Cheers, Bruce Re: First time owner builder 17Dec 21, 2016 8:28 am Thanks N*31. I will definitely be relying on the engineers to advise and design the best option. It's with them now, primarily to do the OSD. I've raised the house 400mm so that I don't have to start cutting into rock. It will also bring the levels closer to that of the drive. I've done soundings around the existing house and it's mostly 800ish mm to rock in sandy soil. I guess I was looking for opinions so that if I'm given options of what to do, I have some ideas.

There is this reliable firm MJ Owner Build who provides self build kits since many people love to project manage their own home build similar to most of us in AU. There are awesome engineers who can help you accomplish your dream house. Give us the good news when your house is finally built.

I think about not much else but "the build". Final changes are being done this week, engineering and hydraulics done. I have to get a quantity surveyor to price it for council (and for myself) and then it's good to go to council. I think it was 2014 that I first started to design it and I'm itching to get it moving. 🤗 Can anyone give me any onfo on New Homes WA? Good or bad, hopefully good just need to know if my choice was good or not? Thanks ❤️ 0 8948 So it looks like we finally have some movement on site! Definitely later than expected, but I'll take any progress at this point. I'll drop by over the weekend to get… 5 27737 |
