Hey guys, Just after some general info on subdividing blocks?? Can anyone tell me what is involved??

Yup, definitely like the lighter one as well. It makes it stand out a lot more!! :D

I think the average pre-construction period seems to be between 3-5 months depending on land titles and such? :? Ours is looking to be 3-4 months, then another 4-5 to build, so not overly bad really!!! Fingers crossed for the best laid plans of mice and men... :lol:
