Hi, i have been watching everyone else's builds over the past 12 months and have now decided to put our new build up here for you all to watch the progress
After roughly 2 years looking for a pre-existing house to buy on 2000-4000m2, we bit the bullet and purchased a 3000m2 block.
We had been researching land the whole time we were looking, just incase, and we looked all over the north brisbane area. We knew where we wanted to be, just took us a while to find it.
We have progressed over the past 8 years starting with a townhouse close to the city on 110m2 to building a new house further out on 800m2
The house we built at suited us at the time, 4 bed, 2 bath, 3 car garage etc.. It was a 226m2 house and it was nicely appointed.
However, the build took a long time, from land purchase in September 2009 to building contract signed and block cut November 2009. Then plans finalised and submitted to council March 2010, slab poured July 2010 and finally hand-over February 2011.
During that time, our lives changed dramatically with the pregnancy and birth of our daughter before the house was even finished! This event effectively rendered our new house obsolete before we even started, it is a great home for a young couple but just not quite big enough or set out for a family and the back yard ,whilst being large, wasn't big enough for what we wanted, room to move, sheds and pools...
That brought us to the next logical step... Bigger land and bigger family orientated home...
In September 2013 we put a contract on a 3000m2 block selecting it for future growth and to be a perfect base for us for the next 10-20yrs.
The block settled on the 11th of November 2013....
