Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Coral Homes general build thread 7941Mar 11, 2017 3:43 pm The web Clipsal appointment was great for anyone who is trying to book in. Be prepared, give it thought before and have a rough plan ready to go and you'll be fine. Our electrical plan was a bit complex and I still found the appointment fine. The other good thing is you get a 'cooling off period' if you do it via web and phone, so you can revise for a day or so, where as in person I believe you sign off on it on the day and that's it.

I went to work while D did it. How did it go? I ended up delaying making the appointment so many times that now they aren't taking any more appointments at the Varsity Office! How/Where are they doing the appointments now? We haven't heard from them and can't get hold of them. Getting annoyed as it has been a month since we signed the contract and haven't heard a word from them!

They are still holding appointments at Varsity but are fully booked for the next 2 months. I have been told my best options are going to their Brisbane office or over the phone. Have you paid your deposit? Once we paid our $5k deposit Clipsal, National and Beaumont Tiles contacted us. The $5k is in addition to the $1750.[/quote]you can do it online too Re: Coral Homes general build thread 7944Mar 11, 2017 7:49 pm MrsJM The web Clipsal appointment was great for anyone who is trying to book in.
