Mine took about 4 months and I was super pushing admin to getting quick start on site without taking a lot of time on selecting upgrades and all... I think it will normally take about 5 months....
It is also mainly because of all he approval you need from third party to go to the next stage like basix, DA approval, council or CDC approval and all.... best of luck
thanks Mike, your comments have been very useful! have you found that you have been asked to pay extras for variations?
Yah you have to pay for the extra upgrades you choose...
