Building with Sekisui our journey started last year upon
buying a old house in our area to knock down and rebuild on 4th July2013 then we
went on the journey to find a builder for our land and a house that would fit on
our 15.24 mtr x 48 mtr block, being that width was always going to be a issue.We
had been looking prior to buying and always love the Eden Brae and Metricon, the
problem was that every time we found a design we liked they said we had to make
it narrower, or go down to the size below and we didn't like that, we then
stumbled upon Sekisui , the sales consultants were great and weren't at all
pushy, they had time to talk and listened to what we wanted,they suggested the
new range the arise collection and said that we should look maybe at the acacia,
we fell for it straight away, it had every thing we wanted, principle suite at
the rear of the house, a room down stairs for my 17 year old daughter with
ensuite and walkin robe, alfresco and a big room for my son and his mates
upstairs , every one had there own space. We have made a ton of changes to give
it our own personal touch. So here is the dates and our journey
