Hi Hildzy, Hope you don't get a SS like mine during the early stages of the build. If it is double story then I would say Jan next year but if you are going with a single story then by Dec you should be in. I have just sent you the email. Cheers, M

normally builders do add extra site costs on top of the basic allowance..I had to pay 38k in site costs...and 6500 in additional BASIX costs.. just check with the builder that no extra site costs or BASIX would be charged once the construction starts..
