    Building new IP, help us decide which plan

    yo yo ma, Is that 11 months from slab pour or total time from getting plans done etc? Does theft/vandalism cause many delays in Brisbane? In the estate we are building, there is quite a lot of existing homes, but the closest neighbour is two houses away so I am concerned. Have you had...

    Building new IP, help us decide which plan

    What do people think of the Clarendon or Paddington from Tamawood? Will they look too narrow (15.5-16m) on a 24m block? I am finding it hard to make a decision! Thanks

    Building new IP, help us decide which plan

    PS a couple of other things I wanted to ask of anyone who's built in Brisbane. -Do all builder's not do phone points in QLD or is it just Tamawood? -Is it normal not to put exhaust fans in the bathroom in QLD, or again just a Tamawood thing? -Why does it seem everyone in Brisbane has...

    Building new IP, help us decide which plan

    I am having difficulty choosing a plan for a new IP to be built in deception bay. I had wanted to build the Narcisa with Tamawood, but after getting the plans done was quite annoyed to find that the house was way too small for the covenants (North Ridge Estate), due to the web site including...
