vicky we checked out your block and i could not believe how quick it all has been progressing
and that seems like a big double story thats being built near you

i am so glad viking that things have started to move along

i also can't believe how quick things have been moving with dfh
our temp fence went up wednesday
port a loo thursday - lol
and that gravel stuff down where the slab is going to be poured on friday
won't be long till slab

I know Rochelle. David went up one weekend and they were laying out for the slab and by the next weekend the slab had been done and the frame finished! Last Saturday the windows were in and the insulation wrap done and they looked like they were going to start with the roof tiles.

I know the one next door to us at 724 looks HUGE! It's a Porter Davis Lifestyle and we have been trying to guess which one from their floorplans, lol! I think lot 726 will be building soon as well.

We thought we saw the tap man going towards your block the other weekend! Now that they have started it won't seem 2 minutes before yours is up. Same with Viking, now that their slab is done.

You can see a lot of people were ready and waiting just for the land to settle as so many have already started building.

This is going fast, frame done!

i can't believe how quick the homes are coming along, i noticed your frame up today viking
at this stage slab should now be tues/wed but depends on the rain and we have had a lot of that wed/thurs/fri

:z

yay we finally have our slab

by the time i got home the slab was still wet enough so we decided to write our names on the slab, in what will be the garage

Yay Shellbelle, Thats great.

Has anything else been done since, keep us updated

I hear DFH are quite quick once they get going

CH are quite quick too, slab, frame, bricks and plaster in 4 weeks !

Viking, I hope they put the roof on before they plastered! Lol.

I checked out the new part if the estate last night, there are so many houses being built so quickly, it's going to look great once they are all finished

Lots if the temporary fencing has been blown over or away, I think the builders under estimate just how windy Wallan is!


Sent from my iPhone so please excuse my spelling mist cakes

Yes, I forgot the roof

Hi All,
DH and I are about to buy a block in Wallara Waters! We've only just started looking but are pretty certain already! Just thought I'd pop in and say hi. I also requested to join the Facebook group.
Belinda

sorry i keep forgetting to post here as well after updates are done on FB
we met with our SS laste week, he came to our house which was awesome and we went through everything and all the stages and whats next etc. we have been told by a few people in the industry that our ss is really good so thats great news
so yes slab is down windows and doors have been dropped off at our block, and the framing has started, I learnt today that DFH only do stick frames not any of that pre fab frames so i think its cool to watch that process the old school way.
we just came back from our block and saw them working out there and was told that we get trusses tuesday and roof wednesday... so looking forward coming home from work to see these updates.
our SS gave us the sparky's contact details so we can contact him now and organise the couple of extra power points we forgotten about.

viking your place is going really quick, what is the estimated handover at this stage??
Hi minanddan welcome
what stage were you looking at??

How exciting for you Shellbelle, can't wait til we sign everything and then actually start having things happen next year!
We're looking at stage 9, so titling in Dec.
For whoeever does the facebook approval too my name's Belinda Gr**** for the record!

It is going really quick but we have not been given a handover date yet.

We have been locked out

Both myself and my wife have tried to join the FB group a month or so ago but have had no response to our requests as yet

Our stage 9 lot is not due to title until December and it might be until mid 2013 before we can start building but the progress on Stages 7 and 8 is exciting to see every time we come up for a drive by.

I like your Lot 725, you won't get people driving past and I like the walkway through to Wallara Waters Boulevard.

I requested to join too, hopefully someone approves us all soon! We're 99% set on purchasing a lot in Stage 9 too, 951! We might be neighbours. Who are you looking to build with?

Cool, we were looking at 951 because it's closer to the park but decided on 908 for the 18m frontage.
So we will be right at the end of the street from you, assuming you proceed.

Ahh awesome, there's only 3 blocks left in stage 9 now, all near the park and the same size so not a lot of choice!

as far as I can tell the only Lots they have released on stage 9 are some of the 18 and 16m frontages as most of the wide ones were sold out of Stage 8, so they still want to be able to offer some choice of bigger blocks even though Stage 8 isn't sold out yet.

Although we weren't in a big hurry to buy, we did want a wide block and didn't want to be close to the freeway, and stage 10 is probably going to be over that way so we jumped on stage 9.

Oh in answer to whom we are going to build with, we haven't decided yet, though Carlisle Homes has been the front runner, we love their Dakota design. It's 99% what we want, but haven't given up on finding something even better.

We want to leave enough yard space to put a small swimming pool in down the track when we can afford to. So we pretty much don't want the house to be too wide as that will give us the most yard space, but we also want 4 bedrooms plus extra living area etc, and do NOT want to go 2 storeys, so it's finding the best design that fits everything we want.

We also haven't ruled out making our own design and having someone build it, but that could end up costing a lot more so at some point we'll have to work out what we are willing to compromise on.

We have found a perfect design from a builder in WA, but they don't build here
