Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Oct 05, 2012 5:51 am Hey Let me begin with saying sorry bout the bad photos as plan but I am deploy to Afghanistan at the moment so I have limited resources. Well we have a block it is 12.15m2 x 45.54m2 so it thin. We are looking at building a 280-300m2, 4 x bedroom home with maybe a pool area which will add around 20-30 more m2. Our budget is 300-350k for the build. We are new to all this but I have a Brother inlaw that can do the elec and my dad offered to do the flooring (wooden floor boards). We are looking at two option builder does the complete build except above two things and A/C. Or Build does to lock up, paint and plumbing and we get SS to come in and do kitchen, bathrooms and pool. We are looking at the second option due to the fact we have until 2015 to finish the house so no rush and we would like mid-high spec kitchen and bathrooms so think we may get more for our money if outside pers to do this. So any feedback on the two options and our budget would be great to see if we are going in the right direction. Attach below are diagrams of house plan, outside plan and main bedroom plan feedback on this also would help.
