Michael Yardney,
Are you a registered building practitioner with the building commission. I think that is what colbert was asking. With all due respect, Being a member of the HIA does not ensure you have the appropriate insurances in place etc, my dog could join the hia if he wanted to and he could put their stickers on his kennel. Also does your…[Read more]

This is what I consider in doing a devolpment first i conduct a thorough analysis of the physical and regulatory characteristics of a site before development begins is essential to the development process. The information

Michael14 The reason I am asking as I own a property there, fairly self explanatory I thought. I am not asking anyone to do any research for me, just asking if they have dealt with a particular property manager that does his or her job well, who covers that area. Man you need a chill pill, you are an angry man, I hope you dont have kids.

Check on the strata plan who has carparking spaces if there is one that is not used eg an old lady owns it, buy a…[Read more]

Sloping blocks can be cash flow positive fromn day one if you get the right price. Level the block before any neighbors build, try-link retaining walls are a sound investment. Use rendered foam to build the house as this will reduce costs and consider using pile and beam style footing arangements. A floating garage slab could be used at the front…[Read more]

I think we used him on a reno in Elwood if its the same guy. Tall with dark hair, has a small dog with him, then he is an excellent plumber. Good for lots of free advice and reasonble rates.

I agree with rob, bad idea in these times.

If you have ever been involved with the development of income property then you may have heard this dictum: One can describe virtually any development project as…

Out of this ying and yang school of development arose two classic techniques to assess feasibility: The Back Door and the Fro…[Read more]
