Fowler homes have some lovely homes, I've followed a few Fowler builds on instagram and they seem to have long processes and longer build times, but the quality is pretty…

I just checked Oswald homes, they appear to be a luxury builder,, of course it would be easy to like

Check out hall and hart.
I also hear lots of good things about King homes, not sure about there designs though

yes but you will need to encase the sewer (if its sewer easement), and that aint cheap...

We don't need any more light, it was purely a design feature that I love (yes it even cost more for additional beams). we have 3mx2400 windows on either side…

Alex I think the point of larger windows is to allow natural light in, not to look at the top of the window!
Here’s our ‘Ugly’ transom window with 3.3m…

MBX3, there is no way you will build a custom design for the same price as a standard design, otherwise everyone would do it!!
You need to consider things like roof…

We used 100mm NRG panel, it has a mesh (?fibreglass) that is placed with the first coat of base render, providing more strength. Then they did an undercoat then…

Project builders will still be cheaper than a full custom build, yes they get you with all the mark ups, but my point was that for 320k, you wont get…

I think for that budget you need to look at project homes, many will customise a plan for you. Sorry no idea of who as I’m in nsw, but just…

While having the sleepers benefit you, it would mean the fence will be much higher on their side, probably blocking natural light etc...you always need to consider both sides of…

Haha! Not sure anyone needs a 10m theatre.. 5.5m will be fine, we have two sets of 4 leather recliners from our last house, so they will go fit nicely,…

Thanks Michelle,
We decided to go with Domino we will have hints of domino throughout the house. Our kitchen is in production and hoping will look similar to this!

Lucky you!

They look like they are a mix of recycled browns and reds. We’ve used recycled browns, but we had three options, recycled browns, recycled reds or mixed. They pretty much…

Our bar is a work in progress but will basically be from left to right, sink, double cupboard, bar fridge (we’ve bought the coco cola fridge) we originally had some…

We are building a bar off our theatre room, mainly because it was leftover space that we wanted to make useful. Our joiner is custom making the bar area and…

State, location?? Budget?? Size??

Hall and hart bought out their display homes and their copyright to plans, not sure if Alkira completely folded after they sold.

Engineered timber will be one of th most expensive options, so definitely do it afterwards, in regards to porcelain tiles, most builders make a lot of money on tile upgrades,…

The average time from initial deposit to site start would be 6-9 months, start looking now!!!

Ive been around here for a while, built in 2011/12 with a build thread here, so I guess i know how things work!
This build I’m mostly on instagram, as Homeone…

It seems OKL and SR have come to play on Homeone, so nice to see you both here, your expertise in helping others design their homes will be well received.
Cheers…

Depends on your situation, if you’ve got three kids or planning on having in the future I’d leave it as 3 similar sized bedrooms. If this is your forever home…

I also looked at Brolen homes I think they build a nice home, small builder.
But after following over a thousand builds on insta I would definitely look first to King…
