You have made some great choices to go with it Re: Modified Noosa 26 Build -Coral Homes 18Nov 27, 2016 9:17 am cyclone22 Hi everyone, We have a triangular 1/2acre block which is narrow at the front –front facing North, as shown in the map. We are currently thinking of building Noosa 26 with modifications with Coral homes in this block. We have done some modifications to the actual plan and would much appreciate any advice in improving the plan. 1. Increased the lounge length to 5000 from 4380-planning to make it a media room. 2. Increased the activity area by pushing the side wall back to be inline with the side wall of the house 3. Swap master bedroom with bedroom 3 -We have a covenant with trees at the back, so we thought if we have master bedroom next to outdoor living area it might obstruct the view. Move the en-suite of master bedroom, close to the door from its original position, therefore getting the masterbed next to the window ,for a better view. Removed the WIR and added two robes to save space. We want to have a separate toilet with a door to master suite as you can see! 4. We are planning to have the rooms on the east side, lounge,kitchen on the west, hoping to keep the rooms cooler during daytime. This is our first build and we are clueless to everything regarding building a house-and have learned a lot within the past 2 weeks! Any ideas on a better positioning of the en suite of master bedroom, while maintaining the view from the masterbed or any ideas to improve the house plan would be much appreciated. Regarding positioning of the house in the land, any suggestions regarding distance from the side, I was thinking about 3m from the straight side, so that the living areas are not too close to the fence, hoping we have enough space on the other side in case we need to get a truck to the back of the house. Thanks in advance!

Re: Modified Noosa 26 Build -Coral Homes 19Mar 05, 2017 2:59 pm Sorry Dougang287 for delay in reply, somehow I have missed the msg, extra for tiles for a 93m2 was 1390 + labour cost of 2669. Because these are rectified tiles it costs more to for labour than the actual tile costs. At the time we were building there was an offer of tiles and carpets included in the packages but that that was the basic range . As Altoash was not in base range we had to pay extra. Hope this helps. Have you started your build? Re: Modified Noosa 26 Build -Coral Homes 20Mar 05, 2017 4:20 pm Following along, really like the modifications you've made to the plan GJ Gardner Modified Coolum 277 viewtopic.php?t=83643 Ask the council if there is a chance of getting build over easement exemption. Sometimes easements are unused and 24cm is not all that much. Good luck. And yes any builder… 2 13775 In Qld it is a requirement that a builder must have a cost breakdown, for building a home to the same specification, with the same inclusions and the same finish. So ask… 1 4352 Thank you so much everyone. This all makes a lot of sense. I guess when you talk to a builder who butters up everything to look very polished, you get to start believing… 7 17616 |
