Is it a modified Hastings and did you have to pay much extra for this facade compared to the Hastings for example. We are building a Noosa 28 in QLD. Would so love if you were able to respond. I have attached the facade I want but yours is lovely so I'd be happy for something similar. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Hello, I like that facade and wouldn't be upset to come home to it. About our facade it was basically just a custom design that Coral accommodated for us. We just asked. But keep in mind that most of the house we built was custom, so creating a different facade wasn't so off our process. We kept the facade idea from a McDonald Jones design called Parklane, I drew it up in my house plans that we gave to Coral and could show that it worked with roof lines, interior walls, front setbacks etc etc, and it might have helped that Coral had similar facades that they were comfortable just changing a bit here and there. I get the impression that Coral is now a slightly different company to who we dealt with so perhaps they're not as flexible any more? I can't say. But keep in mind that that practically all house builders are custom builders. There's no such thing as a one size fits all design, so it shouldn't be too much of a stretch to ask if you can have the facade from build X or design Y on your design. For example, the Coral's Santorini design has a similar facade option to what we had - can you ask for that and move the front posts as required? My understanding of the builders thought process with these things is less about if they can build it, and more about the long term viability of the option. Will it leak? etc. If they already have a similar option on their books they should be more comfortable with adding it to your home. Does that help? Aaron My Build Thread: Coral Homes Noosa 279 Ask the council if there is a chance of getting build over easement exemption. Sometimes easements are unused and 24cm is not all that much. Good luck. And yes any builder… 2 13771 In Qld it is a requirement that a builder must have a cost breakdown, for building a home to the same specification, with the same inclusions and the same finish.
