Sorry, what I mean is the floor to ceiling height. Normally in Sydney it's 2.4M, depending on council you can increase that to 2.7M or even up to 3M... Re: 2nd Storey inclusions 16Aug 16, 2008 8:47 pm I get you, so we will have a finished ceiling height of 2.743m which is 32c.
No restrictions here for min or max, just that with the height it costs more the higher you go. At this stage we have blown the budget out of the water so thats the first thing to stay at normal price. Re: 2nd Storey inclusions 17Aug 16, 2008 9:08 pm gweluphome With a concrete slab between floors do you still think its important to have sound insulation. I am thinking we build 2nd storues different here in the west. I'm interested in this too, as we will have our rumpus room below our formal lounge...hmmmmm? We have a block of flats here and they are 2 up and 2 down. The noise hardly travels at all between the flats on the same level, but you can hear everything from the flat above or below and this is a concrete slab! Now, I'm not sure if the sound is travelling through the slab or through the wall cavities But I definitely do not want this sort of thing in our new house, so does anyone have any other thoughts on this???

I think you probably looking at a few thousand dollar depends on the size of your house. And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years. Thanks. There are plenty of builders around my suburb.
