Thanks Muhammad, IA it works out. Feeling stressed but hoping it pays off to do as much research as I can! I so appreciate your help. Thank you

Ugh so many variables. I'm finding this all so difficult! My house is facing SW, so not clear cut north, east etc.

Thanks Muhammad, I've been told there is R1.5 in the walls. I might see if we can increase the stud size so I can increase the R value. Do you…

I'm looking to hire an independent interior designer to help me with my new build. Does anyone have any recommendations for an individual or company in Brisbane?

3.6*3.6 should be fine but with a Queen Bed in there the room around the bed won't be as good.
Our cupboads are roller door type.
We achieved the bigger bedrooms by…

Wow this seems really big to me for a bedroom that isn't a master bedroom?

Thanks JS. I think I'll leave it for now. It's adding costs I wasn't counting on to keep extending.
I grew up in a 4*3 room with 2 other siblings.…

Thank you for letting me know. Sounds like I may have to extend the bedrooms? Do you think 3.6*3.6 seems too small then?
The cupboard space, is that with roller doors…

Yeah that excludes the doorless walk in robe.
I was planning on a double but would like to fit a queen if I felt the need later on.
Do you…
