Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Oct 11, 2014 9:41 pm Put our first deposit on our land at Harvest Estate in Chisholm (Maitland area). We ended up with a corner block 21m wide and 830sqm and a north facing backyard. Pretty happy with the land as it gives us a lot of room. We have been looking at a few designs and narrowed it down to two designs. Clarendon Merriden 30 or the Sekisui (AV Jennings) Meridian 300 (Really similar names I Know!). We are building the place for our selves and also to allow for my parents to live with us. What we like about both of these places is the ability to create separate living areas and for the front of both places to act as a secondary dwelling for my parents while the rest of the house will be for me and my family (2 adults and 2 kids). After looking at both places we are leaning more towards the Sekisui place as there is less that we will need to do to make it functional for all of us. We just need to see how much it will cost us for all of our changes. The main change will be basically changing one of the bedrooms into a master bedroom with ensuite and also creating a study. go upvc window frames ensure insulation under colorbond. not just sarking, lighter color roof also not sure if you have seen this viewtopic.php?t=5823 last couple of pages… 4 110571 Even if it's not being sub-divided and you want to keep it as Torrens title, you will still need to talk to a town planner or Council themselves, to see if they will allow… 1 11035 |
