Our family is looking at the possibility of a new build in 2015. We envisage this to be based upon either the bush range or new beach-court range that your site mentions. We aren't seeking to build a palace but a modest size dwelling to suit our growing family and lifestyle on the Northern Rivers. We won't require a complete service as we want to carry over our current decor and furniture but will be seeking your expertise in regard to the layout, finish and landscaping of the dwelling, it is important to us that we draw upon sustainable design principles as well. We are building a home for the longer term not an investment property, and therefore hope to build the overall design in stages, however, we recognise our initial starting budget is restrictive. If you could give us an estimate of your cost per square, or what might be achievable from the outset with a max budget of approx $200,000 it would be greatly appreciated. Also there is a chance that we may by an existing property and would like to know if you undertake major renovations? Warm regards, Tashi
