With a small 400 square metre patch of dirt now ours. We dream of moving during winter of 2014, in time for our eldest girl's first birthday, if we are lucky.
We decided to go with Metricon for the build, simply because they are not the best, but they are reasonable and we don't wish to be guinea pigs for the loads of new building firms that have popped up recently.
We will be building a basic Metricon house, entitled Kyton 24. It will give us a four-bedroom house, double garage, open living/dining, leisure room (toy room), kitchen, laundry, outdoor room and enough yard for the kids to enjoy.
It would've been fabulous to have a guide for going through the process of contracting a build a few months back. So here I will try to help future readers to breeze through the process with a few helpful pointers.
Millions of signatures have been signed and all the pages of the build contract initialed. Now we sit back and wait for land settlement and the commencement of the build.
When shopping around we were on the look-out for a house layout that included 4 bedrooms, master with ensuite/WIR, leisure room/toy room for the kids, open plan style kitchen/dining/lounge, outdoor room, double car garage and enough space for the kids to run around out the back. The facade of this home is not that fancy, but this can be altered later. The floorplan was THE biggest seller for us.
