Luxury Technologies for New Build Homes
A number of new technologies are being employed in newly built homes. These include improved robotic vacuum cleaners that integrate with the home layout, home appliances that interface with mobile computers, wet rooms, under floor heating, heated driveways, and ethanol fireplaces.
The Squeeze: Building Homes On Narrow Blocks
It’s been called the squeeze. For a whole host of reasons, the width of new home blocks has been getting narrower. Whilst sixteen metre blocks and wider are still commonly available, they often command a price premium, and there are fewer of them. What has caused the change? In simple terms, a combination of economics and government intervention.
The Advantages of Self Build Homes
Would you believe that there was once a time when it was the norm for people to build their own homes? That’s right, and quite often an entire extended family would get involved in the project, or neighbors would share labor. They would take turns helping one another with their barns, outbuildings, and homes.
