Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Jun 02, 2014 2:22 pm With one unplanned addition to our family bringing the tally to 3, our home began to feel a little to cozy and an upgrade was on the cards. After 12 months of reading the 'Building A New Home' forum for ideas and with 1000m2 of vacant land acquired the time had finally arrived. 10 months of house plan designing and multiple quotes from numerous builders, we decided that Distinctive Homes offered us the best value for money. We signed contracts in September 2013 and were finally slabbed on the 15th of May. The selection process was relatively smooth as could be with 3 children in tow (not recommended). The 'Diamond spec' offered some good inclusions although we probably upgraded near on everything, but it meant the damage was minimal.
