Mountain Retreat Project

We have just received pics from our client at Springbrook, who built a lovely mountain retreat in the Gold Coast hinterland.

This home was able to be located & built within the trees, because of Ezy Homes low site impact.

This home is truly amongst the gum trees

You can view more pics of this home on their Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/TreeFernRetreat
   

First Ezy Home in W.A. about to start

Our first home to be built in W.A. has been council approved - so construction will be starting shortly.  This project is a custom "Coolum 1" design being built at Mullaloo Beach (north Perth).

This particular site has sandy soil, which made a steel pole home the obvious choice.  Ezy Homes are suitable for all soil types from sand to solid rock.

The builder for this Mullaloo Beach project, Adroit Constructions, is available to build Ezy Homes all over W.A.  Ezy Homes takes care of the design, drafting, engineering, fabrication & supply of the structural steel frame.

We are using this first project to establish production & supply from Perth, to minimise delivery costs for this home - as well as for our other W.A. clients.

We are currently talking to/are drafting plans for clients in Perth, Bunbury, Esperance & Kalbarri.  Talk to Ezy Homes about your Western Australia new home project.

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.

High raking ceilings are a feature of Ezy Homes

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.
