Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Jervis Bay custom build - plan ideas for shallow block 15Mar 26, 2013 3:58 pm Thanks Room2Breathe. Congratulations on your soon-to-be-settlement! I'm happy to have a homeone 'neighbour'. I was actually planning on messaging you after doing a search on any forum members building in the area and found you had chosen GJ Gardner Shoalhaven. We certainly have checked them out and will be building with them also. I agree, they are fantastic. The salesperson we have been chatting with for a while now (even before we were considering buying in the area) is just a really nice, genuine guy. My fiance and I feel we could discuss any query/concern/idea in a constructive fashion. Half of Bayswood is built by them so I can see the quality firsthand and have asked around the estate for feedback, all positive. How far along in the house selection process are you? Are you doing a custom plan? Look forward to following your progress. Re: Jervis Bay custom build - plan ideas for shallow block 16Mar 26, 2013 7:51 pm southern-highlander Thanks Room2Breathe.

Maybe we already met lol We are looking at a highly modified Coolum 236 (ends up about 250sqm), but only recently decided that i MUST have a big WIP - so trying to work that into the plan etc too. We were going to do B33chwood but i just cant find anything like the quality of gjs! Our home consult lady, is actually a friend of mine - great coincidence! No mates rates unfortunately haha ETA - sorry, we are up to waiting to settle on the block & finding time to get back to our broker to talk the next bit But have been doing alot of work on our plans with Gjs. Re: Jervis Bay custom build - house design stage 17Mar 27, 2013 5:39 pm Room2Breathe - No, we didn't go to the info evening. We are based in the city so it was a bit far to go. Did you find it worthwhile? Did your friend at GJs work at Bayswood in another role previously? If so, I know her too. I wouldn't be surprised, everyone knows EVERYONE in that part of the world!! I like the Coolum and yes to the WIP! I've had a play around with that plan as a starting point. We have plenty of time to design as we aren't building for a bit. We have lots of things we are really sure we would like but then can't figure out a way to configure a plan to accommodate it all. We were also considering the same builder as Kelbelle in the SH but changed our minds when we bought our block in JB. ideal house depends on the site and location as much as internal floor plan....what is the distance from the house to all four boundaries, where is north, describe your… 3 15165 I'd get the gutters to match your roof and pipes to match the paint - otherwise they become a feature. Nice pick with the paint colours! 1 34269 6 55346 |
