INTRODUCTION

First a quick introduction to my family to get started on our first building journey.

My name is Kim, my husband is Mark and we have 2 monkey's in tow – our daughter Bethany, and son James. We are currently renting and can't wait to start building our first home. We have chosen to build the Trinity Q2 – Miller façade, with Plantation Homes:

                  
THE BLOCK OF LAND:

We are purchasing a 676sqm corner block of land, North Brisbane. We are waiting for it to be registered, it has been with council for a few weeks now so it shouldn't be too long to go.

Here is a picture of our land:

Hopefully our land will be registered by the end of next week so we can sign our mortgage documents to make owning the land official.

This picture of the land was taken some months ago, I will post a more up to date picture later.


 
Choosing the House:

We have been looking at display homes for over a year, I was starting to get obsessed! We have decided to build the Trinity Q2 with Plantation Homes, as soon as we walked into the display home we knew it was perfect for us, it has all the areas we need and more. Here is the floor plan:

                                                                 GROUND FLOOR                                                          
 

                                                                         
                                                                      FIRST FLOOR

We have made a few changes to the floor plan, we have deleted the theatre at the back so we can have an extended alfresco. We are going to use theLiving at the front of the house as our theatre. There are other minor changes but I will go into more detail in the New Home Proposal section.
