Have you already selected the land you plan to build your home on? Did you consider the implications of choosing that piece of property in drafting home plans? If you are the builder you already know the challenges unusual land structure cause. You either have to do extreme reshaping of the land or consider integrating the land and home together. The company who does the drafting services needs to understand the land and how it will affect the design.
It is not always curves and patterns of the property which causes problems. Sometimes it is the location. If the land in area prone to flooding? Is it in the suburbs of Sunshine Coast or Brisbane and surround by brush covered land? These conditions can change the requirements for building your home, too.
Fire and Flood Danger Adds to Your Home Cost
If a home is in a flood danger area is may need to be built higher and with added precautions for high water. This can cause additional costs in the design. These factors must be considered as the building construction plans are put together. Even the materials use may change in this situation.
Homes in brush lands with high fire risk present a different problem. The home must meet the new codes spelled out in the Queensland bushfire regulations. These new regulations can add 10% or more to the cost of your building.
Imagine the shock of working with a drafting services provider who does not take these factors into consideration in your plans and cost estimates. You agree to the plans and construction begins. Then you discover you will be responsible for over $10,000 in added expenses to make your house meet the local codes for flood or fire risk. Your budget is destroyed.
This is exactly why you should contact a company like Drafting Concepts who understands the Queensland regulations and land. They take into consideration where you plan to build your home and how the property affects the entire building design process.
