Browse Forums Building A New House Re: need helping building house 13Sep 21, 2013 10:58 pm tsmith Hi there I have just put a deposit on a block of land in wandi, the whistling grove estate. The block I chose is 288 sqm and is 12 metres wide by 24 This is my first build I would love to build a 2 story, but it is to pricey Basically I am after a great house to fit on the block, I am considering Ross north, blue print and Dale Alcock and aveling I would like everything included Anyone recommend a builder for this block? I also want a good sales person, someone with a lot of experience... any recommendations? Thanks! Tim Hi Tim. As you understand you have limited options due to the block size. You can get away with single storey house but it will be very small 4*2 house. I guess you would like a little bit of room at the back of the house. The best choice would be medium range 2 storey such as 101 residential (which has mounted "pod" as a second storey).

Then I'm not sure if you counted all your legal fees that will be charged for your land, that's another 5k and so on. You can go with cheaper builder and lower inclusions or be ready to pay for it thorough Dale Alcock and Ross North. We learnt it the hard way, it's never what you expect to spend it's always extra for this and extra for that. Hi All It has been a few weeks since my last update. The build has been progressing well.
