Not quite measured from the footpath.. But close.
Most 2 storeys being built probably don't have 6m walls.. 5m maybe? From memory between 1.2-1.5 is the setback for those depending on…

PCQ = pre contract quotation.

Quality costs money quite simply. If you want better trades etc, they get paid more to keep them on their jobs.
I wouldn't be saying that DAH is the most expensive…

My bro-in-law is a sparky and does this sort of stuff. (works for himself as well).
Does a lot of LED lately too if that helps. Feel free to PM me…

Possibly still in the scheduling stage. Also with the weather that we are experiencing lately, a lot of the slabs that were booked up might of been delayed - having…

Lots of variables that are not written here.
Have you done prestart? Do you have a building permit? etc.
From signing up with a builder it could take from 3 months to…

Is that including energy assessments and certified engineers details? Seems a bit on the steep side to me.

When you selected the second option, did the plan state that the crossover was to the builders specifications, or to the council's specifications? That one word makes a big difference.…

Is it the 2 rooms at the back?
I guess if you needed the extra room you could just push the back walls out a bit further maybe?
An easy way to…

Looks pretty cool with all those trusses there

Besides feeling rushed, is there any other reason to be changing?
Provided you haven't signed a deposit you should be able to get out of it.

Did they give you a reason?
Quite often a sales rep might of over promised things, and it turns out that the house doesnt fit, or they drew it incorrectly and…

Not quite. Lorimer were always owned by the blueprint/ hgwa group, just a massive downsize, still a concern for anyone who was considering them though.
