Good luck with the rest of the build! Any chance of starting a thread or a blog (as mentioned, haven't see a designer build yet :shock: )? My signature is distracting people from my wise posts ... Re: Cost per square metre - architect designed home in Melbo 15Aug 11, 2010 12:33 am Thanks! Yeah maybe we'll do a thread when things get more interesting! Re: Cost per square metre - architect designed home in Melbo 16Aug 11, 2010 6:42 am Lex Yep, more than double or thereabouts ... How are you finding the building experience? How far are you into the build? Do you have a single point of contact and do you have access to the house at any time (so you can inspect work and demand fixes etc.)? I don't think I've seen an 'architect' designed thread (maybe I wasn't aware of it ) ... so can't compare the practices ... Hi Lex There are several architect designed threads in homeone but they were probably a year ago. My house is one of those as well as Mek, ladyice (I think) and at the moment the most stunning home of Michelle (chelle) in Tasmania. I know there are many more here, just cant think of them so early in the morning. Hopefully somebody can find you the links.

See, that's what I meant by 'not aware' - I think I wasn't paying attention to this "little detail" long time ago when I was walking thru your blog ... thanks for pointing that out and for the other info - that house in the link is spectacular!! I'm also more interested to learn about the relationship, "rules" and the building process itself, the paper-ology (what kind of contracts etc), builder's admin etc. because ATM I pretty much know what to expect from a project builder, but all these other-than-the-house-itself things are also a major factor. If clients are treated and de-powered in a similar way like with some project builds, then it wouldn't be good, especially considering the 2- or 3-fold price.
