I've followed homeone for a long time, although I only signed up recently. I've always wanted to build a house and am finally getting a chance
Cheers,

Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Custom build with GJ Gardner VIC 2Nov 06, 2018 1:59 pm Hello, I do like the plans! It seems to cover all your requirements while being simple (so hopefully less costly to build!). I think a lot of it has to do with your rear to North block, which makes everything that much easier . Definitely go with double glazing, benefits will be worth it! We would also have the included underfloor heating in our design if it was single storey. Such a lovely gentle warmth. Re: Custom build with GJ Gardner VIC 3Nov 07, 2018 6:37 pm Thanks. I’m hoping the simple design is a bit cheaper, giving me more money for the extras i want. I’m looking at radiators for the hystonic heating, rather than underfloor heating. With the cathedral ceiling i have read that hydronic heating is a better option. Paid the remainder of my deposit today...still doesn’t seem real though. The hole in my account is real though! Re: Custom build with GJ Gardner VIC 5Nov 08, 2018 10:57 am Thanks. No kids here, but i agree a 4th bedroom helps with resale. I had intended to put cupboards in that room, just didn’t put then in the plan. I’ll likely put then on the wall that backs onto the lounge, meaning that part of the house can still be closed off. I'd get the gutters to match your roof and pipes to match the paint - otherwise they become a feature. Nice pick with the paint colours! 1 34823 6 56161 Congrats.
