Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Jun 21, 2015 12:16 pm [*] hi everyone, new to the forum. It's so exciting reading all your stories and seeing your builds go up through homegroup:) We are building a modified version of the Bordeaux in Ellenbrook. On Friday 20th we received our construction liaisons details:) so wondering how long everything has taken everyone? Generally how long does it take for earthworks and slab? Feeling so excited; Re: HGWA; Start of Construction Ellenbrook 2Jun 21, 2015 2:08 pm Heya ABINMATT! A very warm welcome to homeone! I think you will find huge variations in time frames throughout your build coz all dependent on availability of trades, weather, and any hiccups along the way! Does receiving construction liasons mean that everything is signed off and youre ready to rock and roll? Keep a look out for a sign and a tap and youre on your way!! Good luck..it is a super excitng ride- just dont forget your seatbelt!!! Hehehe!!! Re: HGWA; Start of Construction Ellenbrook 3Jun 21, 2015 2:13 pm Thanks Rache Yea apparently it's all ready to go we have all our building permits and its out of admin. HGWA have been great so far; so currently we are at least a month ahead of schedule... They just never like to give dates. I am really hoping we are lucky and have a smooth run:) will def keep a look out haha Re: HGWA; Start of Construction Ellenbrook 4Jun 21, 2015 3:05 pm Hi ABINMATT, we are building in Ellenbrook too with HGWA. For us, notification of Earthworks Stage to actual Earthworks on site commencement was about 1 wk Scheduled slab date was about 5 days after completion of earthworks. Good luck with your build.
