Apr 22, 2018 4:26 pm

Hello My husband and I have a sideways sloping block in Newcastle that we’re ready to build on. We’ve spoken with Tullipan and Montgomery so far but would like to speak with a few more builders before making a decision. Does anyone have any advice or tips they can share with us? Thanks Stacey Have ...

Have you tried Williams designer homes? They are at teralba. They do a lot of slopes and have heard great things

All this time I was under the impression that our air-con (approved by the bank in our home loan) could be installed post handover. Then I find out today, that the bank valuation includes the air-con, so they will not release the funds for our final house payment until it’s installed. The quote we ...
