Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Sep 22, 2017 11:10 pm Hello Peeps,
We are building a Emperor 312 with Bold Living homes on our acre block located in sunny South East Queensland. Mr Tribe and I are pumped to have this second opportunity to build another home for our 5 kids and this time on acreage. We looked at so many builders and finally found Bold Living Homes and are really impressed with their speed, unique plans and flexibility. Drafting changes have been a breeze and I was lucky enough to do my colour selection remotely.

Its so hot out here. Mr Tribe has let me pick the colour scheme this time and it's kind of scary to be solely responsible, crossing fingers it turns out well.
