Thanks for sharing so other small developers now have some idea of what to look out for. I am just completing our first 1 to 2 lot reconfiguration in Logan and will be looking to do another small development in a few months. Good luck with your political campaigning !! I look forward to...

Congrats on the Certificate of Occupancy !! Well Done and thanks for sharing :)

I used to work on high rise construction sites and the WH&S Officer could always track who left what where. He would say "Your DNA is all over the stuff" and he was right :eek:. If there is roofing offcuts, they will be exactly the same as the house etc etc. I would try to negotiate a deal...

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I have just gained approval for a 1 to 2 lot reconfiguration in Logan and they demanded a 3 Metre easement (1.5 metres clear on both sides of the sewer pipe). Our house was only going to encroach by 350mm max (and only at a corner) but we have had to...

Property is in Beenleigh:)

Maybe I have used the wrong term - maybe I should have asked for a indicative cost to thrust bore under a standard roadway to get a town water supply across a roadway. Thanks :D

Hi all It seems we may have to get a directional driller to bore under the road to gain a water supply because the Water Main is across the road. Does anyone have experience with what this might cost me, or any recommendations on a good cheap contractor around Beenleigh or South Brisbane to...

Maybe consider Vinyl Plank flooring. They are reasonably priced and can be loose laid DIY. Make sure surface underneath is flat - even slight undulations may show through the vinyl. Cheers :)

Thanks gaiusb We did check with Logan Council officer today and we do need to get the DA completed and the plans sealed with the Lands Dept BEFORE we can lodge the BA. Still looking for a Civil Engineer to assist with the application to Council for "Operational Works" such as water...

Sorry, I am a newbie and am asking questions because I hope to learn more from the experience of others here on this forum. I have finance approval from Suncorp and they have informed me that I can have the plans sealed (see below) either prior to construction ... OR .... after construction...

Hi We have a DA for a battleaxe subdivision in Logan QLD and we plan to build as soon as we get our BA. We thought we could have the plans sealed and pay headworks to council after the build of the house on the rear lot is complete, so we pay just before we sell the front lot. Could...

Hi all We have our DA for a 1 to 2 Lot reconfiguration approved by Logan Council so what next ? It seems we need to get "Operational Works" done next, and we have been told by Council to get an engineer to complete the application. I guess the operational works is for the water meter...

Re: Numbering of a house We had a house on the Gold Coast with two houses on one block with 2 street frontages. We just put a mailbox at the 'back' house and used an odd number that suited the even numbers from the opposite side of the road. Mailman did not know the 'odd' number was not legit...

I have used RoomSketcher. http://planner.roomsketcher.com/?ctxt=rs_com&language=en It is free and is easy enough to use. It has a limited range of furniture and then you can take "Virtual Photos" from anywhere in the house. EDIT = Video Tutorials are available here...
