Comments (45)Louise, sorry but u are messing with a good design - have a read of the design notes at yourhome.gov.au. The design is a 7star design including reverse brick veneer (fancy term for bricks on the inside..thermal storage), the roof line is changed - have a look at the high up windows which provide light and warmth, the bedrooms are now at the back of the building (cold and darker). the whole design is now changed, airflow is affected as is the wonderful views that the building would have from each room (except the media room - and who cares with that anyway?) Also I am proposing a double garage/carport with a nice breezeway to connect the house. Also the study is now gone!

Comments (6)Yes defiantly get the plans sorted first as mentioned above the structural engineer will need a copy the council and the builders quoting on the job. Here are our contacts for drafting we are doing work for them as well & they have structural engineers contacts that they work with. Ace Drafting (Ringwood) http://www.acedrafting.net.au/ Newscope Drafting (Lilydale) https://www.newscope.net.au/ They both do a great job and are local to you once you have a final plan with specifications, We would be happy to quote on your new home/demo/removal of old home. http://www.edwardsrenovations.com.au/ 1300299229...See MoreKnockdown rebuild
Comments (7)The two factors that you should carefully consider are cost and the amount of backyard space required. Two storey homes are substantially more expensive than single storey homes, but will give you more flexibility with the size of your backyard. Single storey homes have less total floor area (as there is no need to allow for an internal stairwell), are cheaper to build (no scaffolding), easier to maintain, but will take up more of your backyard. If you are close to parkland that is suitable for kids then I would closely consider the single storey options....See More- 4 months ago
