Hi all, someone I know was lucky to secure a block on the recent release in late Jan. However they are concerned about a clause in their contract which says…

How many here are planning and building your house with Simonds Homes? How is your experience so far?

Have you looked at the impression series from wisdom homes?

It's an odd block, you may need to sit with a lot of builders to see which designs fit you the best.
My 2c would be go for a wider front…

Have you checked Marina 35/37 from Eden Brae? Or Impression 33 from wisdom homes?

I'm guessing it's a double storey, how big are you thinking?

Thanks, but the parkhill 34 floor space ratio for the first floor is over 40% of the land area.
I have been able to find another design from Mojo homes…

Thanks, the other designs from EBH won't fit my block.
But they are good designs.

I went through a lot of the designs that will fit the dimensions and will comply with CDC requirements of 3m setback from the rear. Eden brae homes have 4…

Depends on the size of the land. For a 350sqm block it's 60% (210sqm) for a single storey that doesn't include alfresco and porch.

We live in a 30sq home, no point in upgrading if less than 35.

Your comments aren't helpful but thanks for taking the time to give your 2c worth.

Thanks Kaycee, Wisdom has confirmed it can fit the Manhattan 36 by a slight alteration (pushing the garage in by 20cms )because of the Zero boundary.

Thanks for the list mate, fitting a 30-32sq wouldn't be an issue. The design I'm after is something that uses the maximum floor space. So far the Manhattan 36 or…

Thanks Kaycee. Much appreciated mate.
