Instead we got a request on Thursday from M to ask our next door neighbor if they can have access to their property and dig a hole to do a probe test to check the footing of there extension. The extension is build to the boundary and M has know about this. They even charge me for extra under pinning and a long retaining wall. I have glad that they are been cautious and not damaging the neighbor's property during the build. But why on earth didn't they ask for access a month or two months ago when I handed over the site. Why ask on the second last day of approval. So frustrated with M. It's not like that didn't know that they had to do this. Got told on last Friday that contractor will do the work next Thursday and would take another week to for the report. This means I have to wait another two weeks for M to seek permit approval. I am getting upset over nothing? My KDR Metricon Hampshire - Liberty - 45 Melb 416Apr 23, 2017 11:44 pm Renman Update: We didn't get permit approval from M this week as discussed.

I am getting upset over nothing? That sucks. But you know what that's m for ya. I just found out today from an assistant manager of dicaps that there is a shortage on tradies. And therefor the tradies are charging double. And all builders are struggling for tradies. To me I just think there's too many houses getting build in vic and that's why they are struggling. It's more like they are taking too many houses on. But not enough tradies for them. I'm starting to think. That maybe this is done purposely with delays. Because they haven't got enough tradies. And they don't want To tell people that. viewtopic.php?t=86597 Re: My KDR Metricon Hampshire - Liberty - 45 Melb 417Apr 23, 2017 11:53 pm Doulton777 Renman Update: We didn't get permit approval from M this week as discussed.

That way they have lock in income for the next week/year. Re: My KDR Metricon Hampshire - Liberty - 45 Melb 418Apr 24, 2017 12:01 am Hi Renman, What will be the most expensive upgrade for you so far? We went to the Somerset display home, it is a fantastic house but the price 1.3 mil is way over our budget. Then we went to the Hampshire display is also very good. We are just not sure with budget of 650k how good can the house be. Can M tell you a proper quote before you pay the 5k design fees?

Can't say much about the rest. viewtopic.php?t=86597 Re: My KDR Metricon Hampshire - Liberty - 45 Melb 420Apr 24, 2017 9:37 am aujahua Hi Renman, What will be the most expensive upgrade for you so far?

If you are wanting to spend $650, the option is to keep the Hampshire layout and facade but visit the Liberty or something from the Freedom range. As those house with all its upgrade are around your budget. Message be directly and I can assist if you need. The biggest challenge will be if you take out a loan and then run out of money - you'll have an incomplete security and lenders do not like this so you can get stuck.… 2 19881 Hi, I am looking into doing a KDR in Melbourne and am contemplating using Kialla Homes.
