Re: New home Custom build Sydney - bricks started 46Oct 09, 2015 9:11 pm We're doing a custom build in Sydney too, we are still at slab stage, since our builder is doing an infill style slab, looks so complicated compared to your waffle slab. viewtopic.php?f=31&t=75739&p=1299716#p1299716 Re: New home Custom build Sydney - bricks started 47Oct 10, 2015 7:15 am Building4my3tots We're doing a custom build in Sydney too, we are still at slab stage, since our builder is doing an infill style slab, looks so complicated compared to your waffle slab. viewtopic.php?f=31&t=75739&p=1299716#p1299716 I was not aware of infill style slab. Just googled and found out. Yes it is complicated. Why he didn't go for waffle pod slab? just checked your thread your house looks big and amazing time flies so quickly. Once the slab is done the build progresses fast. As per my builder there are so many regulations to follow and inspections to arrange before the pour. Sometimes inspectors are not available so this whole process is time consuming. Re: New home Custom build Sydney - bricks started 48Oct 10, 2015 9:52 pm Great thread here and house looks great. I'm also doing a cusom build in South West Sydney. Going to an independant architect and a custom builder was the best decision we made. Look forward to more updates. Re: New home Custom build Sydney - bricks started 49Oct 11, 2015 8:34 am SMK Great thread here and house looks great. I'm also doing a cusom build in South West Sydney. Going to an independant architect and a custom builder was the best decision we made. Look forward to more updates. Thanks SMK. Our block was narrow block only 12.5 meters wide and 40 meters long. Most of the big builders didn't have any design which will suit our block. We wanted some extra features like walk-in wardrobe for teenager daughter and outdoor kitchen. we also wanted a guest bed room with ensuite. Some of big builders straight away said no they can't do. So we decided to go for custom build and this is the best decision we made. At least I think so . Our house demolished on 24 august and in just one and month we have seen lot of progress. Our builder is amazing. Never says no to any amendment. We have a fixed price contract but if want to change anything like extra power points or home theater setup he just asked his electrician to do for us and we will pay him 200 dollar per day for the electrical work. All in all I am enjoying my custom build. The build is progressing so fast that neighbors always comment on his work and call him MR. Speed LOL.

Hi seemaraghav, thanks for the update your builder is so quite I'm so amazed! Would you know the details of the brick layer he used? And if you can PM me the brick layers details?

Definitely later than expected, but I'll take any progress at this point. I'll drop by over the weekend to get… 5 27716 I'd get the gutters to match your roof and pipes to match the paint - otherwise they become a feature. Nice pick with the paint colours! 1 34269 |
