- In this video, we explain the building process for a 128-square-metre, 3-bedroom house built on a subdivided section here in Upper Hutt. We'll show you timelapse footage of the house being constructed. I'll walk you through the design and floor plan of the project, and we'll discuss elements of the build in detail. Keep watching until the end of the video to see the finished home and if you want more videos like this please consider subscribing!
The company James Hardy rings a bell. They built asbestos into walls and that affected their employees and DIYers who ended up with lung cancer several years later. James Hardy moved their operations and finance conveniently out of Australia and into the United States. They featured on the news in Australia where the government was looking at compensation for health issues caused by this company.
If someone wanted to build 3 of these on the same site what kind of savings can they expect?
Great video! Really helps me being an apprentice cheers
love the videos bro and the detail you give on plans
Another great video. Thanks!
A suggestion. You have some wonderful segments to help people thinking through these, and other, sorts of projects. Providing those segments through a separate, member-type channel would help guide them in their thinking and understanding. It could also provide direct contact with your team, and enable you to pre-qualify and engage with prospects. Keep up the great channel!
Was it much more expensive to build the wooden walls compared to pre-fab?
Enjoyed the video, very imaginative design, and great use of such limited space. That house would be a harder (not impossible of course) sell around here for a few reasons. The single car garage would be an immediate issue, because practically everyone has a least two (often three or more) cars. Plus, the design has very limited outdoor space, and a really confined feeling being so hemmed in on three sides. The long driveway is interesting, but I certainly wouldn't want to shovel it after a heavy snowfall! Plus every room is so small (that living room is condo sized!) For a single person, a young couple, or for empty nesters, I guess it could work, but there's no way most young families with growing kids would prefer that house. I imagine you couldn't put a second level (in order to put at least a couple bedrooms upstairs in order to increase the size of the living room, master bedroom, ensuite and increased closet space, not to mention allowing space for a second spot in the garage) wasn't allowed? The majority of houses in NZ seem to be single story for some reason, perhaps that is just my impression).
What is a ball park figure for what you have to pay Councils? And how do the different Wellington councils differ in charges?
Great video. It's there a reason you use pink batts over the terra Lina wool blend insulation? Personally I like to see more and more rental properties being built. There is such a massive shortage of rentals. Well at least where I live anyways
Great video, where/how can I get this floor plan?
G'day Josh, but do you guys ever build with SIPS?
Things must have changed a lot in the last 30 years. I was working for a builder in the early 90's and we were building 3 - 4 bedroom houses for Initial homes in 3.5 - 4 weeks. I understand you had Covid related delays with this but is it really taking that long to build a house these days? I'm just about to order a 2 storey kitset to put on my bit of land in the country, I hope like hell it doesn't take this long to build.
Square meters or skweemeetees?
Soooo you take away someone backyard to build another house. That's crazy to me, do the owners of the original lot get compensation for this?
The land is subdivided the owner either sells the land or builds on it and sells or rents the house
