Gday all!!
This is my first attempt at creating a blog. I hope I am doing it right....
Anyway - DW and I are currently progressing with Wisdom to build our lovely new home at West Pennant Hills. We started off with the Manhattan 42 floor plan - but this soon expanded to be a Manhattan 51! I will upload some floor plans a.s.a.p.
We accepted our tender about 3 weeks ago. The preliminary architect drawings have been completed - and we will hopefully be signing and submitting to council in about 4 weeks (when we settle on our current house). Unfortunately, we had to sell our beloved home at Toongabbie to fund the build. Even more unfortunate is that fact that we have to rent for the next 12 months :(

Hi,
ReplyDeleteWe are very much interested following your blog as we have intention to build the same house, in fact about the similar size as you are.
Do you mind to let us know how much the cost approx. to build this size please?
Cheers,
Anto
Hi there!
ReplyDeleteI am also thinking about building the same house and I am curious as to where you added the extra 9 squares?
How did you find Wisdom when you wanted to make changes to the floor plan? Flexible?
Thanks for your time. I'll keep following your blog, since I can't wait to see how your house looks!

Hi Sheridan,
ReplyDeleteWe added a 3rd garage, added a balcony, extended bedroom 3 in width and length, and extended the whole house 800mm (kitchen, home theatre, WIRs, BED 4). All this added up to 9 squares.
Wisdom had no problem making changes. The tender was always updated within a week or so of any modifications. We were surprised how flexible they actually were (many others builders we visited hesitated when requesting floor plan changes).
Good luck.
