Building at Bardia - New Breeze

wentworth33 · May 27, 2017 12:32 am

Hi,

I am new on this site. I am wondering whether there are anyone building at New Breeze Bardia ?

Have your land registered yet ?

amiarm · May 28, 2017 12:31 pm

We are building at Bardia as well. There is no date of land rego yet but hoping to have settlement of release 1 by Aug this year

wentworth33 · May 28, 2017 10:40 pm

I just heard the rego is delayed by at least 2-3 months. The first initial scheduled on April 2017 is not even registered yet. It is expected to be registered on July 2017.

Have you pick a builder yet ? What builder do you use ?

amiarm · May 29, 2017 10:34 am

I spoke to sales office and they confirmed rel1 will be reg in the month of July.
I am getting tender from two builders ( Clarendon and Blue Tongue) for a single story house. I will finalise builder by end of next month.

wentworth33 · May 29, 2017 5:59 pm

I have chose Clarendon as my builder and currently waiting for the land to be registered, which seems to be months away now.

My land is on the current Macdonald Road.

What is your original registration scheduled ? Are you on the first release ?

You mean to say your land is on new McDonald road built by new breeze?
Yes, I'm in release one and my lot is on Damascus street.

wentworth33 · May 30, 2017 5:57 pm

My land is on the existing Macdonald road. I am on Lot 5014 just couple block behind you.

You are on the same block with mine.

I am on Release one, but it has different registration date. I think your land should be registered by July.

Let me know how you go and which builder you use and the progress.

amiarm · May 30, 2017 8:41 pm

Yes my land most likely will be registered in July though my DA has not moved yet.

Looking at timelines your lot probably get registered in Nov this year.

wentworth33 · May 30, 2017 8:54 pm

Hopefully its registered on time, otherwise I have to pay penalty from builder.

Btw... if u havent pick builder, Fyi : (i guess you already know it, but I put it anyway for others)
- ask the builder to use CDC to certify your plan
- your land size is 375sqm, means you can build up to 270sqm building.

amiarm · May 30, 2017 9:16 pm

es, my plan is to get thru CDC.
As I am building single story I can only cover 55% site area - 205sqm for my 375sqm lot.
I had some requirements in my dream home so went with custom design.

Have a look at my design it is still a draft.

Hey wentworth33, I found this thread on google & wanted to quickly ask you as I have been looking at buying in Bardia for a while.

Is it worth holding out & buying a completed house & land or is it cheaper to buy land & build yourself?

I have seen several articles online, such as the official New Breeze website & a few articles on authority sites discussing New Breeze at Bardia but it didn't answer my question.

I would appreciate a response, looking at a 4/2/2 configuration less than 800m from the station.

If you dont mind hassle, buying land and build yourself is a lot cheaper compare to :
- house and land package
- ready new house
PS: Excluding second hand house

If you are looking to buy 4/2/2 configuration, the cost is depend on :
- double or single storey.
- luxury or standard package

but if you are looking for 800m from the station, New Breeze bardia is the best place for you.

New Breeze bardia will be very close to new Towncentre then Station, so depending on your Lot location.
Once you are at Towncentre, it will only takes 5 minutes to station, and I dont think its gonna be far for anyone, especially there are plenty shops around.

As far as I know, new breeze is going to release another lot soon and its not far from existing macdonald road.

Hope this answer your queries.

You have a very nice serious WIR and its very nice design. I love it.

If you dont mind, my opinion on your design is as follow:
- Try to make the Bed 2 / 3 Robe next to each other, this is to remove the gap between the robe. Unless, you are planning to put Water tank or AC unit in between the robe wall. This is to maximise the land and remove the gap to avoid undetected items in between the wall.
- I dont know the size of Bed 4 and Living, but, if its me, I will swap the location of Bed 4 and Living. Why ? I, personally, doesnt allow kids bedroom at the front, to avoid them running away undetected when they are teenager.
- To maximise the building size, I will convert the Alfresco into Meals / Family room. I will build my own pergola and slab at the back at later stage. (assuming there are more land at the back). Why ? Adding inside building required council approval.

Thats my opinion, but, your design itself its very nice as it is

Anyway, I am building with clarendon and the floor plan can be found below

amiarm · May 31, 2017 12:02 am

After seeing number of display homes I have drafted this custom plan to accommodate our requirements:
- Large WIR ( current design has 7.6m of WIR)
- Large ensuite shower recess and 2m double vanity
- Microwave and oven tower in Kitchen
- WIP

Thanks for your suggestions, I will discuss robe location with the builder.

Our living is narrow, we planning to put TV unit on Garage wall so it has to be there after bed 4.

I wish I could get alfresco under family/meals but that will exceed 55% of the site coverage.

I had a look at your design and it is a massive house. There are so many things you can change to suit your requirements.

wentworth33 · May 31, 2017 1:08 am

Sorry, one more thing, for your garage door to the foyer, why not open into the garage (unless if your garage is small) ? You may accidentally hit someone if you open the garage door to the foyer.
On the other hand, it will be great if you check the direction of the sun throughout the day. It is recommended to light your meals / family room during the day as it will makes your house brighter.

Anyway, the Wentworth 33 doesnt fit my land and I have to reduce it by converting the "Family Room" into Alfresco due to Council requirement. Any land under 450sqm only allowed to have 270sqm max. The other changes I made on this design is to swap the kitchen position as according to Fengshui, Top floor bathroom is not allowed to be on top of Kitchen. Other than that, I dont really modify the design as its already meet our requirements.

My goal is to maximise the building allowance by council, so that I dont need to lodge another application to council myself if I want to extend it. But, whether I used the rooms or not, its a different story. I may not use all the rooms.

amiarm · May 31, 2017 11:20 am

I have discussed with builder already to move door to the garage end and open it to the garage side.

Family/Meals/Alfresco facing North-East so I have already considered aspect thing

wentworth33 · May 31, 2017 11:41 am

Nice. Your house is gonna be perfect and heaven to you and your family.

Have you decided which builder to go?

amiarm · May 31, 2017 12:55 pm

wentworth33 · Jun 02, 2017 12:44 am
