Well we finally took the plunge and set out to building Perth. Got our block of land in Woodlands and then started the task offing our builder. We spoke to a number of two storey builders and then narrowed it down to Webb & Browne - Neave, Peter Stannard, APG and Don russell homes.
At the outset we liked PSH plan of Cape mill and when our sales consultant showed us the Landing we fell head over heels.
It had all the stuff we wanted:-
Downstairs guest with Ensuite
Small footprint - leaving back and side yard.
Great quality specs
Our main issues were cost of retaining with PS was significantly higher because garage was kissing the fence. $18000 versus $5000

This plan is similar to the PSH display at Waterford. It creates a feeling of space when you walk in. We are using our Retreat upstairs as Media Room. And planning to use minimalistic furnishing in the Lounge. 22 Apr 2015 56 WA Loyal Member Re: Peter Stannard build The Landing 10May 05, 2015 11:53 am  chesterandcoVery exciting.

Re: Peter Stannard build The Landing 13May 05, 2015 12:23 pm Hi, We are building in Floreat on a 926sqm block so we have some room to play with. We will stretch the house out a bit but the facade will stay the same. We are working on the plans today with PSH. I will post when we get a revised copy. Very excited for you. Re: Peter Stannard build The Landing 14May 05, 2015 1:17 pm Upper floor looks great, I like your dressing room and how large your bathroom is, only thing I would have done differently for bathroom and ensuite is an enclosed toilet but it wouldn't really work with your current layout. WIR to each room is great too.

WIR to each room is great too. Archetto thanks for that. We had an enclosed toilet in the initial plan but we took it out as we went for a hobless and doorless shower with a small tiled recess for holding soap and shampoo etc.. Once we took the glass out, the extra cost only came to $1000 per shower. And we have three showers!! 06 Feb 2015 17 VIC Junior Member Re: Peter Stannard build The Landing 16May 07, 2015 8:33 am vasqla Jul_Kirthanks , will be following this thread.

We are building in Baldivis (tuart ridge) eventually. 22 Apr 2015 56 WA Loyal Member Re: Peter Stannard build The Landing 17May 08, 2015 7:00 pm Yeah we settle on our block in 4 days. Hopefully our final plans will be drawn up soon. Spoke to electrics and home entertainment people. Also spoke to a few air conditioning people asking for quotes. 30 Jun 2015 7 WA Junior Member Re: Peter Stannard build The Landing 18Jun 30, 2015 10:55 pm We have started building the first Cape Mill home in WA. Pad is down, plumbing/sewers in and bricklaying just about to start. Happy to answer any questions on the PSH process up to now. 05 May 2015 4 WA New Poster Re: Peter Stannard build The Landing 19Jun 30, 2015 11:25 pm Can I just ask how long the process was from pre start to slab? Also did you go with Armani air conditioning for climate control? We are just a bit unsure as other AC providers have given us quotes and waiting for a figure from Armani and not sure which way to go. Pre start is on Friday. Re: Peter Stannard build The Landing 20Jul 01, 2015 4:24 pm Hi Remote Traveller, Where are you building? Did you have many changes to the design? Thanks! Consider modular or pre fabricated builders. You are then able to better view their work inside their factory. A factory build has advantages where they are not subject to… 5 136982 2 82128  1 154715  |
