Browse Forums Building A New House 1 May 15, 2011 9:30 pm Hi guys, New to the forum. We have put a deposit on a block in Doreen Vic and have found a home we really love. It is the Lexington Lux Q1 however we are wondering if its is costly to modify the floorplan. What we want to do is basically keep the front of the house the same (Garage and Master bedroom) but then flip the rest of the house horizontally. It will require reducing the size of the ensuite a little and adding about a metre to the length of the garage. Has anyone done any major modifications to a floorplan from Henley or any other builder like this before and if so is it extremely costly? Just want to get a rough idea before we go sit down with someone at Henley if it is worth considering or if it gonna be a huge addition to the costs of the build. Any info would be great.

Henley said no, can't be done as the garage didn't line up with the other side of the house. they didn't give us an option to reduce the ensuite etc. But no harm in asking them again - they might realise that some people want it that way. cheers Huddo 2 6428 Hi, If you give a set of criteria as to what means 'good' to you, it'll give others prompts to respond. We considered Henley early on but there were two factors that… 1 10514 I am not sure whether Perth has its own way of doing things in regards to this. Most of Perth has class A (sandy soil), except for some areas near rivers or hills. 2 13103 |
