Hi there,
We've just paid our initial deposit after preparing our quote for our new home build and there are still a lot of unknown costs that i think won't get…

Gotcha, so its definitely not suitable for a project home?

Wow.... So does the average buyer handle this? I'm in Brisbane and most blocks have some sloping, particularly in my area Wavell Heights/Chermside.
Is there some alternative options that would make…

The land is being purchased privately, separate to the builder. I'm trying to get as much info out of the builder to make a decision on whether I should purchase…

Hey mate, so I haven't had a survey report done of any kind.
From the backyard it slopes downwards towards the road. Anything else I can give u?

Hi guys,
I'm considering purchasing a block of land which has an approximate 3m fall from top to bottom of the block, sloping downwards from the back of the yard (approx…

Hi, that would be fantastic! I've taken a look at a couple of the blogs on here, but that would be terrific if you could share some info from the…

Sorry I should clarify, when I say enclose, I obviously don't mean a completed project, just the walls. What would this set me back?

Thanks for your reply! Yeah I am thinking about calling them to see if they'll book me in for a proper sit-down quote. What I've just discovered is that the…

Hi there,
Currently weighing up the costs of building vs renovating a lowset postwar home.
I've tried Googling some price estimates for raising a house, and it seems as though this is…

Hello all!
My wife and I are in the process of deciding whether we want to build a house or renovate an existing property. We have been leaning towards the new…

Any chance you know the brand of those cheapies?

Yep that'd do it, just seems very expensive for what it is. I need 3 of the bad boys.
