You’ll find they’re not liable, they’ll have a clause saying that if they can’t see it, they’re not liable or something like that..

WE have tiles down first (including under kitchen bench etc) then skirting, definitely looks better and neater, but it is more expensive as the whole floor is tiled, not just…

Getting ready for the slab dance

Nomads, I haven’t seen Jodge around for many years. I can try and contact her for you.
Another idea is go over to the houzz.com.au forum there are a couple of…

Which branch of GJG are you building with SBD14?

Definitely two, one on each side.
We have a similar size house with a small one on one side, feeding our daughters ensuite and downstairs bathroom, and a second larger one…

Ive been watching from the sidelines...Congratulations!!

Oh wow, maybe I need to move things along with my current builder, we are taking our time currently.
I’m just not sure if I should pay the initial deposit with…

My one concern with GJG is having to use Beaumont tiles due to outrageous costs for upgrades etc
We dealt with them briefly on our last build, and Ive vowed never…

Selections look good so far!
Is your land registered yet?
Ive just had a conversation with GJ Gardner in Dural, Sydney, we like one of their plans, just wanting a back up…

What about checking your building plans? They should have distance from house to boundary marked, eg 900mm, then a quick tape measure between your house and the end of your…

Garages are traditionally always built one step lower than the house.
Why are you worried about flooding? Better that you only flood the garage than the whole house!!

Agree with Hillsbuild, I’m not sure there is any benefit having the walkways, either extend bedrooms out or increase width of void.

Probably more options for a single storey.
Also depends on budget.
Plenty of builders out there that will modify there plans, or some project builders do custom designs as well (most likely…

What state are you building?
Of course there’s plenty of plans available, depending on width you could look at acreage type homes.
Many builders web sites have the capacity to narrow down…

Hi Travis!
I’m back here again also, put a deposit on land but still in early stages. Haven’t started a thread yet, still waiting for the stars to align....however H1 seems…

Looks great!
We are currently in Kellyville (built 6 years ago, border of Bella vista) love the proximity but we don’t need to go into the CBD.
Built in Baulkham…

Plans look great hillsbuild!
Hopefully things will get moving soon!!

Thanks Manhattan52,
Had a look not sure what builder it is, nevertheless we have found a builder that we are very happy with!

I believe that you must have a fire rated wall between main house and granny flat, regardless. Certainly the case in NSW

Plan looks awesome!

This void is about 2.5-3 meters wide, and still looks a little out of proportion, yours will be considerably smaller at the back. Is that the look you’re after?

Sorry not loving the front void at all, will be like a tall tunnel, I don’t think it will create the feeling of space that you’re after at all. We…

Do you have a price estimate per sqm for the hydronic heating? We are also looking at putting it in our new build...

Depending on size of house and single or double, you would probably add on between 80-100k for extras (site costs basix requirements etc) this would give you some leeway to…

Where are you building??
Do searches here for builders you are considering. Look for plans you like, go talk to the builders, get ideas on cost. If $430 is your max…

Yes I think there’s is definitely a premium in Sydney, our custom build is definitely over the $2000sqm

For inspiration I’d go to houzz, heaps of photos of every room, facade etc.
In regards to meowys comment, I’m not sure they are in Sydney, if you want a full…

Plan looks fantastic,
Looking forward to seeing your colour selection!

Hi Ligongl,
I personally don’t like walking through a WIR to get to the ensuite, especially if you don’t have a door.
Could you rotate the ensuite 90 degrees and have the…
