Very nice, congrats 👌🏻

You could contact THE UNDERCOVER ARCHITECT. Google her she is awesome but I think she doesn’t come cheaply, but you definitely get what you pay for with her. She definitely…

I can’t help on a builder but can relate to thoughts of selling your block. We too had a block with sensational views, nearly sold it several times but it…

Oh the irony 😂

Do you just haunt this site looking for an argument?
Here's a hint - you're not going to get one so go away and be a troll somewhere else.
Seriously, post the…

Reference?
You said in an earlier post that “+90% of kitchen rangehoods WOULD BE vented externally”.
So is that “would be” in that you just voicing an opinion, or should…

Some people aren’t cut out to go through the process of building. They’re better off buying an established home.

Post the plans here, a photo would be good too.

So your setback is what, 4.5m, maybe 5m back from the street that cars drive along? BS.

They won’t be from the curb. It’s probably a master plan of the estate before footpaths and roads are shown. Your 450m2 is yours, then there will be a footpath…

Mate got same issue. Not get solution from PHG.

Yeah so true nothing worse than cables running all over the house from too many ovens. Thanks

I agree that the proposed deal seems excessive, but end of the day they aren’t holding a gun to your head to sign up and I can’t see why everyone’s…

No.10 - plan garden. What? That should’ve been, at a minimum, sketched out long before the keys were handed over.

We visit 1-2 times a day and pretty well every night, but only live 200m away so pretty easy to walk around to check progress.
We also have an awesome…

Which way does it fall? If it falls from front to back I’d be more concerned with drainage and street appeal and would just avoid altogether.

Huh?
“We are planing a redesign of our frontyard, and we've come across an issue we had not been aware of.”
So you weren’t aware of the issue but you knew about…

So you never realised this when you bought it, wow?
Pretty simple solution really - you don’t own the land so don’t build anything on it, redesign the wall.

Definitely the first plan, the second plan the kitchen is facing away from the alfresco and just seems no connection to it.
Do you really need that 4th bedroom? If…

Can’t see the plan or anything you’ve tried to link/load......

The first floor plan I actually much prefer over the second, the problem now is others like the second better, so now you have doubts and if you weren’t already…

I’d be concerned with the dining space what a squeeze that will be with a dining table & 6 chairs....

Couldn’t have said it any better. Imagine a fort type cubby up there somewhere. Oh to be 5 years old again

400k budget for a KDR custom built 40 square home designed and overseen during construction by an architect. You won’t even get anything decent in that price bracket with the…

Again crude pic but gives an idea. You could have a larger vanity and/or shower or even enclose the toilet. I’d put the toilet where the shower is and enclose…

I’d definitely get rid of that second window at top of bedroom 1 and I’d reduce the size down to 4m which would give a bit more room to the…

Dining could be something like this

Something like this, crude but hopefully explains

I think for a retired couple or professional couple it would be great, but 2 kids also, most people would be looking to move into something bigger once a family…

Yeah ok probably can see why you’re in the predicament you find yourself in. Hope it all works out....
