Hi guys,
I'm new to the building world and after purchasing my ~650sqm 20m (wide) x 32m (depth) block of land, I've decided to build my own home. The block is completely flat with P-class soil (those of you who know about this will know what I mean). I've had recommendations for a 350mm thick waffle slab.
Anyways, after doing alot of research I've come up with a draft of my plans. I've done them in Chief architect, have a look at the plans and 3d images below of my proposed house. I'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback, positive and negative! Much cheaper to make a change now than during construction.
I have not gone to a professional designer/draftsman or surveyor yet, this is still conceptual. I plan to start that process next weekend.

I have lots more photos if anyone wants to see different parts of the house. Love to hear your thoughts on it.
Things which are not confirmed yet:
Colour schemes, window placements, exterior textures/colours, furniture arrangements, furniture types (these are just generic from the program).
