Hi all,
We are looking at building a house on some land we have in rural Melbourne (10 acres). The IP will be aimed at holiday accommodation. We have not decided on whether we get a builder in to start building from scratch or purchasing a kit home and then getting a builder to assemble. The project will require quite a lot of infrastructure to be setup including – water tanks, septic tanks, power from road, phone from road, land scaping, soli engineers, tree felling… the list goes on!
How question is:
Should be engage an architect to manage all the infrastructure requirements (even though he/she might not design the house) or is there another professional who provides this service?
Factors for us include time and of course price!!
Plus!! If anyone else has been in this situation (building on rural land etc…) please send or post us your experiences!!
