    Highgate WA: let's build a baby apartment block thread

    We made a deck out of a product from Bunnings which is a mix of recycled plastic and bamboo. It is maintenance free and is a dark brown color as pictured in your photo. Not any cheaper than wood I believe but set and forget :cool: I think it is called Ekodeck. Hope that helps.

    Subdivide then build or visa versa? Finance implications

    Oops ...only meant for the last few lines to be quoted. The block we intend to subdivide off is only small (<270m2) so we opted for subdivision first to ensure it was passed before building on it. We didn't want to end up with 2 dwellings on one block which in the lower socioeconomic area...

I can't help thinking if this house goes up in flames (as often happens over winter, especially with hoarders) even your current insurance wouldn't be worth the paper it is written on.
