Although when i chose theses they did tell me that the new batch is totally different to the previous batches as their place was flooded in QLD and now they are made in NSW (i think that is correct) So the lady gave me address that had built with these but my batch would be different(sounds confusing i know) Just starting -i love the colour of your walls. The house looks great. Worth all the wait i bet! Anna- we probably will be building around the same time frame. Did they give you a colour package yet? they were going to post mine but i hadnt received it so i phoned them and arranged to pick it up. Jacknruby- I found another 3 Beechwoods not sure which one yet but they look like Genesis, Great to be able to see different bricks etc and facades and see how their time frame is. Did anyone order the free house nameplate?

We want to do this but don't want to stretch budget too far knowing there are other costs to come.

Penny/Sarbear - Hope that is the address as my hubby travels to Newcastle every Tuesday so I am going to send him for a look.....and yep we got the "free" nameplate if you call it that we have more then certainly paid for it.....LOL! Well no news really here, have emailed our CSO and awaiting a reply as to when we can expect our frame to start...hopefully sooner rather then later. Made our first progress payment also, so we own (well the bank) the slab! Juststarting your place looks great, so so jealous cant wait for mine to be finished so I can move in and decorate!

No 2 are in Cameron Park (Edgeworth) and one is in Aberglassyn(behind the other one we looked at JacknRuby) They are only up to slab/frame stages. They told me 2 -3 weeks for the plans to be draw up so i am waiting till next week then i shall call them if i havent heard. There were some address in that Austral gave me in Rutherford for the bricks i like so i may go for a drive on the weekend.

The bricks are the biggest decision I think you will have to make. Our bricks that we originally wanted were discontinued.......but we went to talk to our local brick "dealer" and he said I wouldn't have built with those bricks as they weren't what they were cracked up to be. We ended up going with the impressions range, colour Moccasin, which we are very happy with. I suggest that you talk to your "dealer" and ask about the quality of the bricks before any of you decide which ones you are going with. just starting Lake View Lodge - Beechwood deposit 17/08/09 Council April 10 signed contract 11/06 earthworks started 9/07 slab completed 8/09/10 Frames 21/09/10 bricking finished 13/10/10 roof 22/10/10 Gyprock 22/11/10 Tiles bathroom 21/12/10 Kitchen in 21/12/10 Painting 09/02/11 handover 11/03/11 We are in 15/03/11!!!!!!!! http://kathdom.blogspot.com/ Re: Who is building with Beechwood 220Mar 29, 2011 1:47 pm Pennygirl Anna- we probably will be building around the same time frame. Did they give you a colour package yet? they were going to post mine but i hadnt received it so i phoned them and arranged to pick it up. Hi Penny, We got our colors and everything done and contracts signed in February. We were given our color pack at the display home when we paid our deposit. It was completely overwhelming!! Plus as it turn out, in alot of cases they give you a lot more options with things when it comes to making the decisions when you sign your contract. For example our pack gave us the choice of 6 or 8 internal door designs. When we went to make our choices we had about 20 or more to choose from and ended up changing our minds! We've picked up and dropped off paperwork a few times just to try to speed things up a bit. It might only mean a couple of days here or there but if it means a few days closer to the finnished house it's worth it!! Hope everything runs smoothly for you!
