great room as well as an en suite to Bedroom 2. But overall quite well suited to our needs. Re: What can $500K build? 23Mar 29, 2011 9:20 pm Hi, I'm building a similar house to the one's you like through a project builder (Nirvana Park). 43sq total (27 living, large 3 car garage and verandahs all around) for 500K. Same as your budget but bear in mind extra costs such as light fittings, curtains, service connections etc. - and landscaping. Hey everyone Not for me or anyone I know, just generally interested. For a single allotment house, are you allowed to take the fence on both sides of your house and… 0 20728 Thank you so much everyone. This all makes a lot of sense. I guess when you talk to a builder who butters up everything to look very polished, you get to start believing… 8 17180 I work with owner, he/she is my man on the ground and I instruct them when to visit the site and take photos and I have other tools in the bag. 4 15019 |
