Kitchen cupboards, laundry cupboards and bathroom cupboards are all in, just a bit more to be done with the kitchen cupboards. The bath and sinks are all in too. The waterproofing is all done. This week the tiling for the laun...

Stolen Water MeterBuilding A New House

Jun 10, 2015 10:54 am

Hi all - have had my water meter stolen twice now which I have to pay for. I've talked to someone living in my estate who says they had theirs stolen after they moved in as well. I've googled this issue to try and come up with a solution as to how to secure it, but there's nothing. If the problem is...

Lockup to Handover - how long did yours take?Building A New House

Jun 03, 2015 4:29 pm

Hi all - I know this can vary between builders and depending how much they are doing and you are doing yourself BUT my house is at lockup and builder still won't give an estimate - I'm thinking about two months - how long did your house take (if you are lucky enough to be at this stage)!

Gah - 8 weeks? That's insane! I don't know why, but I thought it was two weeks - maybe that was back in the day when they weren't so busy. That's good info about the landscaping, I dont' really mind waiting for that. I do have the back and one side fence up cos neighbours are in, so it's just one si...

Wow, well done Gettinby - so exciting! Hey, do you just ring up the Shire to say you are moving in and ask them to deliver the rubbish bins does anyone know? Also, have you spoken to the landscapers? Are they helpful?

Hi Sammy, I have found them quite good to be honest. I guess I went into this expecting the worst and hoping for the best. My sales guy is simply brilliant, explains anything I want to know - even now a year after signing me up, I know that I can email him anytime and get a quick, honest answer. Now...

What does PC1 mean and Tips needed for moving into new houseBuilding A New House

May 13, 2015 3:50 pm

So....my CLO was talking about lockup occurring soon and mentioned PC1 - I presume that is when you look through the house, am I right and what does it stand for? What happens after PC1? Also, anyone who has already moved into their new home build, what are the things you wished you had done before ...

Goodness, I have been terribly slack in updating! Yes, we got the slab down before Christmas....then nothing over Christmas break which we pretty much expected. Bricks were delivered in February and the walls started to go up and all the brickwork was finished by the end of March. It's a pretty awes...
