Can't you set that room up as a separate zone in your ducted system? Then you can switch off the zone if you're using the air con heater in the…

I understand your frustration having recently just built, my recommendation is to stay focused during this planning and design phase, and seek out multiple experts…

I think it depends on which wall it is and how much sun you get on that side. If it's Eastern wall, you're going to get morning sun and if…

Better off ensuring there's sufficient insulation in walls, ceilings and roofs. External walls are usually insulated by default but internal walls aren't, unless your builder has included it or you've…

Why don't you install the gate at the beginning of your property? You won't need front property's approval. I'm suggesting this because it appears he doesn't want a gate. If…

Hi indo26slate did you solve this gap issue? I'm in the same boat.

I believe it is at least 1.5m, but I don't have a standard to reference for this. It has to do with the distance between water, electrical and gas connection…

Thanks. I'm also quite interested in Ikea sliding blinds for my large 3m wide sliding doors. IKEA seem quite reasonably priced. Anyone here used them and have feedback to share?

I'm keen to know more about this too. Anyone?

No problem. Also, if you're going independent, try to establish a good relationship with your builder, not just purely business-like. It helps to ease the process. Occasionally, they might also…

Hi Moe
Are you going with a large volume builder or an independent builder? Cost and flexibility vary widely between them, the latter usually offers more flexibility in designs and options,…

It looks like WIR2 and WIL are above the laundry so I'd be considering one of those to locate the top of the chute. Have you got a fixed location…

This depends on the material used for cladding. If its vinyl with a foam backing, you'll find it behaves like insulation and keeps the house cool in summer and warm…

There are a couple of options:
1) Remove the bulkhead and install a new bulkhead with the sliding track built into it. Needs to be robust enough to handle the weight…

Given the tile pattern, I'd suggest you keep the kickboard a plain colour. Either white, or the cabinet colour. If your tile did not have such a detailed pattern, I'd…

Hi poohbear, we're also building a Sahara and keen to see some landscaping ideas. Have you got pics of your front and back?…

Hey stayxtrue have you got any photos of your front yard and landscaping? We're also a building a Sahara in Brisbane and keen…

My guess is that they caulked the top edges to prevent water dripped down those sides as they're probably harder to clean, given the positioning. If your bathtub is moveable…

I'd love to know about this too. My build is nearly complete, and once the roof was up, I got my solar guy to come in and install the panels…

If you're in QLD, what usually happens is (a month or two before your lease expiry) your landlord or property manager issues you with a notice of lease expiry and…

I've just learnt that when Henley ran into trouble here in QLD, they renamed themselves to Plantation Homes (in QLD only, I believe). That explains why the designs are the…

Plantation Homes is a building company. They have a range of designs called Sahara, so I was asking if your house design is from them? I notice Henley also have…

Is this a Plantation Sahara design?

Have you decided where you're putting the server? Is your linen cupboard still too small to accommodate it? I'm thinking if you have a top shelf in the cupboard, you…

Congratulations on securing the land. Sounds like a good size. We have a similar sized plot here in QLD.
Your question is fairly open ended. What you probably need to do…

I'm doing something similar in my build but I have a double storey and I'm setting up the server rack and patch panel in the under stairs room. In your…

Have one or two fans on your server rack. That should be sufficient as your room space seems quite adequate. Just don't clutter up that room with other things as…

Definitely go 3 phase now for future proofing. We're building in Brisbane and we'll be having a combination of gas and electric appliances. The cost to upgrade from single phase…
