OK so my sales consultant from Metracon called today to get me in to look over some things. Turns out while the designer was drawing up the plans on my block as engineering plans rather than the original concepts. He noticed that my plan doesn't fit with 1 meter each side to the boundary by 10cm !!!! So i had to choose between getting council approval to move my garage workshop onto the boundary or removing it!
I selected attempt to get approval to move the house across to the boundary. It will give me more sun along the kitchen dining room side of the house and give me a better yard so it is probably for the best.
Apparently the council cost for this approval is like $1200 Ash expressed her discussed with this price!
He He
Oh an Jim we added the eves around the outdoor room and the living room bit how we drew them up the other day. It only cost $1300 a steal i think!
Wow, the devil really is in the detail.. 10cm..owch! Can u send the bill to the designer ? Surely had he known the problem a wall being 10cm shorter wouldn't really have affected things that much.
ReplyDeleteWhat? $1200!! sounds like a con to me.
ReplyDeleteYeh having the garage closer to that boundary would be better for the backyard side of things.
But would you put it across all the way to the boundary or still leave a small gap?
Apparently it goes to 200mm from the boundary. this has something to do with retaining wall clearance for the neighbours.
ReplyDeleteIf i wasn't trying to keep the plan standard i would have just changed the garage to remove the workshop option but then stretch it longer to basically give me a workshop in front of the cars.
