Mt Crosby Project - Week 8 Update

Our owner/builder client at Mt Crosby has been keeping us up to date with progress of his new home construction.  We previously posted lock-up pics - reached after 4 weeks.

Now after 8 weeks, the external cladding is complete, plumbing & electrical rough-ins have been completed,  and internal walls have been plastered.

Construction Update Mt Crosby Project

Here are a few pics we recently received from one of our Owner/Builder clients, building a custom "Outlook" at Mt Crosby.

With the help of a couple of local carpenters, this house has reached lock-up stage in 4 weeks.

Too busy to blog!

We've had another huge year at Ezy Homes - breaking all previous sales records.  We've been so busy designing and supplying custom steel pole homes that we haven't had time to update our blog.

In case anyone think's we've forgotten to update the blog, here are a couple of pics of a current project at Mitchelton, Brisbane (Laguna design).  Plus the promise to put more regular updates & info onto this blog.

Split Level Home: A case study

PROJECT: Cornubia, Brisbane

LAND :  602m2 "battle-axe" shape, with a 4:1 slope up from the road, in bushfire zone overlay, and in steep slope overlay

BRIEF:  To design a large family home, with 2 car lock-up garage, 4 bedrooms - master to have ensuite, rumpus room, office, open plan living, and outdoor decking.

Other client requirements included internal access to the garage, and a request to keep stairs to a minimum.

In designing a home of this size, with the limitations of the land shape and size, plus local council's maximum height restriction of 8.5m, a split level design was deemed the most practical solution.

This client wanted a modern looking home with skillion roof/s.  Ezy Homes standard "Outlook" was used as the starting point for the custom designed home.

This project provides an excellent example of how Ezy Homes standard plans are used as the starting point for clients to develop a design that suits their own building site, personal requirements, and personal preferences.

One key benefit of Ezy Home's pole home construction system is the need for minimal earthworks.  In the case of this project, a retaining wall was required to create the 6m x 8m garage.  A small retaining wall was built at the rear of the property in order the keep the building under maximum allowable height.

Because all of the house frame components are pre-cut & pre-drill specifically for each project, the process of frame erection is very simple and fast - even on steep & difficult building sites.  This frame was erected in just one day.

In total, it took a total 5 weeks to reach lock-up stage - that is to, erect the frame kit (floors down & roof on), frame and brace the walls, fit the cladding and soffits.  This project uses a mixture of Hardie's Panel Clad sheeting & Primeline weatherboards.

Holland Park Project Update

It's always pleasing to receive progress photos from our owner/builder clients - especially when the clients have done a great job, as is the case with a recent project at Holland Park.

This house is a good example of how a well managed owner/builder project can result in a high quality home.

Construction started in early November and was built to lock-up stage by Elan Projects.  Now, 3 months later, the house is 99% complete - and looking great!

This "Moreton" has been extended and modified to suit the clients requirements, and features an impressive entrance & staircase, large open plan living, and decks that lead out to their beautiful new swimming pool.

Photos of this project under construction can be found below - in an earlier blog post.

A BBQ at Ted & Antonia's

Having recently completed their "Coolum" Ezy Home on Coochiemudlo Island (as Owner/Builders), Ted & Antonia Knezevic invited the Ezy Homes office staff to lunch and a chance to see their lovely home.

Last Friday (the 20th) some of the Ezy Homes team enjoyed a lovely BBQ lunch, drinks, and even a dip in the new pool.

It is always Ezy Homes goal to reach the end of a project and have happy clients living in a beautiful home.  It's even more pleasing when our clients invite us to share in their "pride & joy".

We'd like to thank our hosts Ted & Antonia for an enjoyable afternoon in such a lovely location.

Here are some photos of the Knezevic's new home:
