Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Mar 23, 2011 9:18 pm I have been kept an eye on this forum for years. It finally reaches a stage that I am going to build my own house. I got a block of land in the Wyndham Harbour estate in Werribee South, VIC. The size is 15m x 30m, fairly small. Based on the design guideline, I can build a three storey home, up to 11m high. I can get beach view from the 3rd storey. I have tried to contact M3tricon and PD(all my favorite designs come from them). However, as expected, they do not build 3 storeys.... So sad. Ok, questions here. Q1: Do you know any builder has existing three storey plan? Or these plans are all customised? Q2: For a 50 square home from PD (Bond46 + some changes), I could get it done under 500k (e.g. base price 300k + options + site cost). That's 10k/sq. And I have already ticked all the options I need. How much will it cost for a custom builder? Q3: Does build 3 storey home significantly expensive than build a double storey? For example, 50sq in double storey for 500k, how much will be that for a three storey 50sq home? Q4: Is there a easy way to convert a double storey to a storey home? I only want a huge rumpus room (let's say 10 sq + a roof top terrace) Thanks for all your helps We used a smaller qld builder who went bankrupt about 12 months after completion of ours.
