We had porcelain tiles laid by our tiler outside of the contract - we had around 30 meters laid & it cost us $850 cash. More like $1200 if…

Hi, we're getting Viking pool fence for our front fence. 1200 high. It's costing us around $1900 without installation (27mtrs worth) & I plan in planting some pertostrums behind…

I'd efinitely be pushing it... It's in your signed contract so it needs to be right.

I think they need to make the garage accessible, but to what degree I suppose depends on your slope. How many meters have you got the 700mm fall? We have…

If you already own the land, then you'll only need to get a construction loan.
Any excess money (if any) can be put straight into your account once everything has…

We've gone with the frosted glass overheads & I am in love!! It's one of the best choices we made in my opinion... Really takes the kitchen up a notch.…

Our house is 1.2mts down at the front & 900mm up at the back. We have 2mts falling away from the road over 50mts. I don't know how to add…

Hi, I'd suggest $30k would be a fair way off the mark. We initially had a 29 aswell (since had it changed) and are now 12.5. When we were 29…

We had to apply for our own planning permit bc we needed a specific report written by a town planner regarding the bushfire reqs we had... Took around 4 months…

Hi, can you please tell me the slope of your driveway? We will need to have something similar to yours... Ours will be 1.2mt drop over 9mts. You look to…

We changed our fridge space & it didn't cost us a cent.

Sounds enough to put a sour taste in my mouth. I'd get rid of them.

Love the look of your house! I really like the colour of your bricks... Slightly wish we'd gone with the mocha but at the time of the colour consult i…

Probably not. I think we'll see how it goes & then reassess. We may end up getting a split system on the wall in te main living space, but who…

We're doing gas ducted (don't as me why... I know it's pricey?!!) and where we are building doesn't have natural gas so we'll be getting bottles. A friend whose house…

$10 / $12k is a lot nicer a figure... Don't know why, but $15k seems to tip me over the edge even though it's only another $3,000. Will get the…

Im getting a quote for this but am thinking its going to be abit above our budget. I'm thinking somewhere along the lines of >$15,000?

I doubt it... Regardless of what you've had before, what you're building relates to the second contract & that's the one that counts. That's my opinion, right or wrong.

I think it's all based on your contract date. If that is last year, then I doubt you'll be eligible

Super interested in this thread! I'm looking at exactly the same thing... I'm more so thinking about heating... Stupid question... Can ducted cooling also be heating? Like as in the…

I'm not sure they give discounts? I've not heard or anyone getting anyone & I know we certainly didn't

Log on to Veda & order your credit file. That will tell you what it is, when it was paid & when the credit default will end. I had a…

I don't think it's all about the slope of your land as much as its about the composition when you start digging. Our soil test had a graph of all…

Im thinking the internal wood would cost a mountain too? Or would you be looking to use something other? I think the house would be bloody amazing & would pay…

I think it would be amazing... But all I can picture is dollar signs!!! $$$$$$$$$

Hell yes

Whoops... Only just saw your post!
We're still in the process of getting it all done now. Water is taking longer than expected as we've had a few issues…

It can definitely be expensive... We bought our block with no services attached & in hindsight, it was a bad move. Even though id done all the investigations before purchasing,…

So your house going to be long & skinny? 40mts seems really long... Ours is 27mts at the longest point & i can't imagine adding another 13mts on top!! Our…

I can't open the picture... Where about are you located?
