House plans received

Hi, there. Last week we received our house plans for review. It was quite exciting as we can start seen how things are taking shape. Almost everything was fine, just an small detail in the main bedroom that we want it to be different. In other news... we requested an independent valuation of our BAL level, as we mentioned in previous post our BAL was 40 in some sections.  Well the new BAL is 19, which is great news for us.. this news means a saving of up to $ 9K, and that also means that may be able to apply through CDC (which was not possible with BAL 40). So, yeah so far a good start of the year :-).   

This is how our house would look like:

Tender requested

Today we requested our tender with Wisdom Homes. We've finally decided to go for a Majestic 35 with just a couple of changes to cover the basic council requirements for a corner lot. Additionally,  we requested some small extras, nothing fancy as most of our requirement are already covered by the default design.

Our land is close to the bush, so our BAL reports says that our lot is a combination of bad news..  we have BAL 40, 29 and 19. That means our construction expenses will be increased. Anyway, we like the location of our land and we expect get a nice view from the balcony in the first floor. We've chosen the Savannah Facade, this is more or less how the house would look like:
