Hi there
Moving out of Rocky down to the beach area (no seaviews though, just the wonderful breezes)
Have designed our own house and now just in the process of looking at quotes to build.
Have gone over budget by .. well.. A LOT! Had no idea how much it was to build.
Have looked through these forums and found a lot of great advice especially when we were in design stage with the draftie.
Have designed a 287m2 home on our 1 acre lot (house is long across the top of the block to take advantage or rural views and breezes.) It was originally over 300m2 but budget was blown and rooms had to be cut back. We are left with a functional house with kids up one end and our bedroom/ensuite/wir/media room up our end with communal living in the middle. just the way we like it
Cheers
Leece
