HOUSE

PLANS

THE

QUEENSLAND

HOUSING

COMMISSION. G, R E I D, Govern m e n t Printe r, Brill



•



INTRODUCTION...* TO have a house erected on land owned by a prospective home owner or on land

owned by the Commission an application should be m ade to the

Commission's H ea d Office, State Government Buildings, Anzac Square,

Brisbane, the Commission's District Offices at Rockhampton and Townsville

or to Clerks of Petty Sessions of other cities or towns. Leaflets of information

giving details of the Commission's H o m e Purchase S ch em es m ay be obtained

from those offices.

^v- APPLICANTS, by selecting a design shown in this booklet or any other plan o

which the Commission holds the tracing, are charged the m inimum fee for

plans and specifications as set out in the leaflet. However, applicants are not

limited to such plans and ma y have a plan prepared by the Commission in

which case the fee for the preparation of plans and specifications would be

(see leaflet) 2 per cent, of the contract price for the erection of the dwelling.

A privately prepared plan and specification ma y be submitted in which casean examination fee of 5s. per cent, of the contract price would be charged.

-$• WHERE privately prepared plans and specifications are submitted it is impo

for the applicant to ensure that the design is suitable to the site and can be

erected at a cost he can finance.

*«* THE designs in this booklet provide a fairly wide selection of dwellings s

to families requiring two or three bedroom homes . Although some of the

designs ma y not be considered modern they have been included in the

booklet for the reason of their popularity over the years and that they provide

good accommodation and durable construction at a reasonable cost.

"^ THE plans as drawn in the booklet may be reversed so that the right side as

bec ome s the left and vice versa. Similarly the plans as drawn or the reversed

plans m a y be rotated so that what is drawn as the front beco mes one of the

sides. M a n y of the designs are suitable for both high foundations with

laundry under the house or for low foundations with attached laundry. In

other cases the position of the laundry as s hown is suited to certain site

characteristics only and if such designs are selected for other types of sites,

then adjustments to the plans should be made. Materials for external sheeting

or internal linings and joinery patterns may be varied but changes in roofcoverings may require considerable variation from the drawings owing to the

necessity to provide construction and pitch adequate for the material

concerned. Cost will vary according to the materials used, the nature of

foundation work the value of equipment included in the house. In order

to reduce costs rant fence may be omitted and the prospective own er

m a y himself arrange to carry out the work of the dividing fencing, internal

painting and battening between stumps. H e m ay also carry out certain work

in connection with drainage.

# O M I S S I O N of fencing at the street alignment and the development of garden a nd

lawns, including the footpath, would give a mu c h more pleasing appearance

to the property.

Q THE intending owner's mode of living and personal preferences and the pecul

characteristics of a site will vitally affect the suitability of a design for a

particular location, e.g., a fine outlook in a limited direction could be

considered to be of greater importance than orientation to suit prevailing

breezes and climate. However, the exclusion of hot summer sun and of cold

south-westerly winds and the entry of winter sun and of north-easterly

breezes are predominant factors to be considered throughout Queensland.

Orientation of rooms should be related to the normal hours of use of the room,

generally preference of consideration being given to kitchens, other living

areas, bedrooms and other rooms in that order. Other factors to be considered

include slopes of ground, drainage, vehicular access, filling on the site, the

position of any sewers or drains which traverse the site, the accessibility cf

electricity, gas, water and sewerage, and requirements of the Local Authority.

Each Local Authority has its o w n buildinq By-laws which m a y be at variance

in respect of compulsory provision of septic tanks, minimum room sizes,

minimum ceiling heights and m inimum clearances between house and side

alignments.

"& THE index which follows shows the necessary minimum site widths for each

design of this booklet. These widths must be increased if a vehicle is to pass

between the house and fence, as distances are based on the minimum

permitted by the Brisbane City Council, for example, only 5 feet clearance

from eaves or wall to side alignment has been allowed for all sites wider than

48 feet.
