Loving the whole look of this house! This is the kind of build I think my Mrs would follow on pintrest Out of interest, how long has it taken to get to this point? My brother and his partner are building but there's been hurdle upon hurdle. They had everything ready to go, builders etc. Then the bank pulled out because of something to do with power lines... Thankfully they got another bank on board, and they put the "sold" sign on their land last week. Hoping its smooth sailing from here on out for them 😊 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I decided on the development 3-4 years ago and spent 6 months drawing preliminary plans, went out to builders who would let me project manage (which wasn’t many) and then started the paper work 3 years ago. Unfortunately there was a massive delay in regards to my father passing away and red tape which meant delays and additional costs due to paper work, as well as mentally shelving the project due to being over it lol. Demolition happened in March last year and we had to let the block settle due to there being a previous cellar. Actual construction started in May 2020 and it was technically ready last week. The timeline was quite good for the sheer size and nature of the build (dispute what j@ insists lol) and we had a lot of customisation and I made changes to design during the project which is also something to consider. I think, all things considering, it has gone well for the most part and I am happy with the finished product. There are a lot of hidden gems and some additional cabinetry is going in as we speak so I’m going to do videos on each component. I wouldn’t really change much, maybe a few minor things, but all in all I’m fairly happy 😊 Thanks everyone for following the journey! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J@ thinking it was slow as piss but he’s used to commercial construction. Got cabinetry happening at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(don’t mind the alfresco which is a junk area) Completed bar... other than the holes in the ceiling which need patching. Bedroom cabinetry looking good also 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
