There are basically two ways to get out of the ground, and I’ll describe them below. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f0ba0844b82883c7cebf8b8/e4ef9a63-5774-414b-8b1e-965a7a33989d/excavation+site.jpg Blog - Built for Living Sydney - Build Light - Build Fast - Move In Sooner - The first method involves cutting into the side of the hill by excavating then concrete slabbing and bricking your way out of it. This consists of excavating in soil, clay and/or rock (more on steeper blocks), making false ground and ensuring that is compacted to the required bearing pressure, then managing and disposing of the excess excavated material. Next involves constructing retaining walls, ground water management, moisture management with lots of steel & concrete and site erosion management. This will all require a greater level of detailed engineering (and fee’s), significant construction time, including a long weather exposure, and of course, significant cost just to get to floor level. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f0ba0844b82883c7cebf8b8/54c7fac9-71aa-43a7-8948-63b4d1317fa3/house+on+posts+in+bush.jpg Blog - Built for Living Sydney - Build Light - Build Fast - Move In Sooner - The 2nd method, and by far a simpler, faster and much more cost effective method, is to bore piers for the main support footings and post your way up to the floor level with minimal disruption to the ground, minimal disruption to the existing ground water table, and minimal disruption to the surface of the land in general. This is in effect ‘touching the ground lightly’ as opposed to the ‘scorched earth’ method described above. Building your home on posts on a graded slope is by far the fastest and most economical way to get to ground floor level where we are then ready to stand wall frames, pitch the roof frame and get the roof covering on. https://www.builtforliving.au/blog/finding-a-builder monthly 0.5 2022-03-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f0ba0844b82883c7cebf8b8/1624829414849-40GM8CGNTC17780EBQ9P/1+hia+PH+houzz+logos.jpg Blog - Built for Living Sydney - Finding a Builder - Nail Down Your Search - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f0ba0844b82883c7cebf8b8/1626948773227-S8N5A7BBRCD078SOITSW/Built+for+Living+Sydney+finding+a+builder_opt.jpg Blog - Built for Living Sydney - Finding a Builder - Nail Down Your Search - Finding a builder is a popular search term on Google, but it’s not very specific. Punch that term into Google and you unleash an avalanche of marketing, designed to grap your attention, and more likely you’ll wonder away from what you were hoping to find. To be more specific in your search to find the right kind of builder for your project, it helps to first define exactly what type of work or project you are planning. https://www.builtforliving.au/blog/complying-development monthly 0.5 2022-03-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f0ba0844b82883c7cebf8b8/1626391134834-CUZTW6WJDU4QA24X8M9D/Built+for+Living+sysdey+fast+track+complying+development+_opt.jpg Blog - Built for Living Sydney - Build Sooner with Complying Development https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f0ba0844b82883c7cebf8b8/1624829414849-40GM8CGNTC17780EBQ9P/1+hia+PH+houzz+logos.jpg Blog - Built for Living Sydney - Build Sooner with Complying Development - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.builtforliving.au/blog/home-buyers-and-downsizers monthly 0.5 2021-07-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f0ba0844b82883c7cebf8b8/1624829414849-40GM8CGNTC17780EBQ9P/1+hia+PH+houzz+logos.jpg Blog - Built for Living Sydney - Home Buyers and Downsizers - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f0ba0844b82883c7cebf8b8/1626217756539-CK5CKZFFFJY73T0KF8RS/unsplash-image-NpTbVOkkom8.jpg Blog - Built for Living Sydney - Home Buyers and Downsizers Before you buy a home or downsize, it’s worth considering what your options are. The typical brick veneer house that people buy has not changed much since the post war boom apart from getting bigger. There has been no fundamental shift in volume housing design for decades. Energy efficiencies are add on’s rather than incorporated. Yes they have gone from suspended floors to slab on ground, timber windows to aluminium windows, a choice of coloured steel roofing or a tiled roof, and the façade of the day to finish it off. But these construction changes are about cost efficiencies not energy efficiencies, and the way land is subdivided very often limits good design, yet is still as dominant today as it ever has been. There are significant benefits to be had for home buyers choosing different ways of constructing their houses compared to a volume or basic built house. A true energy efficient home doesn’t have to be that much different either. It just needs to incorporate specific design principles. There are options too. You may have heard of Passive Solar Design. This system incorporates and maximises the use of what the natural environment offers freely. It relies on judicious orientation in relation to its surroundings, shape and placement of different materials and components for optimum performance. Passive House is another type of highly energy efficient home. Simply, it’s an environmentally impervious bubble requiring minimal heating/cooling, built with a filtered ventilation system that is highly suited to cooler and less healthy environments, but can be adjusted to suit all environments. Either choice is fine and will typically yield lower running costs which also makes them a more sustainable choice of housing in the long run. Do they cost more to build? On average a Passive house home will cost around 10% more to construct, depending, but over time, like solar panels, will start to pay for it self but continue doing so. It’s actually a great consideration for retiring downsizers who don’t want to be burdened with high running costs in their golden years. Passive solar design is a more ‘interactive’ type of construction, not so much excluding the environment but rather working with it. Costs would be relative to other types of construction, however, there will be more design input required in the planning stage to harness and specify for the particular location. A well designed passive solar design for the home buyer will provide lower running costs and naturally higher levels of comfort than a typical volume or bog-standard type home. Can you mix and match? You could apply different features to each though their core principle are unique - if you lived in an unhealthy environment and built a Passive House, you would not want to open your windows to catch those summer breezes. If you built in a temperate country climate, most days you would be opening the windows to absorb that fresh country air. The more home buyers become aware of their housing choices and push for better quality in this regard, the more industry will be pressured to shift (by more educated consumer demands and not by lagging regulations), and provide better quality homes that provide lower running costs, are more sustainable, naturally more comfortable and better value for money.

If we stayed somewhere, like a holiday apartment, he would fix things that needed fixing. If we went camping, he would pick up other peoples rubbish to tidy up. He never harms animals or insects (except maybe cockroaches ), and he has a strong driving force within him to keep the peace and create harmony. He brings these qualities to each home he comes to, to renovate or build.

Here are some ideas of things you can do to make your home both warmth in winter and cooler in summer! The use of heaters can be of benefit for warming, but we need to do more than just plug a heater in, unless we want our electricity bill to go through the roof. Currently, according to AGL, 40% of our electricity bill, for most Australians, is spent on heating or cooling our homes! BTW, 10% is spent on appliances that are spent on stand-by and not being actively used! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f0ba0844b82883c7cebf8b8/1594789650538-U3Z26BELUX75IN504UCY/hero-homepage-energy-piggy-bank.jpg Blog - Built for Living Sydney - Home Energy Efficiency - THE BIGGEST ENERGY WASTERS IN YOUR HOME Standby power and appliances One of the biggest home energy wasters is standby power, which is the energy an appliance uses when it’s plugged in and switched on at the wall, but not being used. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f0ba0844b82883c7cebf8b8/1594789649743-523CM30J7WNHUJ9JQHEM/1554906087539.jpg Blog - Built for Living Sydney - Home Energy Efficiency - WINDOWS Your home can lose up to 40% of its heating in winter and gain up to 87% of its heat in summer through its windows. So, by improving their performance, you can help reduce your energy costs and greenhouse gas emissions. https://www.builtforliving.au/blog/builder-peakhurst/mistakes-you-can-make-when-planning-your-home-renovation-part-5 monthly 0.5 2021-07-23 https://www.builtforliving.au/blog/water-harvesting-basix monthly 0.5 2021-07-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f0ba0844b82883c7cebf8b8/1627433770083-8PHAHWAV2DK41MREUSU3/water+harvesting.jpg Blog - Built for Living Sydney - Water Harvesting and Basix Certificates picture of working model of rainwater harvesting https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f0ba0844b82883c7cebf8b8/1624829414849-40GM8CGNTC17780EBQ9P/1+hia+PH+houzz+logos.jpg Blog - Built for Living Sydney - Water Harvesting and Basix Certificates - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.builtforliving.au/blog/legal/mistakes-you-can-make-when-planning-your-home-renovation-part-4 monthly 0.5 2021-07-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f0ba0844b82883c7cebf8b8/1594789645804-X3S003SXCL8X50NOMAQK/frame-and-rendered-walls.jpg Blog - Built for Living Sydney - Mistakes you can make when planning your home renovation – Part 4 built for living sydney photo of bathroom building https://www.builtforliving.au/blog/builder-peakhurst/mistakes-you-can-make-when-planning-your-home-renovation-part-3 monthly 0.5 2021-07-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f0ba0844b82883c7cebf8b8/1594789647351-8MAI3BRILQUNTF0WEBXF/8iAbX86rT.jpg Blog - Built for Living Sydney - Mistakes you can make when planning your home renovation – Part 3 - Not Planning your Deadline?

When owners embark on additions & alterations to their homes, we find the typical design solution to a house that’s closed off to the back yard is to demolish the rear of the house and build a more functional open plan style living space. This typically involves creating a new living space that opens directly to the back yard, allows for lots of natural light, often incorporating a new kitchen that’s conveniently located within the new living space. Of course, this is not the only style of extension we build, your choices will determine this. If you don’t have enough land available, you might consider a second storey addition. To discuss your home extension and to see how Built for Living can help, make an enquiry with us and we will happily explore your available options.

centerpiece of the house. It’s where home owners mingle, share and of course, prepare their daily meals. With this in mind, a kitchen needs to serve a range of important functions such as provide adequate storage, have a practical layout, offer lots of convenience, have good lighting and be easy to clean. Combining practical knowledge of kitchen operation, an eye for detail, and a craftsman’s touch, Built for Living can deliver a cleverly designed, quality constructed, beautiful kitchen, just for you. Because we don’t do volume kitchens which typically have a rushed turnover and potential lower quality, with our personal service, we are able to give each kitchen the attention to detail required in one of the most important rooms in the home. How much does a kitchen renovation cost? Costing an individual kitchen is dependent on a range of site factors and customer specified finishes. These include for example - access to the site, amount of demolition, design parameters, level of finish and the choice of appliances to be installed. We can do this as part of a renovation or extension to your home, or just a kitchen renovation by itself. Call Built for Living and let us craft a kitchen where you’ll finally have the freedom to prepare your favourite meals, for you, your family, and friends.

A bathroom renovation is an opportunity to redesign a better lay-out, install modern, easy to clean surfaces, add storage space and components, that better serve your needs. When renovating a bathroom, special attention needs to be given to the underlying waterproofing that provides the ongoing protection to your homes structure. This is why we ensure the highest installation standards of this critical aspect. Unfortunately for home owners, some installers fail to understand the importance of proper waterproofing, as it shows up as one of the highest reported failures in building work. Other features such as floor heating can provide additional comfort in colder months, plus add to your homes value. See some of our projects below.

Thinking about some extra income? Or for that much needed extra space? Building a Granny Flat, also known as a ‘Secondary Dwelling’, offers several benefits - they provide a self contained living space for others in your family; they can be used as a rental for that extra income; or for yourself as a private retreat or studio. A Secondary Dwelling can be a more affordable alternative for first home buyers, who have access to land. They are then able to offset the build cost with the First Home Owners Grant. A Granny Flat can also be a more affordable option than building an investment property as they generally offer higher % yields. Due to their smaller scale, Granny Flats are quicker and cheaper to build, and this has been helped along with the relaxed planning regulations. Plus your council may even waive other fee’s typically associated with these developments. All helpful in todays housing market. Some things we need to know before we can build, but don’t worry we can establish this for you. Your land zoning Your land or block size Your block street frontage How far from the road Any other affects like bushfire risk, flood risk etc. Call Kathy today for a free assessment of how we can assist you and building a granny flat. 0413 126 238 https://www.builtforliving.au/about-us daily 0.75 2025-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f0ba0844b82883c7cebf8b8/fb8ab6ee-4a36-464a-b9fc-8626b643af99/A+B+Peakhurst+Bowraville.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f0ba0844b82883c7cebf8b8/f6feced6-5942-4bb0-87f3-d97438e7368f/BFL+Trades+workers.jpg https://www.builtforliving.au/portfolio daily 0.75 2025-11-10 https://www.builtforliving.au/portfolio/decks-steps monthly 0.5 2025-08-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f0ba0844b82883c7cebf8b8/ed887707-393f-4360-898a-d91f319b1a63/Merbau+steps.jpg Portfolio -
