Browse Forums Building A New House Re: our first build with 8 homes-s4.2 9Nov 23, 2014 12:33 am Our land was already titled when we purchased it. So was a smooth process. Was subject to finance. After we got bank approval settlement happend in 3weeks. from what i can see around me and other ppls builds in alarah, once you settle n have titles it's go go from there...! I have made a few friends here n neighbors are all fab.. my cousin and hubby"s co worker also build here just around the corner from us. We would meet up for coffee n go for walks after work.. !!! I dont have a recent pic of our house but heres one just before handover..

I love ur facade which is just stunning. and the decking is awesome as well. even we are planning to do it ourselves. how much did it cost you do that? Total for DIY decking $450 compared to $1000 from decking guy. Hubby had no idea aswell.. he watched a few you tube channels and headed out to masters and came back with the woods and materials.. i was suprised he pulled it off. Looks amazing. Re: our first build with 8 homes-s4.2 13Nov 24, 2014 4:45 am hi justheart yesterday I drove past your house the picture doesnt do justice to your actual house. you have really got a beautiful house I love it. and the decking , your husband has done a great job for reasonable price. as you mentioned I liked the estate and the atmosphere, nice and calm. Re: our first build with 8 homes-s4.2 14Nov 24, 2014 4:51 am yay.. had a chance to view my block of land for the first time. was very happy couldnt stop imagining how beautifully my house is going to sit on that block of land. Re: our first build with 8 homes-s4.2 15Nov 24, 2014 4:56 am can anyone tell me how much would it cost me to upgrade from a normal 40mm edge ceaserstone benchtop to waterfall benchtop. after looking at so many kitchen pictures in this forum I couldnt resist my liking towards it Re: our first build with 8 homes-s4.2 16Nov 25, 2014 7:57 pm Welcome jang25 your colour selections look great. I wonder how close you will be to us there are a couple of blocks they are preparing behind us for the alarah estate. I liked the thicker bench top look as well but I couldn't justify paying extra just for the end part to look bigger when the whole stone isnt that big. Whatever you choose will look great Re: our first build with 8 homes-s4.2 17Nov 25, 2014 10:31 pm Hi sapphire thankx. I think so I am close by bcoz last time we went through casiana grove to have a look at our block. It is the only way we can go at the moment. I jus had a quick look at ur thread. U ve got a really nice and big house. Awsome colour selection. My fav is ur bathroom tiles and ur carpet. Looks like ur gonna move in soon. Wish u gud luck. Re: our first build with 8 homes-s4.2 18Nov 26, 2014 8:27 am Thanks jang, did you drive down to the round about and the land entrance is the gate? Aw thank you we are so happy everything goes well together its hard to picture in colour selection and then wait 6 months to see what it all looks like together lol. Yes hopefully move in early December. Our pci is today . Will be watching your thread to see how your build goes, good luck and hopefully you wont have to many hiccups Re: our first build with 8 homes-s4.2 19Nov 26, 2014 9:37 am Nice color selections jang25, with your flooring selection we also have manhattan floors and wished we had upgraded to a better one! If you spill any water on it wipe it up straight away otherwise it'll wrap your flooring! Someone's always spilling water near the kitchen area and some of the boards feels like it's lifting up when you walk on it... but apart from that good luck with your build and post photos when you get a chance! Second Build, this time with Carlisle 2016, can't wait!
