Joys (and pitfalls) of sloping block house designs Brisbane & Ipswich
Building on a sloping block is advantageous to a buyer for a couple of reasons. Firstly, the cost of such land is quite often cheaper than that of flatter plots. However, the primary attraction of constructing in this area are the possible views. Incredible panoramas from many – if not every – room are achievable. Furthermore, cost savings in energy bills can be achieved by taking advantage of ventilation and natural light. If you are seeking to create a bespoke home on sloping land it is vital to seek professional assistance and advice as early as possible in your project. This is as opposed to reworking your site during groundworks to move earth and level the block to eliminate the hill,
It can cost more to build on a sloping block because of the groundworks. Furthermore, there may be council planning regulations to meet, so be aware of these factors. It may pay to get your builder on site before setting your heart on a particular block of land. Avoid putting your hard-earned money on the line before knowing everything there is to know about the block. This could prevent you from buying a block that is too difficult or too expensive to build on. And that would be a lifesaver.
