Re: Snapshot of our OB project... 17Jan 22, 2015 2:32 pm JB1 Is the ultrafloor on the ground floor or first floor? Nice house orientation, however my only concern is the number of west facing windows. Hi JB1, The Ultrafloor is for the ground floor. Should have some photos next week to add shortly of this. Its part of the build i'm most looking forward to seeing as it's so different. Re: the west side windows we've chosen to use a 6.38mm comfort plus glass in all the lower windows on the west side and a 6.38mm translucent glass on the upper windows west side. They are windows of formal rooms (unlikely to be used) and bathrooms. Fortunately/ unfortunately we also have a 2 storey on the west side of us that is likely to block the sun from some of these. Our current house has the most enormous windows that face west. It gets so hot you cant touch them. Time will tell how it all works out for us I guess! Re: Snapshot of our OB project...Subfloor 19Jan 22, 2015 3:35 pm So the subfloor brickwork for the house is finally completed. Garage isn't started yet as it is having its infill slab laid later on in the build. We went with a solid dry pressed mowbray blue brick, white sand and off white cement. Also used quite a number of pallets of commons in the areas below ground or where they won't be seen. At almost 4 times the price and twice as heavy, of the commons, I don't want to waste the Mowbray blue bricks. Bricklayers have done a marvelous job.
Onwards and upwards, as they say. In our case literally! And of course photos or it didn't happen!

Re: Snapshot of our OB project... 20Jan 22, 2015 3:42 pm I've only got one West facing windows in my current place near the staircase, and I think that's one too many! lol I had it tinted because was got so hot. I thought the photo's of the ultrafloor was your house! my bad! What's the reason to use ultrafloor compared to yellowtongue (and insulation underneath)? Insulation properties? I love houses on stumps, I'll never build on a slab again. Hi all, We are looking to build a new two storey house in western Sydney. Can anyone recommend a smallish builder to go with?
