I'm building in Clarinda Park - stage 8. Just wanted to say hi! Haven't started building yet even though titles came out a while ago but hopefully soon! Hi there. We built our first home in ambrosia. Love the area. Are you over near the school and shops? Re: Fairhaven Homes Newport 361 in Sth East Melbourne 142Nov 01, 2016 4:38 pm Been given a site start of 14th November. Not long to go now!! ?? Would anyone who built through Fairhaven know if we need to mow the lawns first or if they just come in with the bobcat to level and it doesn't matter??

That's great news Kat - do you know who your SS is? We gave the block a run over with the brushcutter so that the sitecutter could determine the ground level.

Guess we'll find out this week. That's a good point on the grass. Ours is pretty short but at the back is probably knee height. We're not building on that part of the block but should probably cut it to be safe ?

Re: Fairhaven Homes Newport 361 in Sth East Melbourne 151Nov 03, 2016 6:31 am I originally signed up with Metricon last year in November but they screwed me over so I had to cancel the contract. Going with Beachwood constructions now, just waiting to sign the contract.

Going with Beachwood constructions now, just waiting to sign the contract. Oh that's not good at all. We were trying to decide between metricon and Fairhaven. Glad you've got it all sorted now!

Re: Fairhaven Homes Newport 361 in Sth East Melbourne 160Nov 04, 2016 7:25 pm You must be a tad excited!! Hopefully you will be at lockup by Xmas. My SC got in contact with me to let me know that my facade will have to be trimmed because it was going to take me over 60% block coverage. He said they could trim it but that would mean the front porch would only be 20cm which will look silly with 3 piers. I don't like any of the other facades and none of the other plans suit my needs. Back to the drawing board for me . Feel really bad, my SC has put in lot of effort trying to get me what I want and they have a great product but it is a lot of money to spend on a house I'm not totally satisfied with. Happy to forgo my $750 deposit. Going to speak to Henley/Arden(would love a Tesla) tomorrow they both have plans that work for me, hopefully one of them can give me what I want within budget. I now understand why people say building is stressful. May I ask why you chose not to use GJ Gardiner? I'm actually meeting with one of the sales guys tomorrow for an appointment.
