Development approval

Great posts ladies! One question @marisa where do you find a builder that builds for 1200 to 1500 per m2? Are we talking single or double story and what sort of finish. This is the biggest hurdle i have at the moment and what is the deal breaker to most sites i look at.

Thanks Paul,I've just discoved I already have Lewis' details in my file. That's great.I'll give him a call.RegardsJohn
