Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Nov 28, 2018 7:12 am Hi Guys, I need some advice on what areas are covered in driveway and path on a new construction plan. Currently building with Simonds in VIC and my plan states concrete for driveway and paths. I was of the understanding that Path includes the Porch area ( highlighted below) to my residence. Keen to know if this is not the case as I now have a 220mm stepdown to my entrance.

But I don't know that; just going off the diagram.
