[B]House building pitfalls[/B]
Guys,
Me and Mrs Patmoss are looking at building somewhere in the bayside suburbs. There must be loads of you who've built since you've been here so i'm after a little advice from your experience!!
What are the hidden costs or common pitfalls, have you guys had bad experiences with any companies in particular.How much do we need to leave to one side for finishing up once the building is complete (Tile, carpets, landscaping, driveways etc). We're thinking of using a company called "Ownit Homes". Anyone any feedback on them.
Generally we're after any advice or comments that would be helpful in the process. You guys always come up trumps every time i post, thanks for your advice in advance!!!!
