Hi Paul
I've had bottle gas at a few different places, but went onto plumbed natural gas at my last house so my figures are a little rusty, but that seems…

Thanks! Doesn't seem like there are many Clarendon builds on here in QLD at the moment, so it's good to be able to follow another one
I think it will -…

I've tweaked the design a little as you can see below - flipping the shower/toilet in the ensuite. This makes for a bigger shower and seems to open the space…

This is the plan as things currently stand. We deleted the downstairs study to make a larger WIP and laundry; pushed the rear wall back 0.5m and shrunk the bench…

This is the original Madison 35. Our was flipped so we could zero line. It also meant the living areas were protected from the western sun.

This post is a bit long, but follows our house design selection. If you want to get to the plans, they start at the 3rd post.
My wife and I previously…

We’re building the Madison 35 with Clarendon Homes in Brisbane. After reading seemingly every building thread on homeone I decided it was about time to start one of our own!
…

I think that's what everyone's been talking about above - you'd need to rebate the door tracks, and then either have your alfresco slab at the same height as your…

Hi Catgee
The design looks pretty good. How important is the toilet door in the ensuite?
This comes down to my own preferences, but I'd go for a bigger shower rather than…

Is that to help you pick colours/fittings etc?
Are you going to browse through the studio before your appointment or do it all on the day?

My pleasure!
If it were me, then for sure my preference would be to make the porch pole thicker - i think those skinny wood posts…

I thought it'd be easier to paste your questions in and reply direct - I like the changes, though it's a taste thing I expect. Some would probably prefer a…

Is that a hanging rail above your laundry sink? Very clever idea! I'm going to steal it

I've just ordered my Preliminary Building Agreement, so i'd say I'm about 4-5 weeks behind you. The date estimations are ... daunting! 4 months just in admin stage sounds painful…

You could consider keeping the ensuite door in front of the toilet but have it open straight out onto the master instead of into the WIR. That way you could…

Thanks Tajana, very helpful!

I like what you've done with the master - making one entry into the large WIR really maximises that space.
We were looking at the Sheridan's, but our block (14m wide)…

It's looking very impressive! Getting pretty close to the end now

Massive journey, but you must be so relieved and proud at the end of all this. It looks amazing and I hope you enjoy it!

Hey! Very exciting for you, do you have a list of the modifications? Or a floor plan with them on it?

Agree
If those are the colours you like in those drawings, take that into your colour appointment to show the consultant. If it's something else, see if you can bring photos…

Thanks! We haven't picked a builder yet - we were pretty close with Clarendon, but after we went through the Rochedale displays (again) today Mrs got a bit nervous and…

It's been great following your build so far - not long to go now!
I've just bought in Thornlands, so will be going up nearby

Looking great!
I think the activity room in lieu of 5 bedrooms makes sense - plus it's a usable space, rather than a "large landing" at the top of the…

Any more pictures? Would be great to see how it's progressed!

That's really good to see you're well on you're way to a finished house! That admin stage would have felt never ending
We're looking to build - either in Rochedale or…

Thanks
I'm in brisbane- about 50km south of the city

Hi guys,
I'm after some suggestions on what plants would look nice with this piece of land.

I've just bought a new house, and this is what runs along the southern side…
