Utilising space
There are various ways we can configure the space under the staircase, sometimes we may leave it open to create a feeling of spaciousness, sometimes we may install a door for a storage area, think Harry potter or sometimes there may be sufficient space that it can be configured to include a small room like a study
Seen in the photo here from our recent Abbotsbury completion we have installed joinery to include storage cupboards

Our recent Abbotsbury renovation photo taken at dusk
A few features of note are the downlights on the front facade to create a beautiful ambience and the powdercoated aluminium shade devices over the windows which allow for the sun to enter during winter but cut the sun out when the sun is high in summer also helps us meet Basix compliance

What is a Prime cost allowance?
At the time of quotation or at the contract stage not every item will have been finally selected, an example of this maybe tap ware, floor tiles, door furniture or even larger items like kitchens.
A tap can be a low cost item or it can cost a lot of money depending on the clients tastes, budget or selection.
So what does all this add up to? Let’s say the Prime cost of an item in the inclusions Schedule is $1000. If, when you, the customer have chosen the actual item you want, it turns out the cost of that item is $1000, that’s what you’ll pay. If buying the model you choose only costs $800, the sum invoiced will be $200 less than your quote. If it costs $1200, you’ll be invoiced for $200 more than the quote, that’s how prime Costs work….almost
What you also need to know is that the contract you signed will almost certainly entitle the builder to charge a margin on top of the actual cost. The margin can be 20% or 30%. So, if you choose that $1200 item against the $1000 allowance, the most you can be additionally invoiced $200 for the increased cost over the Prime Cost and an additional margin of the 20% or 30% on that $200, that is how it works.

BASIX stands for Building Sustainability Index.
It is a sustainability assessment tool for residential buildings in NSW.
It mandates standards to achieve reductions in water and energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. BASIX applies to new houses and apartments, alterations and additions to residential developments.
What does that mean for your home addition?
Basix will set standards and design criteria and material selection for various parts of your build and is all part of the process we need to go through in the design process and as part of the council or CDC approval process
