25.01.2022 Call us old fashioned if you like, but there's something solid and reliable about a newsletter. So we are very pleased that our inaugural Sloping Block Solutions Newsletter is up and happening. We would be delighted with any feedback or suggestions for our next issue!

25.01.2022 Blocks That Rise From The Road: If you’re looking at a block of land that rises away from the road, then your #custom builder will generally suggest a design that will incorporate a garage underneath and the house built above. And if you’re going to put a garage underneath, then why not place another room under there as well? This is an ideal location for a theatre or a rumpus room, a gym or a study; areas where people can either get away to be quiet, or where they can be noisy without interfering with the remainder of the house. http://bit.ly/1h1tQOz

23.01.2022 Did you know that we have an amazing 15% discount on double glaze windows for any new customers who go under contract with us by December 24th? If you're wondering what the value of double glazing is, wonder no more. Just ask the Sloping Block Professor http://blog.slopingblocksolutions.com.au/what-windows-are-/

21.01.2022 Welcoming a new baby into the family is joyous... and is often a reason to re-evaluate your current home. Is it big enough? What are your options? In our opinion, one option is usually the best one. Read on! http://blog.slopingblocksolutions.com.au/our-home-isnt-big/

21.01.2022 On a rising block, place the garage under the house. With a falling block, you may need to build the back of the garage up. You want a driveway that is safe and negotiable not only by car but by foot.

21.01.2022 When it comes to #slopingblocks, creativity is absolutely necessary. Your design needs to incorporate the big picture, including outside living areas, #driveway and garage. Plans that are based on a set home design, or a mirror image of that design, are not going to provide the kind of flexibility and tailor made solutions that maximise the useability of a sloping block. However, if you ally yourself with a #builder who has plenty of strings to their bow, you will potentially have one of the loveliest homes-with-a-view in your preferred location. http://bit.ly/1ksSvf8 image from cyberbia.org

21.01.2022 A Custom Builder will design your home based on your block of land, its aspect and unique attributes, your family requirements and (most of all) your budget. They will start the process with a blank sheet of paper, not a preconceived design where the block of land is modified to suit the house rather than the other way around. http://blog.slopingblocksolutions.com.au/sloping-block-bui/

20.01.2022 Happy New Years from Sloping Block Solutions! Enjoy the fireworks! (And remember, the view is always better from a sloping block...)

19.01.2022 Ah Google. It’s a wonderful tool but it’s a bit like throwing your net into the waters; you have to have a good look at what comes up and decide what to keep and what to toss back. So when you have a sloping block, or a block with significant fall, and you do a Google search for sloping block builders in Melbourne, it’s going to pull up some Specialist Custom builders but it’s also going to pull up Volume Builders with no expertise in sloping blocks except knowing how to dig a hole and bury a house in it. And it will pull up everything in between. http://bit.ly/1cjEJUU

18.01.2022 If a home is very close to completion, builders will try hard to complete the job prior to Christmas. Most builders want to get projects off the books, finalised, and paid for. If this is not possible, then it is important to be aware that the chance of vandalism can increase over this period, when no one is around. So speak to your builder prior to Christmas. Ask what they anticipate will happen, and consult with them in regards to anything that may benefit the state of the project during this period.

11.01.2022 On a block that rises from the road, place the garage under the house if possible; or if not under, at least drop the garage floor lower than the house floor level. This will minimise the steepness of the driveway and improve access. http://blog.slopingblocksolutions.com.au/driveways-on-a-sl/

11.01.2022 Juz a bit of humour... The son of a builder is approaching his sixth birthday and his father asks him what he’d like as a present. ‘What I really want is a baby brother,’ says the boy. ‘Sorry, son,’ says the father. ‘Your birthday is five days away, I really can’t get you a baby brother in that time.’ The son replies, ‘Can’t you do what you do at work and put more men on the job?’

11.01.2022 Are you are better off building your dream home from scratch, or buying an existing house and renovating it to suit your needs? The Sloping Block Professor gives 7 powerful reasons why building a new home may serve you better than trying to re-create a house that already exists. Watch our posts for A-Reason-A-Day, or get them all in one at http://blog.slopingblocksolutions.com.au/7-reasons-buildin/ Reason #7 Last but not least, New Houses are better built. Much better. Building standards have improved enormously in recent years, now incorporating 6 star energy efficiency, and double glazed windows. Double glazed windows will make a house more comfortable, far beyond most people’s expectations.

05.01.2022 Any sloping block is likely to have some aspect worth taking advantage of, even if it’s just a view of tree tops (which definitely beats looking out of your front windows into someone else’s front windows.) http://blog.slopingblocksolutions.com.au/sloping-block-bui/
