AC leave this to the owner to deal with the hydraulic engineer. You have to pay for the design. Rainwater tank can be use for the purpose and will end up bigger capacitive tanks, My one is 10K litre sit on the backyard. Re: Building With AllCastle Homes 37Oct 26, 2017 1:43 pm Thanks L I don’t mind onsite if it frees up my side given we are going with CDC SO HAVE 2.6 meter side access. ( easier for pool if needed ) Will let you all know how I went later . Can you all share the company and cost for the hydraulic design and report ? AC RECOMMENDED EZE WHICH IS Not too bad for $2200. Stan Re: Building With AllCastle Homes 38Oct 26, 2017 2:03 pm Hydraulic Eng will need your house drawing and the pipe/storm water pipe location for the design. More money to pay for locating the pipes. I also have a 2.5m side access drive so also prefer to put the big water tank at backyard. You need to check if any sewer or water pipe run across your land and that limit where to put the tank.

Decisions decisions Stan Hi, yes we had the Easybuild package which included the higher ceilings. I think it's 2.6m. We have the double stacker doors in the back, but the height of those doors are standard. The other internal doors are higher. We also opted to go for the front door lower than the one that came with the package. The reason was that I didn't want the taller front door was because it was mainly made of glass. All the tall doors in their range were mainly glass. We got the solid timber door, same width, I think it's 2100 high but with the 4 glass panels in it. We used Ezy Hydraulic and I actually found him very good and very quick. Thankfully we didn't need the onsite dentention.

You need to check if any sewer or water pipe run across your land and that limit where to put the tank. We put our rainwater tank, hot water and airconditioning unit all on the same side. That way it freed up one side completely for us. We are lucky though as we have 2 metres on one side and over 3 metres on the other side. We had to come in 3 metres from one side as we are on a corner block and also required to have the side articulated which cost around another $4,000. Ask for references and speak to them.
