Hi All,
I wanted the advice of a Sydney builder or someone in Sydney who already has undertaken something similar. I have never undertaken this, and want to see if its feasible or whether i am biting too much that i cant chew.
I wanted the steps in sequence of what you have to do from day one and next to it the rough ballpark price of doing it (i appreciate you have to see the job and size). If there are any Western Sydney builders who dont mind coming out on a saturday to inspect and give me a free quote or your thoughts, PM me your number.
THE SCENARIO:
Im considering buying a heritage listed terrace house that needs MAJOR renovations. The front wall must remain. What is there is basically the brick walls, you walk through the front door, there is no floor, you see the dirt ground and i think there are a few timber floor frame pieces running across. When you look up at the ceiling there is no gyprock, you see right through to the iron roof above. There is a dismantle electricity box at front, but there is no electricity/ power points/ or light switches (how would you run wires through the brick walls if you dont want the wires/electricty lines sitting on the wall?). No bathroom, i think there are pipes from the old toilet under the ground. there is no kitchen.
So basically picture a square brick terrace, like the ones you see in newtown sydney, 7 metres wide, about 10/12 metres deep. there are 2 rooms on one side, and the other side is the living /dining. no floor, iron roof, and the rest is the blank canvas.
If anyone has further questions please ask.
Appreciate your responses.
