That slope is very, very similar to mine, but my land is a little wider.
I got advised by some normal 'volume builders', that kind of slope will require a small…

What is the length of your land, and what is the rise of over that distance ?
What is the height difference from street to the backyard ?

Architects vary, ie. some can project-manage your entire build (and take 3% of the total build cost),
and some will just give you the plans, and refer you to some builders…

Thank you for that clarification

I mean, is "registration" the same as owning the house + land ?
If it's a Knock-down Rebuild, then would it still need "registration" ?
I've visited several builders, and they've all…

What does "land 'registration' " involve ?
I mean, if the house + land is yours,
does it still need to be 'registered',
for you to ask builders to provide a price/quote…

ATO has entered the chat

lift. duplex. fun.
that's a great attitude !

That sounds like a CDC application.
Well, New South Homes are family-owned, and they have a reputation to maintain.
I'm not promoting them, but curious to hear of any experiences from using…

Thanks for being candid in your reply.
I guess it's the shock of seeing the building prices post-Covid.
I used to see numbers like "3,4,5" in front of house prices,
ie. 300k, 400k,…

How was the Eagle Homes experience been ... ?
They have cheap offers for their designs
and their display homes certainly have the 'wow factor'

How did the DA go with Hornsby Council ?
( and experience with New South Homes? )

So, are you saying that with this 'lack of heat transfer',
this is a PLUS, for tropical climates, in keeping the home cool ?

People will be fighting over who gets to get a peek inside your Duplexes _before_ they are sold
In any case, if the Duplexes are…

Was this sold off market ?
ie. it did not even go to the market?

Thanks for all the replies
I'm learning everyday.

Thanks for that.
Yes, I agree with you and also, I should have included Hebel in that list.
Personally, I would choose brick, but I've seen those cladding offerings (above),
and know why…

I'm reading into all the various materials and technologies that go into a house build, and came across 'cladding'.
My understanding of cladding is, to provide some thermal insulation and weather…

Even if it's not being sub-divided and you want to keep it as Torrens title,
you will still need to talk to a town planner or Council themselves,
to see if they…

PS:
When will you all be at the site ?
I drove past today, and just some tradies working away.

Empty reply ?

How long did the build take ?
and which state was the build?
I liked one of their designs,
and they were on the shortlist,
because of my budget needs.
So, the more I…

That original post was from 2020, and it's 2023 now,
so, did you end up completing the build with Eagle Homes ?
(eg. you completed, but after those setbacks & budget…

Thank you for recommending.
Also, do you have any ideas of costs,
as in, what's a ballpark estimate

Thank you, for replying.
I'll check with Ashington Homes

That's a very good point, you make.
Thank you for telling me this.

Does 'no reply', mean no recommendation because he wasn't good ?
I'm wondering about the concreters too, in Sydney.
Primarily for a ~3m wide driveway, for…
