We're currently thinking about our next PPoR, and wondering what it'll cost to build this house:
25-30 square Edwardian weatherboard, single storey at front, two storey at back, with upstairs not visible from the street
Decent fittings but not marble or anything like that
Flat rectangular block
Something broadly that looks like this
Incidentally the area we really like, around Maling Road, is in a Boroondara heritage overlay, with very strict rules about many things, so a local architect/builder familiar with Boroondara council would be a must for me. Luckily for us, we really like the classic Edwardian look, so hopefully less of a problem than if we wanted to build a more modern looking house.
And if you can recommend any builders in the area, please let me know. Canny are fairly well known and their work seems to be quite good, but from what I can see they're well above $20k/square, whereas I'd be hoping for under the $20k/square cost.
Cheers
Jonathon
