We've got a block the same size and we limited our sizes to designs with a max length of 21m to give us backyard. Or are you allowed quite a small frontage to make up for it? Re: Our build with New Generation Homes in Wandi 9Mar 01, 2014 8:05 pm TiredHalo Nice design. We've got a block the same size and we limited our sizes to designs with a max length of 21m to give us backyard. Or are you allowed quite a small frontage to make up for it? Hi there, our house is only 12.5 metres wide so we have a bit of backyard on the side... that was a good strategy Re: Our build with New Generation Homes in Wandi 10Mar 02, 2014 2:35 pm So glad to hear that your living areas will get some nice light facing north. You would be surprised at how many people either don't know where north is or don't really care. I think it is the single biggest thing you can do to ensure you have a comfy house. You don't need to be a slave to north but understanding where it is and how it will impact your house is really important. I wish you all the best for the build. Cheers, Jenny.

Jealous of your WIR size, would have loved a bigger one but the OH wouldn't sacrifice any of his alfresco space for it haha.

We are not sure if we will get the fast track thing (build time of less than 22 weeks), but they seem to build houses quickly... We do like the WIR! We like a big one, and we will get it fitted out after hand over We are very impressed with New Gen and what they offer, they have excellent specifications heh... we put so much thought into this house Re: Our build with New Generation Homes in Wandi 16Mar 04, 2014 11:23 pm tsmith one disappointment is that they aren't offering single course bricks as standard, Hmmm... that's a bit odd, I do remember when we were considering New Gen that the sales consultant mentioned that 1c or 2c bricks can be chosen at no extra cost. Re: Our build with New Generation Homes in Wandi 19Mar 12, 2014 2:26 pm That sucks... we got single course bricks as standard. But i have noticed looking at houses in our estate it seems like we are one of the only ones that have them so a lot of other builders must not offer them as standard. My sister built with Home Group and they didn't have them as standard. I guess that is because 2c bricks are considered 'fast walls' like the internal bricks so are probably cheaper to lay for brickies. Does it cost much to upgrade? We hired Darbecca to do every stage inspection, and I strongly recommend them to anyone that asks me. They were amazing.
