Our DA ( first floor addition) was finally approved after 3 months’ waiting. And I got a call from my builder to ask me to sign the final contract with…

Hi Noel,
I am planning for a first floor addition as well. I am living in Ryde Area in Sydney.
The builder we are working with is Keystone Home Addition,…

thank you for sharing your experience mate, we are currently in the early stage of fist floor addition ( Sydney)
we have received an estimate ( not a quote yet)…

Flood zone will require raised floor level to 1 in 100 year flood level plus margin and that increase the drop edge beam and brick cost. Site access is also…

it is truly a shock Stan, they have to raise the building by around 1M，which will definitely make our house thieves' first choice also the idiot on that street......
Extend…

It is really a WOW, I may have to shop around the other builder now

They need raise the new house over 1 meter as we are in flood zone....100K site cost is really a shock

Out of budget now....

Just got our site cost quotation.....100K! Shock me down

it is amazing!!! u r truely a superman!

Hey all, i think what they charged to upgrade first floor from 2400 to 2590 is quite exaggerated! $8900, from my research, what they quoted last year is around $5000…

Hey Moji, just got quote today for the ceiling height, it is 4500 to upgrade ground floor from 2590 to 2700 and 8900 for first floor from 2400 to 2590…

Thanks for sharing, totally agree with your choice on AMP, 3 phases 63 amps will give you lots of flexibility to add extra appliances

I will probably go for R6 for ceiling and R2.5HD for both internal and external walls, as from the other thread, the worker mixed the insulation for internal and external…

Awesome man! I am thinking about BOSE 7.1 as well if I still get money left ; )

Thanks Miao, ACH will only put insulation in external walls and ceiling, did you add soundproof insulation in the internal walls?
My friend recommended me to upgrade the ceiling to R6,…

good spot on

your upgrade and addition price is quite reasonable, we are thinking about to upgrade the ceiling and walls as well, as we only get 1.5 for external wall, 3.5 for…

Here are some tips about the insulation, I checked ACH website, it looks like they will upgrade external stud wall to R2.0, and R3.5 to trussed roof ceiling areas…

By the way it is hard to trust product reviews and Google reviews, who know how many bloggers they use to raise up the star?
Clareton’s review is nearly 5…

Not quite sure about her, as most of us deals with David in Kellyville, he works in this industry over 30 years, very familiar with most council/CDC requirements.

exactly, despite the price, I especially like their design, no waste of rooms, it is quite spacious compares with the other companies.
By the way guys, got my flood level…

it is great you share that, will definitely think about upgrade the garage door ( from garage to dinning room)

Yes, they will upgrade the ground floor to 2.59 for free as it is included in the super infinite package.

quite dear.... in this case I will probably only upgrade the first floor to 2.59... and no ceiling fans as their installation is probably more expensive than getting a Dyson…

I see...Probably it will take longer in Ryde as well, may i know the extra you paid to upgrade 1st floor to 2.59 and did you upgrade the doors as…

Hi guys, just wondering which ceiling height you go for? easybuild super infinite upgrade package includes free Ground Floor upgrade from 2.4 to 2.59. First floor remains 2.4 (…

figure and toe crossed... the flood level report will take Ryde council 10 working days....

Thank you Miao, just got a call from ACH to request flood report from local council.
no doubt our site cost will jet up Like

I see, I just did some research about the hydraulic plan, it looks like OSD ( water tank for rainwater) is the most important part. wish this will be exempted.…
