We have been so busy this year - we have had 3 houses in the factory in the past 3 months. Smart Homes range introduced. As part of it's continuing drive towards innovation, Seacove Homes has introduced it's 'Smart Homes' range. We have developed 2 distinct types of plans as the starting point for designing your Seacove Home. These have been refined over the past 2 years so that our standard now is for Smart design features, making these plans not only simpler but also faster and therefore more economical to construct in our factory, as well as build on site. Go HERE to see the latest designs and prices. Queensland State revenue reforms and new building boost The 2011-12 Budget includes major revenue reforms and assistance packages, including a $10,000 Building Boost Grant for people building or buying new homes in Queensland. You can find out more about this great initiative by clicking HERE. CLEANTECH INDUSTRIES SUNSHINE COAST Cleantech Industries is an incorporated group of companies who are all based on the Sunshine Coast. They came together due to their concern and interest in either producing, designing or manufacturing in an environmentally friendly manner. Seacove Homes and Seacove Steel were invited to be involved right from beginning of the development of this group. This was due to the innovative nature of the Seacove Homes, their very low impact on the environment during manufacture as well as their low impact when they are delivered and erected on site. We continue to be actively involved with the group. The group is broken down into six sub sections representing different aspects of manufacture on the Sunshine Coast. They are as follows 1. Building, Materials and Services; 2. Architecture and Building Designs 3. Engineering and Scientific Consultancies 4. Waste and Water Management. 5. Printing 6. Energy and Energy Efficient Lighting One of the major benefits of the group is how the various members have started to support and work together bringing their specialist fields to produce eco-friendly solutions. Typically with the housing , the use of energy efficient lighting and solar power linked with water catchment and biocycle systems in the construction of new dwellings. We have several houses that encompass these different products and we will be featuring them in a future issue of the Homes News letters. The Sunshine Coast Cleantech Industries Group is now recognised by State and Federal Government as being one of the leading innovative and proactive manufacturing groups in the country.

Well it's been a while since our last newsletter - sorry, we've been busy! In this newsletter: we've broken another record! croaking our own trumpet? Greensmart Accreditation Up in time for Tea! When Matthew and Sally Bekkers children went off to school in the morning, little did they realise that they would be enjoying afternoon tea on the deck of their new home when they got back! 8:00am - crane on site: 4:20pm - tea on the deck: 4:47pm - time to call it a day: There are more photos of this property on the web site. This home was also designed with economy in mind: as it was inland away from the ocean, hot dipped galvanising was not required the frame height was set to 2400mm instead of the usual 2500mm. This will mean savings with gyproc and paint. Again, this illustrates the versatility of a Seacove Home. Another Award. Well, we must be doing something right, because we've picked up another award. This time from the Sunshine Coast Environmental Council (SCEC). We picked up the 2010 winner for Sustainable Innovation also known as the Froggies. Here's the award itself: and here's Colin Patience receiving it: For more information on the Froggies, go HERE. Greensmart Accreditation We are now officially Greensmart Professionals.

Wed, 24 Nov 2010 06:59:00 -0500http://archive.aweber.com/seacovehomes/12w79/h/Seacove_Homes_OPEN_HOUSE.htm OPEN HOUSE 161 Fenech Ave, Alligator Creek, Mackay, QLD 4740 Saturday 22nd May 2010 10.00am to 1.00pm This beautiful home is based on our Sarina floor plan and features 3 bedrooms plus study, spacious living with separate media/games area. The skillion roofs are made in panels resulting in raked ceilings throughout the home. Use of expansive covered decks increases outdoor living and maximise the stunning views Environmetally friendly and cost effective Using steel in construction means our Homes are termite and fire resistant and with steel having one of the highest strength to weight ratios of any building material, it is ideal for cyclone resistance. Using steel in a factory controlled environment means a much higher level of quality control can be maintained, waste minimized, landfill reduced, energy and resources saved, pollution reduced and production efficiency increased. All of which contributes to financial and environmental benefits. Design Your Own Our modular system allows each house to be custom designed to suit your site, the climate and individual requirements. We actively encourage our clients to be part of the design process. We offer a range of plans to get you started, and from there... the sky's the limit! Our friendly design team is always on hand to answer any questions or give advice, and to ensure you're as proud of your new Seacove Home as we are! Directions by car: From Mackay--head south on Bruce Hwy and turn left off Bruce Hwy at Hay Point Rd (approx 23kms south of Mackay) After 1.8kms take 2nd left to stay on Hay Point Road After 5.8kms turn right at Bensons Road Take 2nd right onto Fenech Ave From south turn right off Bruce Hwy at Hay Point Rd--and then follow directions above Please give us your feedback on the newsletter - we ARE interested!

Fri, 14 May 2010 22:00:04 -0400http://archive.aweber.com/seacovehomes/1sz6j/h/Seacove_Homes_Newsletter_March.htm Home of the Month - Alligator Creek, Mackay Although still under construction, we thought we'd show how quickly a Seacove Home can be erected. This photo was taken after only TWO DAYS on site! As you can see, all flooring and roofing to the living areas has been completed. Another interesting feature that illustrates Seacove Homes' versatility is that the customer wanted to clad the exterior walls themselves. This reduces time in the factory and thus means a quicker delivery and allows a wider range of cladding. This home is based on our popular Sarina plan but with an additional two modules that provide a large games/media room and a laundry with a separate W.C. The living area, master bedroom and games room all have ocean views. You can look at the floor plan by clicking HERE. We are hoping to have an Open Day at this property later in the year. Further details will be in a future newsletter. Owner Builder Magazine This national magazine recently published an article by Di Porter and her experiences Owner Building her Seacove Home. It is in issue 157 February/March 2010. To find out more about The Owner Builder magazine, visit their web site HERE. Di has also set up Owner Builder Assist, a company dedicated to helping other Owner Builders on the Sunshine coast build their dream home. You can visit her site by clicking HERE. New bushfire regulations As reported in our last newsletter new Bushfire regulations came into force in QLD in Oct 2009. We have just started work in our factory on a large 2 storey home which has a high bushfire rating. Being a steel based home the only additional requirements have been that all the glazing has had to be toughened glass (with metal screens on all opening windows), and claddings are now going to be a mix of custom orb and fibre cement sheet with aluminium cover battens to compliment the clear anodised windows. This home should be well underway on site in early June and we will hopefully feature some photos of this home later in the year. Again, this illustrates the versatility of a Seacove Home. It's About Time [ Part 2 ] In a recent article in the Queensland Master Builders magazine, they showed the differences in building costs for various parts of the country. You can see the Queensland section of the report by clicking HERE. Whilst the report is based on a fairly standard 200m2 brick veneer house, the report shows that labour and materials make up the bulk of the costs. Freight costs are a close second, generally increasing the further north you go. We have always said at Seacove that for any given home, the planning and design stage and the fit out times will be similar. However, a Seacove Home scores in 2 areas: With a time to lockup typically of 7 to 10 days, on-site labour is reduced dramatically. Seacove have now perfected getting more components on a single extendible semi-trailer. For example, a typical 300m2 property used to need seven trucks to deliver the components, but now it only needs three and a flatbed. Both of these innovations save you money in the long term. Remember that the pre-fabricated buildings you see on the highway usually need escorts, pilots and outriggers - all of which contribute to the cost. In addition, a Seacove home will be able to be delivered to sites where these pre-fabricated ones will not. Please give us your feedback on the newsletter - we ARE interested!

Fri, 19 Mar 2010 00:55:03 -0400http://archive.aweber.com/seacovehomes/28QBw/h/Seacove_Homes_Newsletter.htm In this months newsletter: New Gallery on the website The Diani plan and prices New Bushfire Regs New Gallery on Website The website gallery has been updated again. It now shows photos of 'The Davies House'. This striking home was recently built in Riordanvale, near Airlie Beach, QLD. The home is based on a simple 7 living modules in a row, a double sized deck with a triple carport (294 sq m). This home was fully clad with Dune custom orb and finished with a Woodland grey roof, fascias and gutters making this home not only low maintenance but able to withstand cyclones. All windows in the property are louvers, either glass or timber, set into powder coated black window frames making them ideally suited for the tropical climate. An unusual feature from the construction side is that although the house is on a steeply sloping site, the builder constructed an engineered retaining wall the length of the house and we were able to fabricate a system to connect our bearers directly onto this wall. This wall meant the concrete slab of the carport was retained and there was a level threshold into the home without the need for steps. As you can see from the photos the home has been finished beautifully with hardwood flooring throughout the living, bedroom and study area and classic tiling to all wet areas. The focal point of the living space is a large stunning white and stainless steel family kitchen with an island bench that comfortably sits 6 people, and has up to 20 gathered round when entertaining is in full swing. Go HERE to view the gallery Back to Top The Diani House Plan Due to the huge number of people who asked for details of the Porter House, we have created the Diani. A new floor plan with perspectives will soon to be included in our Designer range with 2 different rooflines (Versions A and B). As with all our designs, the internal layout can be changed to suit your individual requirments and the whole plan can be mirrored, with decks positioned to maximise outdoor living. Go HERE to find out more. Back to Top News New Bushfire Regs From 1 October 2009, Queensland will be adopting the new revised Australian Standard AS 3959-2009 Construction of buildings in bushfire-prone areas. All building applications for Class 1, 2, 3 and associated Class 10a buildings in a local government designated bushfire area will need to be designed and built in accordance with the new standard. This will apply to building applications made after 1st. October 2009. The primary changes to the standard are: a. The method of determining a Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) for a site has been revised and now comprises six categories. b. The standard includes a step-by step procedure, including tables that list climate, slope of ground and vegetation variations in states and territories. c. The standard has been re-organised into group-specific construction requirements. d. Attached and associated structures, such as garages, have now also been included. What should you do? a. Contact your local council to determine if the proposed building work is located within a designated bushfire area. b. If the proposed building works are situated in a designated bushfire area, contact your Building Certifier and Building Designer to determine and quantify the Bushfire Attack Level (BAL). c. Ensure that all your estimates and quotations for building work in a designated bushfire area are based on the actual design requirements/group-specific construction requirements as stated within the new standard. Further information can be found HERE. Back to Top That's all for this month.

Tue, 07 Jul 2009 19:53:06 -0400http://archive.aweber.com/seacovehomes/24GPx/h/Seacove_Homes_Newsletter_May.htm Hi, welcome to this months newsletter. It's about time There are three main phases in building your new home: The pre-construction phase. This is where designs are finalised, soil tests are carried out, submission to council takes place etc. For any given block, the time taken to get this work done will be very similar whoever you build with. The construction phase to lock-up. I'll come back to this in a minute. The fit-out phase. This is where the electricians, plumbers, gyprockers etc. descend on the property and make it habitable. Again, for any given design, the time taken to complete this will be similar. So let's go back to phase 2 - construction to lockup. The time taken to complete this can vary enormously depending on the construction methods. As the other phases are pretty constant, this is the phase where the time blow-outs can occur. At Seacove homes we: pre-build our houses in the factory fit the exterior cladding install windows and doors construct the roof panels with soffits already fitted create the deck modules with the decking already fixed etc. etc. This means that once we get on site we have drastically cut the amount of time need to get to lock-up. A typical Seacove home takes 2 WEEKS to go from delivery to lock-up. Add approximately 10 - 12 weeks in the factory and you end up with a construction period of around three and a half months. When you're shopping round for quotes, ask them how long they expect the construction phase to last. If you ordered a Seacove Home now, you'd be in by Christmas. Could another builder do that? Also, if it's about time, it'll be about money too. Seacove's Homes' construction system will actually save you money: less time paying rent whilst the home is built paying less to hire on-site equipment like toilets and scaffolding as we don't build on slabs there are minimum excavations required, saving the hire of expensive earth moving equipment less time living with the in-laws (I know this isn't directly to do with money, but it's worth it's weight in gold...) Only high winds stop us from working - as it would other builders, and we very rarely get rained off. (Do you know how many days of rain there per year in Queensland? The Average annual and monthly days of rain from the BOM will tell you.) So when you get those quotes, don't just look at the figures on the page - ask how long it'll take. You might be surprised! Another Seacove Homes initiativeWe are considering making a change from our normal construction methodology and would like your feedback on it. Basically, the home would be delivered in component form. This means that, for example, floor frames would have holes drilled for bolts and lugs already welded onto them. You would be supplied with a set of diagrams and would construct the various house sections yourself. Most sections can be managed by two or three people prior to items like cladding, decking and roofing being attached. These would be attached in-situ. This differs from a kit in that all the materials are cut to length and any cleats or bearers etc. are attached in the factory. Any holes for bolts etc. are also pre-drilled in the factory. As a consequence, you get the home cheaper, but have to spend more time on it. Before we go too far with this idea, we would like our newsletter readers to tell us if this is something that they might be interest in. You can click HERE to send us an email with your thoughts. Is it worth building a 'green' home? As you probably know, Seacove Homes is proud of it's green credentials in areas like reduced impact on the physical environment by using posts, not cut and fill, raising the buildings off the ground and the use of insulation. Carbon emissions are significantly reduced by fewer journeys to individual sites delivering construction materials. (Find out more by reading our Environmental Impact Factsheet.) It would appear that going green makes sound, financial sense: environmentally friendly homes are starting to demand a premium. In a recent article in the Master Builder Magazine they cite examples from overseas and in Australia showing that the biggest influence on a property was still 'location, location, location'. However, environmental considerations are now above other factors such as gardens and fitted kitchens. It states that nearly 50% of survey respondents put energy saving after deciding a location. In the USA, environmentally certified homes sold for 6% more and stayed on the market for 24% less time than comparable homes. Green homes certified by a third party sold for 10.5% more. Closer to home, realestate.com.au found that 11% of people are prepared to pay up to 20% more for a green home. In addition, 73% believed having environment friendly features makes a dwelling more saleable. In the same article, the Real Estate Institute of Australia found that some of the features that were most likely to enhance the value of a property were: water tanks solar heating and hot water water saving fittings 5 star energy rated appliances So, like it or not, being green is the way of the future. No comment! We're up for it - again! As you may know, Seacove Homes won the regional award for the best individual house in one of the 2008 Master Builders Housing and Construction Award categories. We are pleased to announce that our Sarina home in Eumundi has been put forward for a 2009 regional award. Judging will take place at the end of May and winners will be revealed in July.

Tue, 26 May 2009 01:26:12 -0400http://archive.aweber.com/seacovehomes/1q8_p/h/Seacove_Homes_Newsletter_April.htm What are you waiting for? In a recentnewspaper article, Kevin McLoud, of television's Grand Designs says that there is no better time to build than now. So is he right? Let's have a look at the facts: 1. Interest rates are at their lowest for decades making mortgages and housing loans more affordable as opposed to income from savings which are yielding a lower return. 2. Land prices are at an all time low. 3. Super funds have dropped through the floor. (Build an investment property and rent it out!) 4. There are a lot of builders and subbies out there hungry for work. 5. Property has ALWAYS been profitable in the long run. 6. The government grants for first time buyers is making the property sector more buoyant enabling people to move up the property chain 7. Relaxation of restrictive building covenants is making building a Seacove Home even easier - see below... There really is too much doom and gloom out there. Now IS a good time to build. Things to ask... When you get a quote for a home, ask the following questions. (Use our Sample Inclusions List as a reference.) Is all exposed steel Hot Dipped Galvanised? Ours is. What thickness sub floor posts are used? Ours are 4mm What materials are the bearers and joists and at what spacings? What timescales are quoted? We offer 10-12 weeks in the factory and approximately 2 weeks erection to lockup What cladding is available We use an extensive range of quality Australian products - all with manufacturer's warranties. What about window supplier? We use G. James andLifestyle who both give 7 year warranties What about flooring? We supply yellow tongue for main areas and cement board in all shower areas. What is the square meterage cost of fabricated components rather than just a 'kit' of loose materials? Why build a Seacove Home? Building a Seacove Home can save you money in the long run. For example: We can design and engineer our Homes for steep slopes and the modular nature means minimal site equipment e.g. scaffolding is required. Because we don't build on slabs means no large scale excavations - saving you money. Also, minimal environmental impact is achieved - which has to be good.. Each home is erected in the factory ensuring every component will fit correctly once on-site thus saving you and/or your builder time and, consequently, money. Items are delivered 'made to measure' massively reducing waste and landfill which benefits us all in the long run. Durable Steel structure means Seacove Homes are: Strong and true Fire resistant Termite resistant Low maintenance These all mean long term savings for you!. Sustainable Housing For too long, it seems, certain developers have been able to impose their, sometimes arbitrary, covenants on the properties they allow to be built. This has resulted in people being encouraged (forced?) to build oversized houses, for example, because there is a stipulation that the block HAS to be covered by a certain percentage of building. Not being able to build on posts is another. As is not allowing solar hot water systems on the roof! We all want a good standard of building in our neighbourhood, but some of the restrictions are petty and sometimes positively detrimental. Queensland Government has recognised that these issues need to be addressed and has published a Building Newsflash which details some of the proposed changes. You can read moreHERE.
