hugh Posted 22June, 2018 Report Share Posted 22June, 2018 Did Modscape come up with the design or did you take a design to them? Colours on the images just indicative at this stage? Interested to hear about the process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1q2w3e4r Posted 23June, 2018 Report Share Posted 23June, 2018 How do you end up $1.5m over budget? Did the designer not engage with the builder during the design and scoping phase? Could be worthwhile considering a builder that has architect and construction under one roof LeeM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colours on the images just indicative at this stage? Interested to hear about the process. design by me Hugh. Worked with a mate on the original DA, but pricing was ridiculous, largely due to the amount of excavation required. In redesigning I am looking at sitting the whole structure off the existing topography. Idea is to use Modscape for the build/engineering. Colours/Materials a work in progress, but definitely going for a white box - modern take on weatherboard beach house I guess.. The process to far has been a little challenging, but largely because i think I am the first client to come to them with with a design. Managing the process from start to finish I am sure they are good. What appeals most is the speed of construction, which means in theory we will only be out of our house for 4 months. All the detail I will either be doing or no doubt challenging the way they are doing things. Ultimately you can do anything with them as long at the modules are no wider than 5.5m and longer than 17m. Their basic finish package is actually not that bad, but I will likely document most joinery items and potentially get things like the kitchen made locally. 12 hours ago, KGB said: You’ve been watching re-runs of Grand Designs Australia.

I was only meaning that the street appeal isn't there for me. That has zero bearing on outlook or interior design. Some of the coolest spaces I've seen are inside warehouses.

hugh Posted 28June, 2018 Report Share Posted 28June, 2018 Now we just have to add in the balustrade to the outdoor terrace, glazing system/frames and any other structural requirements whilst maintaining the simplicity. Therein lies the game. I think we should also talk materials as well, I like the simplicity but I'm nervous of it not being too pre-fabby (if there is such a word?) I'm sure you know what I mean.................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
