What is different about building on a Samford Valley acreage block?
Samford Valley blocks are acreage, and that changes the build before a slab is poured. Most of them slope, many are bushland, a lot are unsewered, and the good ones have views worth designing around. A house plan drawn for a flat suburban lot will not work here, and adapting one costs more than designing for the block from the start.
We design and build, so the person drawing your plans and the team building your home are the same people. On a block like this that matters more than it does in the suburbs, because nearly every decision about the house is driven by the site.
What we look at on your block before we design anything
We walk the block with you and record what will drive the design. Where the sun tracks through the year. Where the breezes come from. Which parts of the fall you build into and which you leave alone. Where the views are, and where the neighbours are. What the soil is doing, and whether you are on septic or connected. Then we design to that, instead of dropping a plan onto it.
How long does an acreage build in Samford Valley take?
Weeks for approvals through Moreton Bay Regional Council, then weeks on site. After we visit the block you get a concept plan and an estimate, then a preliminary agreement, working drawings, your inclusions, a tender contract based on your selections, and a deposit before we start. You get a real date range at concept stage rather than a best case.
