    Yay for building!! Hubby and I have just sent plans to council for our build!! We are nth Brissy, have bought a couple at acres in Dayboro and building our "forever" house.
    We are building with a local builder, Trubuilt, and have custom designed our place. It's daunting but so exciting to be starting!!
    Plantation homes are beautiful, we looked at some of their designs early on.

    Look at lots of homes, not just that firm and then look at your plans. One thing to look at is cupboard space.
    If it looks like there is not enough get it done before you build. Many of the houses these days don't have much storage and make sure there is wardrobes. Some plans don't include wardrobes in all rooms.
    Another thing to get them to do if you are having central heating in the roof is put the unit in the roof.
    Look to see if flyscreens are included on all windows and doors.

    Have fun designing your dream home.
