I'm planning on building myself and only consider plans where media / theatre rooms are no where near bedrooms . Given the proximity you may want to consider two layers facing the bedrooms. Fademan, Thank you for your suggestion. I will ask my builder about sound check plaster. Re: RegVic's first build - Custom plan - Local builder 83Jul 11, 2016 8:11 pm Dee80 RegVic NEED HELP...

I love how the bedrooms are on the one side with the long hall way. Can I ask what your using the mudroom for ? I've never heard of one, apart from being a room off the garage before entering the house. Your set up raised platform sounds amazing !! Alex & Darren's Manhattan 23 Ormeau Ridge Follow my build = viewtopic.php?t=80441 Thank you Alex. The mudroom will be a playroom and store will be a study room..

My brick cost me only $3500 for a 32 squares house... I sent an email asking for the variations as I haven't received them yet and it's been 6 weeks, I've been told early next week I should have them but she did tell me the price of the bricks $3370. Just gotta get the rest of the variations to find where this fits in the budget...

Re: RegVic's first build - Custom plan - Local builder 98Jul 14, 2016 7:17 pm Fantastic news, congratulations Building with Simonds in S.A Re: RegVic's first build - Custom plan - Local builder 99Jul 14, 2016 8:41 pm Will definitely be following along. Congratulations on the progress so far. I have a question... as your house design is a custom one, is it much more pricey than a standard design? I'm not sure where Hotondo sit in terms of price points so it'd be interesting to know Re: RegVic's first build - Custom plan - Local builder 100Jul 14, 2016 10:31 pm andyboiii Will definitely be following along. Congratulations on the progress so far. I have a question... as your house design is a custom one, is it much more pricey than a standard design? I'm not sure where Hotondo sit in terms of price points so it'd be interesting to know That's what I used to think....but the builder took the base price of one of their comparable plan.... He said the only difference will be draftsman fee (around $500)...spent a couple of days with the draftsman to create the floorplan.... but the good thing is Hotondo didn't charge me a penny... Not sure about the other builders though... Ask for references and speak to them. If they are defensive or try to avoid the request, walk. 1 74701 I would never build with Fowler homes.
