Hi guys,
I wanted to use this thread to share our house building process and hopefully get some of our questions answered along the way. This is the first time my partner and myself have built a house so there is plenty to ask.
We are a young couple 21 and 23 who don't plan on having any children for a few years, we want this to be our investment property so we have kept this fairly standard and cost efficient. The block of land is 780 sqm in size and the house is approx 199 sqm.
