Seriously though, it doesn’t feel like 9 metres. Re: Building an Aegean230 with Mainvue. 223Dec 10, 2017 10:58 pm Our block is about 540m2 with 14.5m front, 17m rear and 35.31m side. I think the balcony has consumed a huge amount of space plus also taking into account the 4m setback. Re: Building an Aegean230 with Mainvue. 224Dec 10, 2017 11:02 pm Our balcony is about 1.8m deep so if we didn’t have that our backyard would be a lot longer. But considering the views we’ll have and 3 ovals + 4 tennis courts to our immediate west. I think I can sacrifice a few metres of backyard.

Oh - 1.8 metres balcony - we were not allowed 1.7 and had to have only 1.5 as per council requirements- 4 metres setback and max distance after that was 5.5 metres and so our balcony was made only 1.5 follow my build Arden homes Votivo 37 iin south east: https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=88622 Re: Building an Aegean230 with Mainvue. 226Dec 11, 2017 5:20 am It's exciting to see the house coming together. Hopefully you'll have you slab in by the end of the week. Do you have a waffle or raft slab going in? This looks like a waffle Re: Building an Aegean230 with Mainvue. 227Dec 11, 2017 1:31 pm Rachael13 It's exciting to see the house coming together. Hopefully you'll have you slab in by the end of the week. Do you have a waffle or raft slab going in? This looks like a waffle It will be a waffle with a deepened edge beam at the front. The pour date I’ve been told by the SS is next Monday the 18th than nothing as everyone will be one their Xmas break. Re: Building an Aegean230 with Mainvue. 228Dec 11, 2017 6:16 pm Perfect timing for the slab pour and it can then cure. They should be back after Xmas and straight into the frame.

It only took 1 week to get from temp fence to a slab and they did a good job. On the Darbecca report they commented on a well prepared slab and there was only 2 minor issues that were sorted on site by the Concretor so money well spent.

It is certainly looking better than the slab we got - your porch is also way bigger - our porch is only around 2700 - the other difference since our slab width is smaller compared to the study and theatre of Aeg230 - it is narrower - we decided to get a slightly bigger living/dining but council would only allow 28cm increase follow my build Arden homes Votivo 37 iin south east: https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=88622 Re: Building an Aegean230 with Mainvue. 231Dec 13, 2017 11:03 am pEast firsttime_homies1401 Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Thanks Henley for the early Xmas present.

They wouldn’t let us build right on the boundary because we share a crossover. At least they didn’t make us frost any of our windows upstairs. Unfortunately with the bigger porch means a bigger deck I have to build. Hopefully you get your frame first thing in the new year.

Frame should go up very quickly and you'll see the size of the house. Happy building. Re: Building an Aegean230 with Mainvue. 234Jan 10, 2018 8:17 pm Rachael13 firsttime_homies1401 Very nice.

Thanks Rachael, It’s so different seeing walls instead of a slab. You really get a feel for the size of each room rather than lines on the slab. Re: Building an Aegean230 with Mainvue. 236Jan 10, 2018 9:21 pm That’s good progress - and even it looks big just like 430 follow my build Arden homes Votivo 37 iin south east: https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=88622 Re: Building an Aegean230 with Mainvue. 237Jan 11, 2018 5:29 am Firsttime - I can't wait to see your dining and lounge windows as we reduced our to meet 6 star energy ratings. Yours were standard - weren't they? Re: Building an Aegean230 with Mainvue. 238Jan 11, 2018 7:05 am pEast That’s good progress - and even it looks big just like 430 Thanks pEast, I’m happy with the size of the house but the boss is still questioning why we didn’t get the 430 when we could afford it. Getting the 430 would have meant the backyard reducing in size from 8m to 5m. Higher site cost, more $$$ on furnishing, more cleaning........ How is your build going? Any update on when your framer is back from overseas? Have you contacted your SS for an update?

Yours were standard - weren't they? Yep, all our windows are standard and increased slightly to match the higher ceiling. We were lucky we also don’t have to frost any windows. I like the look of your windows as you won’t have to spend to much on window furnishing and they are still in proportion to the dining and living area.

Compared to price - u may have used that difference on a lot of upgrades to suit anyway.
