Development Application is now ready for submission to Council for our 4 Townhouse site in Melbourne’s East.

Here are some initial external renders of the project.

We received great feedback on the design/colour scheme on our previous project, so have used it again for this one as they are in a similar area.

After several weeks working with architects, town planners and builders, we have now finalised the project design.
Although this takes some time , it is so important to ensure the project is as cost effective as possible AND what the target market wants to purchase.
Landscape Plan, External Renders and Planning Report are being finalized and then we are ready for submission to council.

The hardest number to work out in a Feaso is …… ?
How much is it going to cost to build ?
Here is why a great ‘A-Team’ is so important

• Had a site suitable for a 4 townhouse project come up for sale.
• Our Town Planner gave us the plans they had just submitted for a 4 townhouse development on the site next door.
• Asked our builders to estimate based on these plans.
• Took the average of all their prices.
• Our architect worked out where cost savings could be made
• Now we had our construction estimate for our feasibility.
This gave us the confidence to bid for the property.

We are pleased to present some before and after images of our recently completed project in Outer Eastern Melbourne. Like any project it has had it’s challenges, but has still proven to be a very successful and profitable development. This project was a 1 into two subdivision of an already subdivided block.
The existing residence had not been touched for 30+ years, so has been given a facelift ( just a little painting externally to be completed at time of the photos ). Interestingly, we will not be putting it to market as we had an interested party agree to purchase it even before the facelift was even complete.
Issuing of titles is underway and should be completed within coming weeks.
We will be holding the newly constructed residence at this stage.

If you would like to know more about this project, or wish to express your interest in working with us on our upcoming projects please contact us at [email protected] .

Getting ourselves familiar with some of the developments in the Palm Beach area in QLD

Here is a great service we have used that can save you money. This is a 1:1 scale projection allowing you to walk around the layout and look for any issues.
In this instance we noticed the internal wall at the entry was impeding the view into the living area once inside. This made it feel very small and enclosed. You can see how we moved the wall to see the change to the open space feel.
The money saver in this instance was the study window. The original window size was to be 300mm lower that what you see in the last photo to the left of the front door. This would have meant the handrail post ( just below the window ) would have stopped the window from opening. Simple solution was to install a smaller window as shown.
Some services ( like this one ) even have the ability for you to drive your car onto the projected garage area. Great if you have two large cars and want to make sure they fit and can still open your doors!!

The existing dwelling at our Development in Eastern Melbourne had two large windows that overlooked the new house. The planning permit required the windows to be replaced with privacy windows ( bottom of window sill must be 1,700mm above the floor level ).
It was also a requirement that a new sliding door be added to allow access to the outdoor area from the living room ( original layout required you to go through the laundry ).
Fortunately, the leftover bricks from the new construction can be used to fill in the holes left by the two windows as the house is going to be rendered. ( you can also see they have been used under the new sliding door ).
Great way to save money and cut down on waste at the same time.
