Building a new home in Schofields NSW

Schofields is not a suburb of detached houses on quarter acre lots. It recorded 74 unit sales against 53 house sales in a single quarter, and the building stock reflects that: townhouses, terraces and attached dwellings alongside freestanding homes. For an inspection that changes the work rather than just the price. Party walls bring damp proof course continuity, fire separation and rated sealant at every service penetration, none of which a standalone house presents and all of which vanish behind linings.

FAQ

Building a new home in Schofields NSW: common questions

Which stages matter on a townhouse?

Lock-up above all, because that is where party wall detail, fire separation and damp proof course continuity are visible. After that, waterproofing and handover.

Is a townhouse cheaper to inspect?

Usually, because there is less of it. The detail is more particular, though, so the time saved is smaller than the floor area suggests.

Who is my builder answerable to?

You, for your lot. For common property it is the developer and eventually the body corporate, which is why we establish the boundary first.
