This is another project I have going at the moment. I bought a block of land which was already subdivided and was on two titles, we secured it on a long settlement of 6 months, enough time to get plans drawn up and a building DA lodged into the council. It was in a good location, close to shops and a childcare centre. We are in the process of building 2 x duplex. Each a 2br, one bath, one garage, brick and tile unit. Rents are in high demand in this area as the hospitality and mining industry is quite strong.
We have just had the gyprockers come in. Next the carpenters will be in to install the interior mould out which consists of skirting boards and architraves. Next job after that will be the tilers to do kitchen splashbacks and floors to the laundry, kitchen and family area. The retaining wall on the left hand side boundary is quite complexed as it needed a lot of fill and concrete blocks to compact the site, so unfortunately added to the cost. Also council made us put a brick pier fence with timber slats for street appeal?!? We usually just add colourbond fencing to keep it simple clean looking and also helps with the bank balance!
Our main objective is to keep costs low for our clients, but also at the same time getting the right look and feel for the project and not scrimping to much.
Stay tuned for more progress!!
