Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Oct 16, 2012 8:49 pm Hello, new member here. We're planning to do a custom build in Kellyville. This process is very new to us as we built a project home last time. Any experience good or bad on following builders? Things to look out for/ask, during our initial meetings coming up this week. Or any other recommendations for custom homes? HW Barnwell Custom Home Designs Thanks heaps. Re: Building a Custom Design Home - Builders? 2Oct 17, 2012 7:10 am Hi 4evaesh, We have just completed a custom home in kellyville with zen homes. I haven't heard of the two builders you mentioned so can't give any advice. Make sure you have a realistic budget, know what size home you want and what would be your minimum inclusions. This way you won't have any budget blow outs. Allow anywhere from $1000-$1500 sqm depending on inclusions and site. Be aware of any restrictions on your 88b, which you would have got when buying the land, it may have restrictions on size, colour etc Ours had specific points on driveway colour, size of house, fences, shed size( if wanted) obviously the usual setbacks etc Hope that helps a little Re: Building a Custom Design Home - Builders? 3Nov 25, 2012 5:11 pm Hello, I would STRONGLY advise against using Custom Home Designs.
