Ours took 4 months from council approval to site start. Hope your not in a rush!

I haven't ever received a letter about this unless they sent it to the address that I'm building at. Only after reading the news article I called Sydney Water to complain about the charge and was told I have an outstanding bill that hasn't been paid. Well that's because I didn't know the water was e...

I've joined the fb page too. Ill spread the word about it. I got the same response from Ray Williams. I think a letter box drop is a good idea the more people that are aware the better.

I complained to those that I mentioned in my post. I also contacted the rouse hill times about it. Sydney water will get someone to phone you back in which the conversation about your complaint is recorded and sent to IPART. I assume they type this out in a transcript. It really annoys me because th...

Hopefully if enough people complain the something will be done about it soon. I can't see how they can justify why new connections are charged for something yet someone next door or two streets away who connected before July 2012 does not get charged when they benefit from the same thing. If the cos...

Hello, For anyone living in the Rouse Hill,The Ponds, Kellyville Ridge, Stanhope Gardens, Beaumont Hills and Parklea area that has a new connection to Sydney water after July 2012 will be slugged with a water levy costing $246.67 per Quarter ($1000 per year) for the next 5 years totalling $5000. Thi...

Hello, Can anyone please advise me if Wisdom pay the Electricity & Water usage during construction. I was told previously they do, now that I have sent on the bill I have been told they don't. Ironbark I would definitely be asking for that to be fixed up. I can't remember the display home having...

I got a quote from better view as well for shutters which was within $100 of other quote I got but the cheapest. Don't bother with Accent they were 3 times the amount. I also got a quote from Better View for fly screens also but I am yet to see the quality to compare. Can anyone recommend someone fo...

That's exciting its so close. It's looking great! Are you doing landscaping through Wisdom as well?

I know what you mean about all the different shades of white. Ours is up to bricking but with all this rain it will take another week or two to complete that stage no doubt.

Hi Onewheel, Your home looks beautiful. The shutters were definitely a good investment. Can't wait to see the landscaping. Can I ask what colour Clipsal Saturn lights you chose? Are they pure white or ocean mist? I'm glad you sorted out the electrical issue. Did they say this is common with a new ho...

It's frustrating I know but I in my opinion I would prefer the frames not sitting there over Easter unless they will be up. Otherwise things could be taken or the weather will be on them. I am sure they will be delivered and put up very soon. I know ours came in two days and then bottom put up and t...

Sorry in regards to the inspections still not 100% sure we will get it but if we do I would think after bricking & roof but before gyprock so they can still check the frame and maybe pci??

We are doing the manhattan. We had the same issues to everyone else very slow Admin. We signed up around Oct11, 1st plans Feb, contract August 12, cc Nov and didn't start until March. Frustrated is an understatement at many times we thought about walking away. Hopefully the build is above our expect...

Thanks Onewheel. Just wasn't sure if this is something they dislike or can say no to..... Ill give him a call. So did you spend the first night sleeping on the floor? :)

Hi Mtijiputra I am at a similar stage to you we got our slab & then plumbing last week and frame done this week. It was delivered in two stages and the next day went up. You shouldnt have to wait much longer. Fingers crossed we have nice weather for the next few weeks until we have bricks & ...

YAY!!! hope you enjoyed walking through your new house knowing it is yours finally. I have a Q for anyone building with W. Can I arrange a private inspector at any stage? Do i need to tell my SS or is this something i needed to arrange at contract signing? Just wondering how that works? What is the ...

Good luck with the handover. Remember to post some pictures once you're all unpacked. Cant wait to see the finished result.

I guess the tiler gets paid to lay them twice maybe that is why he didnt mention it? Very nice choice in tile colour matches perfectly with everything. I hope they get it sorted quickly.
