Hi all,
My husband and I are having our first crack at building in the Great Southern of WA... I have found this forum to be a wealth of information so I hope my contribution will help someone out there too!
We are building a custom farmhouse with Plunkett / Domain Homes. We have finalised our working plans and selections and are just waiting on settlement next week before we hit site. So far the process has been great fun and I have been impressed with our builder's level of communication over the last few months.
Our initial sales consultant was great and after flipping through some floor plans that weren't quite cutting the mustard, he whipped out paper and pen and started sketching. After a bit of back and forth we settled on the plan below which we're thrilled with and makes best use of our acre block.
I'm sure over the following year we will have some ups and downs but overall we are pretty excited at having a go of it!
Our acre block...
A colour board of our selections... Forgot to add the kitchen tiles which are a 300x600mm gloss white which will be tiled in a 1/2 brick pattern. I love the shaker style so will be paying a little homage in my own kitchen...
Our final working plan...
Hopefully not too much longer until we break ground!
