Colour selections. viewtopic.php?f=15&t=76573 Hi there, January 2014 we secured a block of land in Yeppoon. After utilising First Home Builders Grant of $15k thought it was a great opportunity. At first sceptical of a sloped block but the location really sold it for us. So went through many many builders. Many not wanting to build at all. Some admitted not having alot of experience on sloped blocks and the price reflected this. However settled down with 2 builders. iDesign and DnE Constructions. iDesign is more of a project style builder and specialising in sloped blocks. DnE Construction was a private builder. We would have loved to build with DnE as the builder Dan was absolutely fantastic and transparent with everything. Difference in price was around $6-8k. Worth it if I could afford. iDesign also offer a full design and drafting service as part of the build. Which was awesome. As the builder could alter the plan and made that part of the process sooo much easier http://www.idesignbuilders.com Block of Land: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Finance for construction was delayed due to loss of employment and having to wait through a 6 month probation with my new employer (finance reasons). In the meantime we progressed through the design stage and got everything waiting. So January 2015 we were able to secure Construction finance. Our Plans: Floorplan.

We probably didn't get the overall house size we wanted. However for 195m2 and less deck area we couldn't afford it. With the 195m2 and the larger deck the price came down quite a bit. Price works out to be roughly $1350-$1380 per m2. Current stage: (Just about to complete the Base stage). Carport has been fully concreted as the 20/03/15.

As of Friday last week nothing had been done on the construction.. Quote from our builder at our appointment on 20th of March was. We should have a floor to dance on by Easter and 2 weeks after that the walls and roof on. Then we could get an idea on where we want our lighting switches, etc, Well like I said a month later and nothing has progressed. Still carport, front foundation and stumps. So getting back from work late last week I gave the builder a ring today.. No real explanation on what had happened. Carpenters are on site today (rained all day though) and got a small small portion of the floor down. Colour perspective the builder done up for us.
