Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Oct 12, 2012 11:22 am Hey everyone, I am planning to build a new house because of growing family. I got a land 18X24m. In recently months, I visited all display village and collected a lot of project home existing plan in SA. But I couldn't find any existing plan can fit my block and meet our family requirements. Some builders told I can bring my own plan to them and they can work out what will do next. My question is: 1. is this called custom design? 2. what is the steps for custom design? for example, finding a draftman to draw my plan and then tranfer to builder? or can I draw a concept plan by myself and let builder polish it? sorry, too many questions. happy to heard any suggestion.

you can sketch your own plan (it doesn't need to be professionally done) or take any of existing builder's plans, highlight there what you would like to modify and bring it to the builder. The builders are all different, some of them may not be interested in custom designs at all when others will take your sketches and draw some floorplans for you at no cost like F0rmat did for us. It will be called "custom design" yes, but apart from that the process should be the same as for any other build. The costs are calculated based on the features you selected, quality of soil, complexity of design etc. When you get the idea of of your future house - visit those display villages and talk to the consultants, show them what you've got, listen to what they suggest. Sooner or later you will find your dream builder who will build your dream home Re: Can anyone give me a idea about custom buildin? in SA 3Oct 15, 2012 9:08 am RagnarD hi pengruijun! you can sketch your own plan (it doesn't need to be professionally done) or take any of existing builder's plans, highlight there what you would like to modify and bring it to the builder.
