Let’s be up front. Building on a sloping block is going to cost you more than building a similar dwelling on a flat block. It’s because of these difficulties that you will find the pool of available, qualified builders somewhat limited.
IDH have specialized in working on those blocks that other builders avoid. IDHomes have built a reputation for identifying all potential issues and offering quotes that reflect the true cost of building your ideal home on that block.
Whether your block slopes down up or down from the street or to the boundaries, a conventional builder will probably advise you to organise retaining walls or excavation before they can offer you a firm quote.
Your alternative is to find someone like IDH who can design a home that works with your sloping block. IDH will design a home to compliment your sloping block and many cases take advantage of the characteristics of the land.
If you do choose to excavation, you need to be mindful of sewage, soil erosion and drainage disturbance. Of course, if you decide to you want to keep your sloping block as it is, you can enjoy a host of benefits such as natural air conditioning via breezes under the house, or under-house car parking which enables you to dedicate more space to your living area.
Whether you elect to build a conventional dwelling on a post supported platform or design a home with poles throughout the house right through to the roof, IDH will be able to guide you at every step of the way.
IDH have designing and building quality homes for years. You can trust them to design and manage the entire process that will be delivered on time and on budget.
