VY Built’s custom builders in Adelaide recommend you take a few points into consideration before confirming plans. The first of these is proximity—think carefully about whether the local community is fit for you. Are there facilities and resources to accommodate your lifestyle? Do you have access to public transport? Are you near a noisy sporting ground? Comfort often depends on who, and what you surround yourself with. Another thing to consider is the orientation of the block. The popular preference is to have your yard facing North, because this optimises afternoon sunlight. It also enables better ‘solar access’ for increased energy efficiency. If you’re a keen gardener, another thing you’ll want to check is the soil composition and quality. It’s also worthwhile to find out whether the area is subject to flooding or bushfires. Our advice stems from experience, so you can trust our custom house builder Adelaide.
