Have you been to council ? We paid our initial deposit in June, so yeah it's taken us 8 months to get our final contract drawn up ready for signing. This was partially our fault though due to changes and questions we asked. We've been through BASIX etc and council only took 3 weeks which was a miracle! So as far as I know, we should be ready to start building in about March/April if we get our contract signed in the next few weeks. one thing i recommend Is to make sure your certificate to commence is ready from the bank(if you have finance on the build) This too us 2 months (and only got that this week) when beechwood get this letter they have 28 days to start. i cant stress enough to make sure your bank doesnt hold your build up Our Acreage Build The Lakeview Lodge - Beechwood Homes 01/04/10 YES 2010 - Deposit paid 23/09 - PCI CANCELLED 28/09 - PCI - will it happen.-18 months later 07/10/11 - ITS OURS..WOOHOO Re: Who is building with Beechwood 56Feb 04, 2011 3:13 pm just starting Mel Check out my timeline......the weather at the start was a big factor i think ours will be about the same as yours Kathy - 18 months (our hold up has been us changing the plans and the bank.)

Luckily we have a really good Broker who has already got pre-approval for us and sent through the tender to the bank. So apparently once we have the final contract all we have to do is send that through and our finance should be sorted. We definitely dont want any more delays, so fingers crossed everything goes according to plan.

It took additional time for that also.

Melc - What home have you chosen? Hmmm dont talk to me about banks (and I work in one also) they are now holding proceedings up! MelC dont rely on pre approval as we also had this and kinda means nothing, cause once you sign the contract it all starts with the bank they need to do a Valuation on the tender, then it generally needs to be approved with the banks credit area (bascially decides if the price is right) once credit approve all the actual loan documents which include all the progress pa are produced, they then need signing and then send back for certification to ensure they are all signed correctly, then they will issue letter to commence to the builder....it is a long process that doesnt happen over night!
